Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-201508-9 ========================================= Severity: Medium Date : 2015-08-25 CVE-ID : CVE-2015-5963 Package : python-django Type : denial of service Remote : Yes Link : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CVE Summary ======= The packages python-django and python2-django before version 1.8.4-1 are vulnerable to remote denial of service. Resolution ========== Upgrade to 1.8.4-1. # pacman -Syu "python-django>=1.8.4-1" # pacman -Syu "python2-django>=1.8.4-1" The problem has been fixed upstream in version 1.8.4, 1.7.10 and 1.4.22. Workaround ========== None. Description =========== Previously, a session could be created when anonymously accessing the django.contrib.auth.views.logout view (provided it wasn't decorated with django.contrib.auth.decorators.login_required as done in the admin). This could allow an attacker to easily create many new session records by sending repeated requests, potentially filling up the session store or causing other users' session records to be evicted. The django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware has been modified to no longer create empty session records. Impact ====== A remote attacker might be able to fill the session store, causing a denial of service.

Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-201508-8 ========================================= Severity: Medium Date : 2015-08-25 CVE-ID : CVE-2015-6251 Package : gnutls Type : denial of service Remote : Yes Link : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CVE Summary ======= The package gnutls before version 3.4.4.1-1 is vulnerable to remote denial of service. Resolution ========== Upgrade to 3.4.4.1-1. # pacman -Syu "gnutls>=3.4.4.1-1" The problem has been fixed upstream in version 3.4.4 and 3.3.17. Workaround ========== None. Description =========== Kurt Roeckx reported that decoding a specific certificate with very long DistinguishedName (DN) entries leads to double free, which may result to a denial of service. Since the DN decoding occurs in almost all applications using certificates it is recommended to upgrade the latest GnuTLS version fixing the issue. Impact ====== A remote attacker might be able to remotely crash a vulnerable application by supplying a crafted certificate with a very long DN.

Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-201508-7 ========================================= Severity: Low Date : 2015-08-16 CVE-ID : CVE-2014-8121 Package : glibc Type : denial of service Remote : Yes Link : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CVE Summary ======= The package glibc before version 2.22-1 is vulnerable to denial of service. Resolution ========== Upgrade to 2.22-1. # pacman -Syu "glibc>=2.22-1" The problem has been fixed upstream in version 2.22. Workaround ========== None. Description =========== It was found that the files backend of Name Service Switch (NSS) did not isolate iteration over an entire database from key-based look-up API calls. An application performing look-ups on a database while iterating over it could enter an infinite loop, leading to a denial of service. Impact ====== A remote attacker might be able to force a vulnerable application to enter an infinite loop, thus causing denial of service. References ========== https://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2014-8121 https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-02/msg00617.html https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1165192

[arch-security] [ASA-201508-6] freeradius: insufficient CRL validation
by Remi Gacogne 14 Aug '15

14 Aug '15

Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-201508-6 ========================================= Severity: Low Date : 2015-08-14 CVE-ID : CVE-2015-4680 Package : freeradius Type : insufficient CRL validation Remote : Yes Link : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CVE Summary ======= The package freeradius before version 3.0.9-1 is vulnerable to insufficient CRL validation. Resolution ========== Upgrade to 3.0.9-1. # pacman -Syu "freeradius>=3.0.9-1" The problem has been fixed upstream in version 3.0.9 and 2.2.8. Workaround ========== The FreeRADIUS project advises to use self-signed CAs without intermediate CAs for EAP-TLS, as only intermediate CAs are apparently vulnerable to this issue. Description =========== The FreeRADIUS server relies on OpenSSL to perform certificate validation, including Certificate Revocation List (CRL) checks. The FreeRADIUS usage of OpenSSL, in CRL application, limits the checks to leaf certificates, therefore not detecting revocation of intermediate CA certificates. An unexpired client certificate, issued by an intermediate CA with a revoked certificate, is therefore accepted by FreeRADIUS. Impact ====== A remote attacker might be able to authenticate using a certificate signed by a revoked intermediate CA.

