Debian: 515-1 Moderate: LHA Buffer Overflows And Directory Traversal

Fixes multiple buffer overflows and multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities.. Debian Security Advisory DSA 515-1 This email address is being protected from spambots.

Debian -- Security Information Matt Zimmerman June 5th, 2004 Debian -- Debian security FAQ - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : lha Vulnerability : several Problem-Type : local Debian-specific: no CVE Ids : CAN-2004-0234 CAN-2004-0235 Two vulnerabilities were discovered in lha: - CAN-2004-0234 - Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the get_header function in header.c for LHA 1.14 allow remote attackers or local users to execute arbitrary code via long directory or file names in an LHA archive, which triggers the overflow when testing or extracting the archive. - CAN-2004-0235 - Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in LHA 1.14 allow remote attackers or local users to create arbitrary files via an LHA archive containing filenames with (1) .. sequences or (2) absolute pathnames with double leading slashes ("//absolute/path"). For the current stable distribution (woody), these problems have been fixed in version 1.14i-2woody1. For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 1.14i-8. We recommend that you update your lha package. Upgrade Instructions - -------------------- wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file.

Gentoo: GLSA-200405-01 Critical: LHa Security Vulnerability Exposure

Two stack-based buffer overflows and two directory traversal problems have been found in LHa. These vulnerabilities can be used to execute arbitrary code or as a denial of service attack. [More...]. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200405-02 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - https://security.gentoo.org/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Severity: High Title: Multiple vulnerabilities in LHa Date: May 09, 2004 Bugs: #49961 ID: 200405-02 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Synopsis ======= Two stack-based buffer overflows and two directory traversal problems have been found in LHa. These vulnerabilities can be used to execute arbitrary code or as a denial of service attack. Background ========= LHa is a console-based program for packing and unpacking LHarc archives. Affected packages ================ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 app-arch/lha = 114i-r2 Description ========== Ulf Harnhammar found two stack overflows and two directory traversal vulnerabilities in LHa version 1.14 and 1.17. A stack overflow occurswhen testing or extracting archives containing long file or directory names. Furthermore, LHa doesn't contain sufficient protection against relative or absolute archive paths. Impact ===== The stack overflows can be exploited to execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user testing or extracting the archive. The directory traversal vulnerabilities can be used to overwrite files in the filesystem with the rights of the user extracting the archive, potentially leading todenial of service or privilege escalation. Since LHa is often interfaced to other software like an email virus scanner, this attack can be used remotely. Workaround ========= There is no known workaround at this time. All users are advised to upgrade to the latest available version of LHa. Resolution ========= All users of LHa should upgrade to the latest stable version: # emerge sync # emerge -pv "> =app-arch/lha-114i-r2" # emerge "> =app-arch/lha-114i-r2" References ========= [ 1 ] CAN-2004-0234 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-CAN-2004-0234 [ 2 ] CAN-2004-0235 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-CAN-2004-0235 Availability =========== This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/200405-02 Concerns? ======== Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
