security advisoryFedorabug fixFedora 30 Eog Security Update: Fix For Executable Stack Issues
This update fixes a [bug](https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/5268) in the Meson build system which caused binaries and libraries to incorrectly be marking as requiring an executable stack. This makes them more vulnerable to security issues, and also can result in errors caused by SELinux denials. This update also provides rebuilds of all the packages that were built with the buggy. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2019-ac2a21ff07 2019-04-17 16:04:32.355044 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Name : eog Product : Fedora 30 Version : 3.32.1 Release : 2.fc30 URL : https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/EyeOfGnome Summary : Eye of GNOME image viewer Description : The Eye of GNOME image viewer (eog) is the official image viewer for the GNOME desktop. It can view single image files in a variety of formats, as well as large image collections. eog is extensible through a plugin system. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Update Information: This update fixes a [bug](https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/5268) in the Meson build system which caused binaries and libraries to incorrectly be marking as requiring an executable stack. This makes them more vulnerable to security issues, and also can result in errors caused by SELinux denials. This update also provides rebuilds of all the packages that were built with the buggy Meson, excepting packages for updates were already pending (in those cases, those updates have been edited instead). This includes gnome-initial-setup, which was affected by this problem, resulting in a [release-blocking bug](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1699099) that prevented it running correctly with SELinux in enforcing mode. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------References: [ 1 ] Bug #1699099 -gnome-initial-setup 3.32.0+ crashes due to SELinux denials (because it has execstack flag set, because meson 0.50.0 sets it when it shouldn't) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1699099 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------This update can be installed with the "dnf" update program. Use su -c 'dnf upgrade --advisory FEDORA-2019-ac2a21ff07' at the command line. For more information, refer to the dnf documentation available at https://dnf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/command_ref.html All packages are signed with the Fedora Project GPG key.

security advisorysecurity issueupdateRed Hat Linux: RHSA-2003:128-01 Critical: EOG Code Execution Risk
A carefully crafted filename passed to the program could lead to the execution ofarbitrary code.. ` --------------------------------------------------------------------- Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Updated Eye of GNOME packages fix vulnerability Advisory ID: RHSA-2003:128-01 Issue date: 2003-04-03 Updated on: 2003-04-03 Product: Red Hat Linux Keywords: eog Cross references: Obsoletes: CVE Names: CAN-2003-0165 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Topic: Updated eog packages that fix a security vulnerability are now available. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Linux 8.0 - i386 Red Hat Linux 9 - i386 3. Problem description: Eye of GNOME (EOG) is a component for the GNOME desktop used by various Red Hat Linux packages for displaying images. A vulnerability was found in EOG version 2.2.0 and earlier. A carefully crafted filename passed to the program could lead to the execution of arbitrary code. An attacker could exploit this because various packages (Mutt, for example) make use of EOG for image viewing. All users are advised to upgrade to these erratum packages which contain a backported patch correcting this issue. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied. To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run: rpm -Fvh [filenames] where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the desired RPMs. Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date This will start aninteractive process that will result in the appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system. 5. RPMs required: Red Hat Linux 8.0: SRPMS: i386: Red Hat Linux 9: SRPMS: i386: 6.
