Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-201711-18 ========================================== Severity: Medium Date : 2017-11-10 CVE-ID : CVE-2017-15098 CVE-2017-15099 Package : postgresql-old-upgrade Type : multiple issues Remote : Yes Link : https://security.archlinux.org/AVG-486 Summary ======= The package postgresql-old-upgrade before version 9.6.6-1 is vulnerable to multiple issues including access restriction bypass and information disclosure. Resolution ========== Upgrade to 9.6.6-1. # pacman -Syu "postgresql-old-upgrade>=9.6.6-1" The problems have been fixed upstream in version 9.6.6. Workaround ========== None. Description =========== - CVE-2017-15098 (information disclosure) A denial of service and potential memory disclosure vulnerability has been discovered in PostgreSQL in the json_populate_recordset() and jsonb_populate_recordset() functions. - CVE-2017-15099 (access restriction bypass) An access restriction bypass vulnerability has been discovered in PostgreSQL, the "INSERT ... ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE" would not check to see if the executing user had permission to perform a "SELECT" on the index performing the conflicting check. Additionally, in a table with row-level security enabled, the "INSERT ... ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE" would not check the SELECT policies for that table before performing the update. The fix ensures that "INSERT ... ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE" checks against table permissions and RLS policies before executing. Impact ====== A remote attacker is able to bypass access restrictions via certain queries or possibly leak sensitive information from the running process.

Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-201711-15 ========================================== Severity: Medium Date : 2017-11-08 CVE-ID : CVE-2017-3735 CVE-2017-3736 Package : lib32-openssl Type : multiple issues Remote : Yes Link : https://security.archlinux.org/AVG-478 Summary ======= The package lib32-openssl before version 1:1.1.0.g-1 is vulnerable to multiple issues including information disclosure and denial of service. Resolution ========== Upgrade to 1:1.1.0.g-1. # pacman -Syu "lib32-openssl>=1:1.1.0.g-1" The problems have been fixed upstream in version 1.1.0.g. Workaround ========== None. Description =========== - CVE-2017-3735 (denial of service) A security issue has been found in OpenSSL < 1.1.0g. If an X.509 certificate has a malformed IPAddressFamily extension, OpenSSL could do a one-byte buffer overread. The most likely result would be an erroneous display of the certificate in text format. - CVE-2017-3736 (information disclosure) A carry propagation bug has been found in OpenSSL < 1.1.0g in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private key that is shared between multiple clients. This only affects processors that support the BMI1, BMI2 and ADX extensions like Intel Broadwell (5th generation) and later or AMD Ryzen. Impact ====== A remote attacker can cause a denial of service via a crafted X.509 certificate. A remote attacker with access to a large amount of resources might be able to retrieve a private key, depending on the kind of processor used.
