Gentoo: GLSA-202310-12 Urgent Mitigation for Apache HTTP Server Flaw

Multiple vulnerabilities were found in WordNet, possibly allowing for the execution of arbitrary code.. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200810-01 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - https://security.gentoo.org/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Severity: Normal Title: WordNet: Execution of arbitrary code Date: October 07, 2008 Bugs: #211491 ID: 200810-01 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Synopsis ======= Multiple vulnerabilities were found in WordNet, possibly allowing for the execution of arbitrary code. Background ========= WordNet is a large lexical database of English. Affected packages ================ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 app-dicts/wordnet < 3.0-r2 > = 3.0-r2 Description ========== Jukka Ruohonen initially reported a boundary error within the searchwn() function in src/wn.c. A thorough investigation by the oCERT team revealed several other vulnerabilities in WordNet: * Jukka Ruohonen and Rob Holland (oCERT) reported multiple boundary errors within the searchwn() function in src/wn.c, the wngrep() function in lib/search.c, the morphstr() and morphword() functions in lib/morph.c, and the getindex() in lib/search.c, which lead to stack-based buffer overflows. * Rob Holland (oCERT) reported two boundary errors within the do_init() function in lib/morph.c, which lead to stack-based buffer overflows via specially crafted "WNSEARCHDIR" or "WNHOME" environment variables. * Rob Holland (oCERT) reported multiple boundary errors in the bin_search() and bin_search_key() functions inbinsrch.c, which lead to stack-based buffer overflows via specially crafted data files. * Rob Holland (oCERT) reported a boundary error within the parse_index() function in lib/search.c, which leads to a heap-based buffer overflow via specially crafted data files. Impact ===== * In case the application is accessible e.g. via a web server, a remote attacker could pass overly long strings as arguments to the "wm" binary, possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary code. * A local attacker could exploit the second vulnerability via specially crafted "WNSEARCHDIR" or "WNHOME" environment variables, possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary code with escalated privileges. * A local attacker could exploit the third and fourth vulnerability by making the application use specially crafted data files, possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary code. Workaround ========= There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========= All WordNet users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "> =app-dicts/wordnet-3.0-r2" References ========= [ 1 ] CVE-2008-2149 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2008-2149 [ 2 ] CVE-2008-3908 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2008-3908 Availability =========== This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/200810-01 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.
