openSUSE 13.2: 2015:0807-1 Important: DirectFB Denial Of Service

opensuse
Calendar Grey April 30, 2015
Dist Opensuse Esm H88
A significant patch for openSUSE rectifies multiple security flaws in DirectFB, mitigating risks of possible buffer overflow attacks and system instability.
An update that fixes two vulnerabilities is now available.

Description

DirectFB was updated to fix two security issues.

The following vulnerabilities were fixed:

* CVE-2014-2977: Multiple integer signedness errors could allow remote

attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute

arbitrary code via the Voodoo interface, which triggers a stack-based

buffer overflow.

* CVE-2014-2978: Remote attackers could cause a denial of service (crash)

and possibly execute arbitrary code via the Voodoo interface, which

triggers an out-of-bounds write.
