Fedora 36: 2023-0a12345678 Significant Libconfuse Memory Corruption Flaw

fedora
Calendar Grey September 20, 2022
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Essential update for libconfuse resolving CVE-2022-40320 to prevent buffer over-read vulnerabilities on Fedora 35.
Patch for CVE-2022-40320

Summary

libConfuse is a configuration file parser library, licensed under

the terms of the ISC license, and written in C. It supports

sections and (lists of) values (strings, integers, floats,

booleans or other sections), as well as some other features (such

as single/double-quoted strings, environment variable expansion,

functions and nested include statements). It makes it very

easy to add configuration file capability to a program using

a simple API.

The goal of libConfuse is not to be the configuration file parser

library with a gazillion of features. Instead, it aims to be

easy to use and quick to integrate with your code.