[arch-security] [ASA-201508-5] subversion: authentication bypass
by Remi Gacogne 14 Aug '15

14 Aug '15

Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-201508-5 ========================================= Severity: Medium Date : 2015-08-14 CVE-ID : CVE-2015-3184 CVE-2015-3187 Package : subversion Type : authentication bypass Remote : Yes Link : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CVE Summary ======= The package subversion before version 1.9.0-1 is vulnerable to authentication bypass. Resolution ========== Upgrade to 1.9.0-1. # pacman -Syu "subversion>=1.9.0-1" The problem has been fixed upstream in version 1.9.0, 1.8.14 and 1.7.21. Workaround ========== CVE-2015-3184 can be mitigated by disabling mixed anonymous/authenticated authz. There is no known workaround for CVE-2015-3187. Description =========== - CVE-2015-3184: Subversion's mod_authz_svn does not properly restrict anonymous access in some mixed anonymous/authenticated environments when using Apache httpd 2.4. The result is that anonymous access may be possible to files for which only authenticated access should be possible. - CVE-2015-3187: Subversion servers, both httpd and svnserve, will reveal some paths that should be hidden by path-based authz. When a node is copied from an unreadable location to a readable location the unreadable path may be revealed. This vulnerability only reveals the path, it does not reveal the contents of the path. Impact ====== A remote unauthenticated attacker may be able to access files that should be restricted to authenticated user.

by Remi Gacogne 12 Aug '15

12 Aug '15

Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-201508-4 ========================================= Severity: Critical Date : 2015-08-12 CVE-ID : CVE-2015-4473 CVE-2015-4474 CVE-2015-4475 CVE-2015-4477 CVE-2015-4478 CVE-2015-4479 CVE-2015-4480 CVE-2015-4482 CVE-2015-4483 CVE-2015-4484 CVE-2015-4485 CVE-2015-4486 CVE-2015-4487 CVE-2015-4488 CVE-2015-4489 CVE-2015-4490 CVE-2015-4491 CVE-2015-4492 CVE-2015-4493 Package : firefox Type : multiple issues Remote : Yes Link : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CVE Summary ======= The package firefox before version 40.0-1 is vulnerable to multiple issues, up to remote code execution. Resolution ========== Upgrade to 40.0-1. # pacman -Syu "firefox>=40.0-1" The problem has been fixed upstream in version 40.0. Workaround ========== None. Description =========== - CVE-2015-4473 (Memory safety bugs fixed in Firefox ESR 38.2 and Firefox 40): Gary Kwong, Christian Holler, and Byron Campen reported memory safety problems and crashes that affect Firefox ESR 38.1 and Firefox 39. - CVE-2015-4474 (Memory safety bugs fixed in Firefox 40): Tyson Smith, Bobby Holley, Chris Coulson, Byron Campen, and Eric Rahm reported memory safety problems and crashes that affect Firefox 39. - CVE-2015-4475 (out of bounds read at mozilla::AudioSink): Security researcher Aki Helin used the Address Sanitizer tool to discover an out-of-bounds read during playback of a malformed MP3 format audio file which switches sample formats. This could trigger a potentially exploitable crash or the reading of out-of-bounds memory content in some circumstances. - CVE-2015-4477 (MediaStream use-after-free): Security researcher SkyLined reported a use-after-free issue in how audio is handled through the Web Audio API during MediaStream playback through interactions with the Web Audio API. This results in a potentially exploitable crash. - CVE-2015-4478 (JSON.parse with reviver allows redefining non-configurable properties): Security researcher André Bargull reported non-configurable properties on JavaScript objects can be redefined while parsing JSON in violation of the ECMAScript 6 standard. This allows malicious web content to bypass same-origin policy by editing these properties to arbitrary values. - CVE-2015-4479 (MPEG4 saio Chunk Integer Overflow (libstagefright)): An anonymous researcher reported, via TippingPoint's Zero Day Initiative, reported two integer overflows that could be triggered by a malicious 'saio' chunk in an MPEG4 video, leading to potential arbitrary code execution. This issue was independently reported by security researcher laf.intel. - CVE-2015-4480 (crash in [@ stagefright::SampleTable::isValid() ] with h264 mp4): Security researcher Massimiliano Tomassoli discovered an integer overflow issue when parsing an invalid MPEG4 video. - CVE-2015-4482 (Out of bounds write in mar_read.c): Security researcher Holger Fuhrmannek reported that if the Updater opens a MAR format file with a specially crafted name, an out-of-bounds write will occur. This can lead to a potentially exploitable crash but requires that the malicious MAR format file be present on the local system and the Updater to be run to use it. - CVE-2015-4483 (feed: protocol + POST method => mixed scripting): Security researcher Masato Kinugawa reported that opening a target page using a POST to the url prefixed with the feed: protocol disables the mixed content blocker for that page. This could allow for the risk of a man-in-the-middle (MITM) scripting attack on pages that accidentally include insecure content which would otherwise be blocked. - CVE-2015-4484 (crash in void js::jit::AssemblerX86Shared::lock_addl<js::jit::Imm32>): Security researcher Jukka Jylänki reported a crash that occurs because JavaScript, when using shared memory, does not properly gate access to Atomics or SharedArrayBuffer views in some contexts. This leads to a non-exploitable crash. - CVE-2015-4485 (Heap-buffer-overflow WRITE in resize_context_buffers), - CVE-2015-4486 (Out of bounds read in decrease_ref_count): Security researcher Abhishek Arya (Inferno) of the Google Chrome Security Team used the Address Sanitizer tool to discover two buffer overflow issues in the Libvpx library used for WebM video when decoding a malformed WebM video file. These buffer overflows result in potentially exploitable crashes. - CVE-2015-4487 (Overflow nsTSubstring::ReplacePrep causes memory-safety bugs in string library), - CVE-2015-4488 (StyleAnimationValue::operator= uses objects after delete on self-assignment), - CVE-2015-4489 (Self-assignment in nsTArray_Impl causes memory-safety bug): Security researcher Ronald Crane reported three vulnerabilities affecting released code that were found through code inspection. These included one use of unowned memory, one use of a deleted object, and one memory safety bug. These do not all have clear mechanisms to be exploited through web content but are vulnerable if a mechanism can be found to trigger them. - CVE-2015-4490 (Mozilla Content Security Policy allows for asterisk wildcards in violation of CSP specification): Mozilla security engineer Christoph Kerschbaumer reported a discrepancy in Mozilla's implementation of Content Security Policy and the CSP specification. The specification states that blob:, data:, and filesystem: URLs should be excluded in case of a wildcard when matching source expressions but Mozilla's implementation allows these in the case of an asterisk wildcard. This could allow for more permissive CSP usage than expected by a web developer, possibly allowing for cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. - CVE-2015-4491 (gdk-pixbuf heap overflow and DoS affecting Firefox): Security researcher Gustavo Grieco reported a heap overflow in gdk-pixbuf affecting Linux systems using Gnome. This issue is triggered by the scaling of a malformed bitmap format image and results in a potentially exploitable crash. - CVE-2015-4492 (Use-after-free in XMLHttpRequest with shared workers): Security researcher Looben Yang discovered a use-after-free vulnerability when recursively calling .open() on an XMLHttpRequest in a SharedWorker. - CVE-2015-4493 (Stagefright: heap-buffer-overflow crash [@stagefright::ESDS::parseESDescriptor]): Mozilla security engineer Tyson Smith used the Address Sanitizer to find a buffer overflow when parsing an MPEG4 video with an invalid size in an ESDS chunk lead to memory corruption. Impact ====== A remote attacker can execute arbitrary code on the affected host.

