    [guru] Gentoo biztonsagi frissitesek


    DATE: Mon, 08 Dec 2008 19:16:04 +0100
    Buffer overflow hibát találtak az optipng csomag BMP állomány felolvasójában.
    
    Két stack buffer overflow hibát is találtak az enscript csomagban, ezek
    kihasználásához a -e opció megadása szükséges.
    
    Az ipsec-tools csomag racoon daemon-ja két DoS hibát is tartalmaz: memory
    leak az érvénytelen proposal-ok kezelésekor, nem távolítja el az "orphaned
    ph1" (phase 1) azonosítókat.
    
    Memory leak hibát, valamint ellenőrzések kikerülési lehetőségeit találták
    a lighttpd csomagban.
    
    Buffer overflow hibát találtak a libsamplerate rutinkönyvtárban.
    
    Több biztonsági hibát is találtak a libxml2 rutinkönyvtárban: végtelen
    rekurzió az attributum értékek felolvasásakor, heap buffer overflow hiba
    az xmlParseAttValueComplex() függvényben, memory leak a "predefined entity
    definition" kezelésben, integer overflow hiba az xmlBufferResize()
    függvényben, integer overflow hiba az xmlSAX2Characters() függvényben.
    
    Több biztonsági hibát is találtak a mantis rendszerben: a create_function()
    függvény ellenőrzetlenül használja a sort paraméterét, nem megfelelő
    a jogosultság ellenőrzése, nem törli a session cookie-t logout esetén,
    HTTPS protokoll használata esetén nem állítja be a session cookie-k secure
    flag-jét.
    
    Az mgetty csomag nem megfelelő módon kezeli az átmeneti állományokat.

         Title: OptiPNG: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code
          Date: December 02, 2008
          Bugs: #246522

    Synopsis
    ========
    
    A vulnerability in OptiPNG might result in user-assisted execution of
    arbitrary code.
    
    Background
    ==========
    
    OptiPNG is a PNG optimizer that recompresses image files to a smaller
    size, without losing any information.
    
    Affected packages
    =================
    
        -------------------------------------------------------------------
         Package            /  Vulnerable  /                    Unaffected
        -------------------------------------------------------------------
      1  media-gfx/optipng       < 0.6.2                          >= 0.6.2
    
    Description
    ===========
    
    A buffer overflow in the BMP reader in OptiPNG has been reported.
    
    Impact
    ======
    
    A remote attacker could entice a user to process a specially crafted
    BMP image, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with
    the privileges of the user running the application, or a Denial of
    Service.
    
    Workaround
    ==========
    
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    
    Resolution
    ==========
    
    All OptiPNG users should upgrade to the latest version:
    
        # emerge --sync
        # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-gfx/optipng-0.6.2"

          Date: December 02, 2008
          Bugs: #243228
            ID: 200812-02
    
    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
    
    Synopsis
    ========
    
    Two buffer overflows in enscript might lead to the execution of
    arbitrary code.
    
    Background
    ==========
    
    enscript is a powerful ASCII to PostScript file converter.
    
    Affected packages
    =================
    
        -------------------------------------------------------------------

      1  app-text/enscript     < 1.6.4-r4                      >= 1.6.4-r4
    
    Description
    ===========
    
    Two stack-based buffer overflows in the read_special_escape() function
    in src/psgen.c have been reported. Ulf Harnhammar of Secunia Research
    discovered a vulnerability related to the "setfilename" command
    (CVE-2008-3863), and Kees Cook of Ubuntu discovered a vulnerability
    related to the "font" escape sequence (CVE-2008-4306).
    
    Impact
    ======
    
    An attacker could entice a user or automated system to process
    specially crafted input with the special escapes processing enabled
    using the "-e" option, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary
    code.
    
