Fedora 37: FEDORA-2023-5a4fd08de9 Low Severity Zchunk Issue

Fix several low severity security bugs.. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2023-5a4fd08de9 2023-04-06 01:53:39.783218 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Name : zchunk Product : Fedora 37 Version : 1.3.1 Release : 1.fc37 URL : https://github.com/zchunk/zchunk Summary : Compressed file format that allows easy deltas Description : zchunk is a compressed file format that splits the file into independent chunks. This allows you to only download the differences when downloading a new version of the file, and also makes zchunk files efficient over rsync. zchunk files are protected with strong checksums to verify that the file you downloaded is in fact the file you wanted. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Update Information: Fix several low severity security bugs. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------ChangeLog: * Tue Apr 4 2023 Jonathan Dieter - 1.3.1-1 - Fix a few low severity security bugs including - An off-by-one overflow when reading compressed integers from a malicious zchunk file - Error handling being skipped when the number of bytes read doesn't match what's expected - Not freeing memory when attempting to reallocate to size 0 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------This update can be installed with the "dnf" update program. Use su -c 'dnf upgrade --advisory FEDORA-2023-5a4fd08de9' at the command line.

Debian 10: DLA-3315-1 Critical: SoX Memory Access Threats

This update fixes multiple file format validation vulnerabilities that could result in memory access violations such as buffer overflows and floating point exceptions. It also fixes a regression in hcom parsing introduced when fixing CVE-2017-11358. . ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian LTS Advisory DLA-3315-1 This email address is being protected from spambots.

It also fixes a regression in hcom parsing introduced when fixing CVE-2017-11358. CVE-2019-13590 In sox-fmt.h (startread function), there is an integer overflow on the result of integer addition (wraparound to 0) fed into the lsx_calloc macro that wraps malloc. When a NULL pointer is returned, it is used without a prior check that it is a valid pointer, leading to a NULL pointer dereference on lsx_readbuf in formats_i.c. CVE-2021-3643 The lsx_adpcm_init function within libsox leads to a global-buffer-overflow. This flaw allows an attacker to input a malicious file, leading to the disclosure of sensitive information. CVE-2021-23159 A vulnerability was found in SoX, where a heap-buffer-overflow occurs in function lsx_read_w_buf() in formats_i.c file. The vulnerability is exploitable with a crafted file, that could cause an application to crash. CVE-2021-23172 A vulnerability was found in SoX, where a heap-buffer-overflow occurs in function startread() in hcom.c file. The vulnerability is exploitable with a crafted hcomn file, that could cause an application to crash. CVE-2021-23210 A floating point exception (divide-by-zero) issue was discovered in SoX in functon read_samples() of voc.c file. An attacker with a crafted file, could cause an application to crash. CVE-2021-33844 A floating point exception (divide-by-zero) issue was discovered in SoX in functon startread() of wav.c file. An attacker with a crafted wav file, could cause an application to crash. CVE-2021-40426 A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the sphere.c start_read() functionality of Sound Exchange libsox. A specially-crafted file can lead to a heap buffer overflow. An attacker can provide a malicious file to trigger this vulnerability. CVE-2022-31650 There is a floating-point exception in lsx_aiffstartwrite in aiff.c. CVE-2022-31651 There is an assertion failure in rate_init in rate.c. For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version 14.4.2+git20190427-1+deb10u1. We recommend that you upgrade your sox packages. For the detailed security status of sox please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/source-package/sox Further information about Debian LTS security advisories, how to apply these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be found at: https://wiki.debian.org/LTS .

Fedora Core 3: 2005-403 Moderate: gedit Filename Structure Vulnerability

An updated gedit package that fixes a file name format string vulnerability is now available.. ---------------------------------------------------------------------Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2005-402 2005-06-26 ---------------------------------------------------------------------Product : Fedora Core 3 Name : gedit Version : 2.8.1 Release : 2.fc3.1 Summary : gEdit is a small but powerful text editor for GNOME. Description : gEdit is a small but powerful text editor designed specifically for the GNOME GUI desktop. gEdit includes a plug-in API (which supports extensibility while keeping the core binary small), support for editing multiple documents using notebook tabs, and standard text editor functions. You'll need to have GNOME and GTK+ installed to use gEdit. ---------------------------------------------------------------------Update Information: An updated gedit package that fixes a file name format string vulnerability is now available. This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team gEdit is a small text editor designed specifically for the GNOME GUI desktop. A file name format string vulnerability has been discovered in gEdit. It is possible for an attacker to create a file with a carefully crafted name which, when the file is opened, executes arbitrary instructions on a victim's machine. Although it is unlikely that a user would manually open a file with such a carefully crafted file name, a user could, for example, be tricked into opening such a file from within an email client. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-1686 to this issue. Users of gEdit should upgrade to this updated package, which contains a backported patch to correct this issue. ---------------------------------------------------------------------* Tue Jun 7 2005 Ray Strode 1:2.8.1-2.fc3.1 - Dontpass user input as format specifiers to gtk_message_dialog_new (bug 159657). ---------------------------------------------------------------------This update can be downloaded from: 0cda03e960fa2a10affb26df06a137c8 SRPMS/gedit-2.8.1-2.fc3.1.src.rpm e17d271ac464e23edd551516afae1c7f x86_64/gedit-2.8.1-2.fc3.1.x86_64.rpm e0c4cd2e6cfbd7c089521acae61e9320 x86_64/gedit-devel-2.8.1-2.fc3.1.x86_64.rpm 462896c74e203ef95b002f649cbee289 x86_64/debug/gedit-debuginfo-2.8.1-2.fc3.1.x86_64.rpm c95bab56d29eed0c5320ada147fba03d i386/gedit-2.8.1-2.fc3.1.i386.rpm d4d49f857df7b492cd45f00d9f06efda i386/gedit-devel-2.8.1-2.fc3.1.i386.rpm 72902a585ff2c43b57840b24d1868ecc i386/debug/gedit-debuginfo-2.8.1-2.fc3.1.i386.rpm This update can also be installed with the Update Agent; you can launch the Update Agent with the 'up2date' command. ---------------------------------------------------------------------Thanks go to Bernd Bartmann for reminding me to send this announcement out.
