[arch-security] [ASA-201609-10] mariadb: multiple issues
by Christian Rebischke 14 Sep '16

14 Sep '16

Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-201609-10 ========================================== Severity: Critical Date : 2016-09-14 CVE-ID : CVE-2016-6662 CVE-2016-6663 Package : mariadb Type : multiple issues Remote : Yes Link : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CVE Summary ======= The package mariadb before version 10.1.17-1 is vulnerable to multiple issues including arbitrary code execution and access restriction bypass. Resolution ========== Upgrade to 10.1.17-1. # pacman -Syu "mariadb>=10.1.17-1" The problems have been fixed upstream in version 10.1.17. Workaround ========== None. Description =========== - CVE-2016-6662 (arbitrary code execution) Researcher Dawid Golunski discovered several security issues in the mariadb DBMS, including a vulnerability flaw that can be exploited by a remote attacker to inject malicious settings into my.cnf configuration files. The flaw can be triggered to fully compromise the DBMS by executing arbitrary code with root privileges if mysqld_safe is executed. - CVE-2016-6663 (access restriction bypass) In the past mariadb used to read the main configuration file from three different locations. One of them (the datadir) is unsafe because it's writeable by the sql-server. This way a remote attacker who could gain access to the sql-server could deploy a maliciously crafted configuration file. Impact ====== A remote attacker is able to inject malicious configuration into existing configuration files, create new configuration files, gain access to logging functions and execute arbitrary code with root privileges if mysqld_safe is executed. References ========== https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2016-6662 https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=2016-6663 https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-10465 http://legalhackers.com/advisories/MySQL-Exploit-Remote-Root-Code-Execution…

13 Sep '16

Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-201609-9 ========================================= Severity: Medium Date : 2016-09-13 CVE-ID : CVE-2016-5426 CVE-2016-5427 Package : powerdns Type : denial of service Remote : Yes Link : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CVE Summary ======= The package powerdns before version 4.0.1-3 is vulnerable to denial of service. Resolution ========== Upgrade to 4.0.1-3. # pacman -Syu "powerdns>=4.0.1-3" The problems have been fixed upstream in version 4.0.0. Workaround ========== Running dnsdist in front of potentially affected servers prevents CVE-2016-5426, and can prevent CVE-2016-5427 with the use of custom rules described in the PowerDNS advisory. Description =========== Two issues have been found in PowerDNS Authoritative Server allowing a remote, unauthenticated attacker to cause an abnormal load on the PowerDNS backend by sending crafted DNS queries, which might result in a partial denial of service if the backend becomes overloaded. SQL backends for example are particularly vulnerable to this kind of unexpected load if they have not been dimensioned for it. - CVE-2016-5426 PowerDNS Authoritative Server accepts queries with a qname's length larger than 255 bytes. - CVE-2016-5427 PowerDNS Authoritative Server does not properly handle dot inside labels. Impact ====== A remote, unauthenticated attacker can cause an abnormal load on the backend by sending crafted DNS queries, resulting in denial of service. References ========== http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2016/q3/464 https://doc.powerdns.com/md/security/powerdns-advisory-2016-01/ https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2016-5426 https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2016-5427

Resolution ========== Upgrade to 1:1.1.1-1. # pacman -Syu "libtorrent-rasterbar>=1:1.1.1-1" The problem has been fixed upstream in version 1.1.1. Workaround ========== None. Description =========== A bug has been found in the libtorrent-rasterbar code handling GZIP-encoded responses from a tracker, where malformed responses could lead to a crash. Impact ====== A remote attacker can crash a client using libtorrent-rasterbar by sending malformed GZIP-encoded responses from a tracker.

Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-201609-7 ========================================= Severity: Medium Date : 2016-09-10 CVE-ID : CVE-2016-5388 Package : tomcat8 Type : proxy injection Remote : Yes Link : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CVE Summary ======= The package tomcat8 before version 8.0.37-1 is vulnerable to proxy injection. Resolution ========== Upgrade to 8.0.37-1. # pacman -Syu "tomcat8>=8.0.37-1" The problems have been fixed upstream in version 8.0.37. Workaround ========== None. Description =========== It was discovered that tomcat used the value of the Proxy header from HTTP requests to initialize the HTTP_PROXY environment variable for CGI scripts, which in turn was incorrectly used by certain HTTP client implementations to configure the proxy for outgoing HTTP requests. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to redirect HTTP requests performed by a CGI script to an attacker-controlled proxy via a malicious HTTP request. Impact ====== A remote attacker is able to use this flaw to redirect HTTP requests performed by a CGI script to an attacker-controlled proxy via a malicious HTTP request. References ========== https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2016-5388 https://www.apache.org/security/asf-httpoxy-response.txt

[arch-security] [ASA-201609-6] graphicsmagick: multiple issues

Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-201609-6 ========================================= Severity: Critical Date : 2016-09-09 CVE-ID : CVE-2016-2317 Package : graphicsmagick Type : multiple issues Remote : Yes Link : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CVE Summary ======= The package graphicsmagick before version 1.3.25-1 is vulnerable to multiple issues. Resolution ========== Upgrade to 1.3.25-1 # pacman -Syu "graphicsmagick>=1.3.25-1" The problem has been fixed upstream in version 1.3.25. Workaround ========== None. Description =========== 1. A last instance of CVE-2016-2317 (heap buffer overflow) in the MVG rendering code (also impacts SVG). This problem was originally reported by Gustavo Grieco. 2. A possible heap overflow of the EscapeParenthesis() function. While I was not able to reproduce it for myself, the implementation is replaced with a different algorithm. This problem was reported by Gustavo Grieco. 3. The Utah RLE reader did not validate that header information was reasonable given the file size and so it could cause huge memory allocations and/or consume huge amounts of CPU. This problem was reported by Agostino Sarubbo. 4. The TIFF reader had a bug pertaining to use of TIFFGetField() when a 'count' value is returned. The bug caused a heap read overflow (due to using strlcpy() to copy a possibly unterminated string) which could allow an untrusted file to crash the software. Impact ====== An remote attacker is able to create specially crafted files that, when opened or processed, may lead to denial of service or possibly arbitrary code execution.
