Mageia 2018-0369: libxkbcommon security update
Summary
Updated libxkbcommon packages fix security vulnerabilities:
Endless recursion exists in xkbcomp/expr.c in xkbcommon and libxkbcommon
before 0.8.1, which could be used by local attackers to crash xkbcommon
users by supplying a crafted keymap file that triggers boolean negation
(CVE-2018-15853).
Unchecked NULL pointer usage in xkbcommon before 0.8.1 could be used by
local attackers to crash (NULL pointer dereference) the xkbcommon parser
by supplying a crafted keymap file, because geometry tokens were
desupported incorrectly (CVE-2018-15854).
Unchecked NULL pointer usage in xkbcommon before 0.8.1 could be used by
local attackers to crash (NULL pointer dereference) the xkbcommon parser
by supplying a crafted keymap file, because the XkbFile for an xkb_geometry
section was mishandled (CVE-2018-15855).
An infinite loop when reaching EOL unexpectedly in compose/parser.c (aka
the keymap parser) in xkbcommon before 0.8.1 could be used by local
attackers to cause a denial of service during parsing of crafted keymap
files (CVE-2018-15856).
An invalid free in ExprAppendMultiKeysymList in xkbcomp/ast-build.c in
xkbcommon before 0.8.1 could be used by local attackers to crash xkbcommon
keymap parsers or possibly have unspecified other impact by supplying a
crafted keymap file (CVE-2018-15857).
Unchecked NULL pointer usage when handling invalid aliases in
CopyKeyAliasesToKeymap in xkbcomp/keycodes.c in xkbcommon before 0.8.1
could be used by local attackers to crash (NULL pointer dereference) the
xkbcommon parser by supplying a crafted keymap file (CVE-2018-15858).
Unchecked NULL pointer usage when parsing invalid atoms in ExprResolveLhs
in xkbcomp/expr.c in xkbcommon before 0.8.2 could be used by local
attackers to crash (NULL pointer dereference) the xkbcommon parser by
supplying a crafted keymap file, because lookup failures are mishandled
(CVE-2018-15859).
Unchecked NULL pointer usage in ExprResolveLhs in xkbcomp/expr.c in
xkbcommon before 0.8.2 could be used by local attackers to crash (NULL
pointer dereference) the xkbcommon parser by supplying a crafted keymap
file that triggers an xkb_intern_atom failure (CVE-2018-15861).
Unchecked NULL pointer usage in LookupModMask in xkbcomp/expr.c in
xkbcommon before 0.8.2 could be used by local attackers to crash (NULL
pointer dereference) the xkbcommon parser by supplying a crafted keymap
file with invalid virtual modifiers (CVE-2018-15862).
Unchecked NULL pointer usage in ResolveStateAndPredicate in
xkbcomp/compat.c in xkbcommon before 0.8.2 could be used by local attackersto crash (NULL pointer dereference) the xkbcommon parser by supplying a
crafted keymap file with a no-op modmask expression (CVE-2018-15863).
Unchecked NULL pointer usage in resolve_keysym in xkbcomp/parser.y in
xkbcommon before 0.8.2 could be used by local attackers to crash (NULL
pointer dereference) the xkbcommon parser by supplying a crafted keymap
file, because a map access attempt can occur for a map that was never
created (CVE-2018-15864).
