Mageia 8: 2023-0115 Moderate: Flatpak Command Injection Threat

If a malicious Flatpak app is run on a Linux virtual console such as /dev/tty1, it can copy text from the virtual console and paste it back into the virtual console's input buffer, from which the command might be run by the user's shell after the Flatpak app has exited. This is similar to CVE-2017-5226, but using the TIOCLINUX ioctl command instead . MGASA-2023-0115 - Updated flatpak packages fix security vulnerability Publication date: 24 Mar 2023 URL: https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2023-0115.html Type: security Affected Mageia releases: 8 CVE: CVE-2023-28100, CVE-2023-28101 If a malicious Flatpak app is run on a Linux virtual console such as /dev/tty1, it can copy text from the virtual console and paste it back into the virtual console's input buffer, from which the command might be run by the user's shell after the Flatpak app has exited.

(CVE-2023-28100) Flatpak app with elevated permissions mayhide those permissions from users of the 'flatpak(1)' command-line interface by setting other permissions to crafted values that contain non-printable control characters such as 'ESC'.

Debian GNU/Linux: DSA-2021:1234-1 Important: LibX11 Security Vulnerability

Esound, the Gnome sound server, contains a race condition that a malicioususer could exploit to change permissions of any file owned by the esounduser.. ` --------------------------------------------------------------------- Red Hat, Inc. Security Advisory Synopsis: esound contains a race condition Advisory ID: RHSA-2000:077-03 Issue date: 2000-10-06 Updated on: 2000-10-06 Product: Red Hat Linux Keywords: esound security esd socket Gnome Cross references: N/A --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Topic: Esound, the Gnome sound server, contains a race condition that a malicious user could exploit to change permissions of any file owned by the esound user. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Linux 6.0 - i386, alpha, sparc Red Hat Linux 6.1 - i386, alpha, sparc Red Hat Linux 6.2 - i386, alpha, sparc Red Hat Linux 6.2EE - i386, alpha, sparc Red Hat Linux 7.0 - i386 Red Hat Linux 7.0J - i386 3. Problem description: Esound, the sound daemon used for Gnome, creates a world-writable directory, /tmp/.esd. This directory is owned by the user running esound, and is used to store a socket which is used by programs connecting to the sound server. During startup, this socket's permissions are adjusted. An attacker on the system can theoretically create a symbolic link, and cause any file or directory owned by the user running esound to be made world writable. The new packages fixes this race condition. 4. Solution: For each RPM for your particular architecture, run: rpm -Fvh [filename] where filename is the name of the RPM. All active Gnome sessions should also be restarted after the upgrade is applied. 5. Bug IDs fixed ( for more info): N/A 6. RPMs required: Red Hat Linux 6.x: alpha: sparc: i386: sources: Red Hat Linux 7.0: i386: sources: 7.