    Workaround
    ==========
    
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    
    Resolution
    ==========
    
    All enscript users should upgrade to the latest version:
    
        # emerge --sync
        # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-text/enscript-1.6.4-r4"

    Synopsis
    ========

      remove an "orphaned ph1" (phase 1) handle when it has been initiated
      remotely (CVE-2008-3652).
    
    Impact
    ======
    
    An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to cause a Denial of

    Synopsis
    ========
    
    Multiple vulnerabilities in lighttpd may lead to information disclosure
    or a Denial of Service.
    
    Background
    ==========
    
    lighttpd is a lightweight high-performance web server.
    
    Affected packages
    =================

      1  www-servers/lighttpd      < 1.4.20                      >= 1.4.20
    
    Description
    ===========
    
    Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in lighttpd:
    
    * Qhy reported a memory leak in the http_request_parse() function in
      request.c (CVE-2008-4298).
    
    * Gaetan Bisson reported that URIs are not decoded before applying
      url.redirect and url.rewrite rules (CVE-2008-4359).
    
    * Anders1 reported that mod_userdir performs case-sensitive
      comparisons on filename components in configuration options, which is
      insufficient when case-insensitive filesystems are used
      (CVE-2008-4360).
    
    Impact
    ======
    
    A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to cause a Denial
    of Service, to bypass intended access restrictions, to obtain sensitive
    information, or to possibly modify data.
    
    Workaround
    ==========
    
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    
    Resolution
    ==========
    
    All lighttpd users should upgrade to the latest version:

    Description
    ===========
    
    Russell O'Connor reported a buffer overflow in src/src_sinc.c related
    to low conversion ratios.
    
    Impact

    Synopsis
    ========
    
    Multiple vulnerabilities in libxml2 might lead to execution of
    arbitrary code or Denial of Service.
    
    Background
    ==========
    
    libxml2 is the XML (eXtended Markup Language) C parser and toolkit
    initially developed for the Gnome project.
    
    Affected packages
    =================
    
        -------------------------------------------------------------------
         Package           /  Vulnerable  /                     Unaffected
        -------------------------------------------------------------------
      1  dev-libs/libxml2     < 2.7.2-r1                       >= 2.7.2-r1
    
    Description
    ===========
    
    Multiple vulnerabilities were reported in libxml2:
    
    * Andreas Solberg reported that libxml2 does not properly detect
      recursion during entity expansion in an attribute value
      (CVE-2008-3281).
    
    * A heap-based buffer overflow has been reported in the
      xmlParseAttValueComplex() function in parser.c (CVE-2008-3529).
    
    * Christian Weiske reported that predefined entity definitions in
      entities are not properly handled (CVE-2008-4409).
    
    * Drew Yao of Apple Product Security reported an integer overflow in
      the xmlBufferResize() function that can lead to an infinite loop
      (CVE-2008-4225).
    
    * Drew Yao of Apple Product Security reported an integer overflow in
      the xmlSAX2Characters() function leading to a memory corruption
      (CVE-2008-4226).
    
    Impact
    ======
    
    A remote attacker could entice a user or automated system to open a
    specially crafted XML document with an application using libxml2,
    possibly resulting in the exeution of arbitrary code or a high CPU and
    memory consumption.
    
    Workaround
    ==========
    
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    
    Resolution
    ==========
    
    All libxml2 users should upgrade to the latest version:
    
        # emerge --sync
        # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/libxml2-2.7.2-r1"

    Synopsis
    ========
    
    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Mantis, the most
    severe of which leading to the remote execution of arbitrary code.
    
    Background

      1  www-apps/mantisbt     < 1.1.4-r1                      >= 1.1.4-r1
    
    Description
    ===========
    
    Multiple issues have been reported in Mantis:
    
    * EgiX reported that manage_proj_page.php does not correctly sanitize
      the sort parameter before passing it to create_function() in
      core/utility_api.php (CVE-2008-4687).
    
    * Privileges of viewers are not sufficiently checked before composing
      a link with issue data in the source anchor (CVE-2008-4688).
