Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-201703-9 ========================================= Severity: High Date : 2017-03-14 CVE-ID : CVE-2016-8886 CVE-2016-9591 Package : jasper Type : multiple issues Remote : Yes Link : https://security.archlinux.org/AVG-69 Summary ======= The package jasper before version 2.0.12-1 is vulnerable to multiple issues including arbitrary code execution and denial of service. Resolution ========== Upgrade to 2.0.12-1. # pacman -Syu "jasper>=2.0.12-1" The problems have been fixed upstream in version 2.0.12. Workaround ========== None. Description =========== - CVE-2016-8886 (denial of service) A memory allocation failure was found in jas_malloc triggered by a crafted file that results in an application crash leading to denial of service. - CVE-2016-9591 (arbitrary code execution) A heap-use-after-free vulnerability has been found in jasper. The vulnerability exists in code responsible for re-encoding the decoded input image file to a J2P image. The vulnerability is caused by not setting related pointers to be null after the pointers are freed (i.e. missing Setting-Pointer-Null operations after free). The vulnerability can further cause double-free. Impact ====== A remote attacker is able to use specially crafted images that, when processed, lead to arbitrary code execution or application crash.

Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-201703-3 ========================================= Severity: Critical Date : 2017-03-10 CVE-ID : CVE-2017-5398 CVE-2017-5399 CVE-2017-5400 CVE-2017-5401 CVE-2017-5402 CVE-2017-5403 CVE-2017-5404 CVE-2017-5405 CVE-2017-5406 CVE-2017-5407 CVE-2017-5408 CVE-2017-5410 CVE-2017-5412 CVE-2017-5413 CVE-2017-5414 CVE-2017-5415 CVE-2017-5416 CVE-2017-5417 CVE-2017-5418 CVE-2017-5419 CVE-2017-5420 CVE-2017-5421 CVE-2017-5422 CVE-2017-5426 CVE-2017-5427 Package : firefox Type : multiple issues Remote : Yes Link : https://security.archlinux.org/AVG-194 Summary ======= The package firefox before version 52.0-1 is vulnerable to multiple issues including arbitrary code execution, access restriction bypass, denial of service, information disclosure and content spoofing. Resolution ========== Upgrade to 52.0-1. # pacman -Syu "firefox>=52.0-1" The problems have been fixed upstream in version 52.0. Workaround ========== None. Description =========== - CVE-2017-5398 (arbitrary code execution) Several memory safety bugs, some of them leading to memory corruption issues have been found in Firefox < 52 and Thunderbird < 45.8. - CVE-2017-5399 (arbitrary code execution) Several memory safety bugs, some of them leading to memory corruption issues have been found in Firefox < 52. - CVE-2017-5400 (arbitrary code execution) JIT-spray targeting asm.js combined with a heap spray allows for a bypass of ASLR and DEP protections leading to potential memory corruption attacks. - CVE-2017-5401 (arbitrary code execution) A crash triggerable by web content in which an ErrorResult references unassigned memory due to a logic error. - CVE-2017-5402 (arbitrary code execution) A use-after-free can occur when events are fired for a FontFace object after the object has been already been destroyed while working with fonts. - CVE-2017-5403 (arbitrary code execution) When adding a range to an object in the DOM, it is possible to use addRange to add the range to an incorrect root object. This triggers a use-after-free, resulting in a potentially exploitable crash. - CVE-2017-5404 (arbitrary code execution) A use-after-free error can occur when manipulating ranges in selections with one node inside a native anonymous tree and one node outside of it. This results in a potentially exploitable crash. - CVE-2017-5405 (content spoofing) Certain response codes in FTP connections can result in the use of uninitialized values for ports in FTP operations. - CVE-2017-5406 (denial of service) A segmentation fault can occur in the Skia graphics library during some canvas operations due to issues with mask/clip intersection and empty masks. - CVE-2017-5407 (information disclosure) Using SVG filters that don't use the fixed point math implementation on a target iframe, a malicious page can extract pixel values from a targeted user. This can be used to extract history information and read text values across domains. This violates same-origin policy and leads to information disclosure. - CVE-2017-5408 (information disclosure) Video files loaded video captions cross-origin without checking for the presence of CORS headers permitting such cross-origin use, leading to potential information disclosure for video captions. - CVE-2017-5410 (arbitrary code execution) Memory corruption resulting in a potentially exploitable crash during garbage collection of JavaScript due errors in how incremental sweeping is managed for memory cleanup. - CVE-2017-5412 (information disclosure) A buffer overflow read during SVG filter color value operations, resulting in data exposure. - CVE-2017-5413 (denial of service) A segmentation fault can occur during some bidirectional layout operations. - CVE-2017-5414 (information disclosure) The file picker dialog can choose and display the wrong local default directory when instantiated. On some operating systems, this can lead to information disclosure, such as the operating system or the local account name. - CVE-2017-5415 (content spoofing) An attack can use a blob URL and script to spoof an arbitrary address bar URL prefaced by blob: as the protocol, leading to user confusion and further spoofing attacks. - CVE-2017-5416 (denial of service) In certain circumstances a networking event listener can be prematurely released. This appears to result in a null dereference in practice. - CVE-2017-5417 (content spoofing) When dragging content from the primary browser pane to the address bar on a malicious site, it is possible to change the address bar so that the displayed location following navigation does not match the URL of the newly loaded page. This allows for spoofing attacks. - CVE-2017-5418 (information disclosure) An out of bounds read error occurs when parsing some HTTP digest authorization responses, resulting in information leakage through the reading of random memory containing matches to specifically set patterns. - CVE-2017-5419 (denial of service) If a malicious site repeatedly triggers a modal authentication prompt, eventually the browser UI will become non-responsive, requiring shutdown through the operating system. This is a denial of service (DOS) attack. - CVE-2017-5420 (content spoofing) A javascript: url loaded by a malicious page can obfuscate its location by blanking the URL displayed in the address bar, allowing for an attacker to spoof an existing page without the malicious page's address being displayed correctly. - CVE-2017-5421 (content spoofing) A malicious site could spoof the contents of the print preview window if popup windows are enabled, resulting in user confusion of what site is currently loaded. - CVE-2017-5422 (denial of service) If a malicious site uses the view-source: protocol in a series within a single hyperlink, it can trigger a non-exploitable browser crash when the hyperlink is selected. This was fixed by no longer making view- source: linkable. - CVE-2017-5426 (access restriction bypass) On Linux, if the secure computing mode BPF (seccomp-bpf) filter is running when the Gecko Media Plugin sandbox is started, the sandbox fails to be applied and items that would run within the sandbox are run protected only by the running filter which is typically weak compared to the sandbox. - CVE-2017-5427 (arbitrary code execution) A non-existent chrome.manifest file will attempt to be loaded during startup from the primary installation directory. If a malicious user with local access puts chrome.manifest and other referenced files in this directory, they will be loaded and activated during startup. This could result in malicious software being added without consent or modification of referenced installed files. Impact ====== A remote attacker can bypass access restrictions, spoof content, access sensitive information, cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code on the affected host.

Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-201703-2 ========================================= Severity: Critical Date : 2017-03-10 CVE-ID : CVE-2017-5398 CVE-2017-5400 CVE-2017-5401 CVE-2017-5402 CVE-2017-5404 CVE-2017-5405 CVE-2017-5407 CVE-2017-5408 CVE-2017-5410 Package : thunderbird Type : multiple issues Remote : Yes Link : https://security.archlinux.org/AVG-193 Summary ======= The package thunderbird before version 45.8.0-1 is vulnerable to multiple issues including arbitrary code execution, information disclosure and content spoofing. Resolution ========== Upgrade to 45.8.0-1. # pacman -Syu "thunderbird>=45.8.0-1" The problems have been fixed upstream in version 45.8.0. Workaround ========== None. Description =========== - CVE-2017-5398 (arbitrary code execution) Several memory safety bugs, some of them leading to memory corruption issues have been found in Firefox < 52 and Thunderbird < 45.8. - CVE-2017-5400 (arbitrary code execution) JIT-spray targeting asm.js combined with a heap spray allows for a bypass of ASLR and DEP protections leading to potential memory corruption attacks. - CVE-2017-5401 (arbitrary code execution) A crash triggerable by web content in which an ErrorResult references unassigned memory due to a logic error. - CVE-2017-5402 (arbitrary code execution) A use-after-free can occur when events are fired for a FontFace object after the object has been already been destroyed while working with fonts. - CVE-2017-5404 (arbitrary code execution) A use-after-free error can occur when manipulating ranges in selections with one node inside a native anonymous tree and one node outside of it. This results in a potentially exploitable crash. - CVE-2017-5405 (content spoofing) Certain response codes in FTP connections can result in the use of uninitialized values for ports in FTP operations. - CVE-2017-5407 (information disclosure) Using SVG filters that don't use the fixed point math implementation on a target iframe, a malicious page can extract pixel values from a targeted user. This can be used to extract history information and read text values across domains. This violates same-origin policy and leads to information disclosure. - CVE-2017-5408 (information disclosure) Video files loaded video captions cross-origin without checking for the presence of CORS headers permitting such cross-origin use, leading to potential information disclosure for video captions. - CVE-2017-5410 (arbitrary code execution) Memory corruption resulting in a potentially exploitable crash during garbage collection of JavaScript due errors in how incremental sweeping is managed for memory cleanup. Impact ====== A remote attacker can access sensitive information, force a user to connect to a spoofed FTP port or execute arbitrary code on the affected host.

[arch-security] [ASA-201703-1] curl: insufficient validation

Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-201703-1 ========================================= Severity: Low Date : 2017-03-03 CVE-ID : CVE-2017-2629 Package : curl Type : insufficient validation Remote : Yes Link : https://security.archlinux.org/AVG-179 Summary ======= The package curl before version 7.53.0-1 is vulnerable to insufficient validation. Resolution ========== Upgrade to 7.53.0-1. # pacman -Syu "curl>=7.53.0-1" The problem has been fixed upstream in version 7.53.0. Workaround ========== None. Description =========== A coding error has been found in curl >= 7.52.0 and < 7.53.0, causing the TLS Certificate Status Request extension check to always return true. curl and libcurl support "OCSP stapling", also known as the TLS Certificate Status Request extension (using the CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYSTATUS option). When telling curl to use this feature, it uses that TLS extension to ask for a fresh proof of the server's certificate's validity. If the server doesn't support the extension, or fails to provide said proof, curl is expected to return an error. Due to a coding mistake, the code that checks for a test success or failure, ends up always thinking there's valid proof, even when there is none or if the server doesn't support the TLS extension in question. Contrary to how it used to function and contrary to how this feature is documented to work. This could lead to users not detecting when a server's certificate goes invalid or otherwise be mislead that the server is in a better shape than it is in reality. Impact ====== This vulnerability could lead to users not detecting when a server's certificate goes invalid or otherwise be mislead that the server is in a better shape than it is in reality.