[arch-security] [ASA-201508-1] firefox: local file stealing via PDF reader
by Remi Gacogne 07 Aug '15

07 Aug '15

Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-201508-1 ========================================= Severity: Critical Date : 2015-08-07 CVE-ID : CVE-2015-4495 Package : firefox Type : information leakage Remote : Yes Link : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CVE Summary ======= The package firefox before version 39.0.3-1 is vulnerable to local file stealing. Resolution ========== Upgrade to 39.0.3-1. # pacman -Syu "firefox>=39.0.3-1" The problem has been fixed upstream in version 39.0.3. Workaround ========== This issue can be mitigated by disabling the built-in PDF viewer, PDF.js. This can be done by typing about:config in the address bar, pressing Enter, looking for the pdfjs.disabled value and setting it to True by right-clicking on the line and left-clicking "Toggle". Note that accessing the about:config page might trigger a "This might void your warranty!" warning, easily dismissed by clicking on the "I'll be careful, I promise!" button. Description =========== Security researcher Cody Crews reported on a way to violate the same origin policy and inject script into a non-privileged part of the built-in PDF Viewer. This would allow an attacker to read and steal sensitive local files on the victim's computer. Mozilla has received reports that an exploit based on this vulnerability has been found in the wild. Impact ====== A remote attacker can craft a malicious web page stealing arbitrary files from the host running firefox. Mozilla reports that this flaw is already exploited in the wild. At least one exploit is targeting Linux and reads /etc/passwd, then in all the user directories it can access looks for .bash_history, .mysql_history, .pgsql_history, .ssh configuration files and keys, configuration files for remina, Filezilla, and Psi+, text files with “pass” and “access” in the names, and any shell scripts.

[arch-security] [ASA-201507-23] pacman: silent downgrade
by Levente Polyak 29 Jul '15

29 Jul '15

Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-201507-23 ========================================== Severity: High Date : 2015-07-29 CVE-ID : None Package : pacman Type : silent downgrade Remote : Yes Link : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CVE Summary ======= The package pacman before version 4.2.1-2 is vulnerable to silent downgrade via a man-in-the-middle attack. Resolution ========== Upgrade to 4.2.1-2. # pacman -Syu "pacman>=4.2.1-2" The problem has been fixed upstream but no release is available yet. Workaround ========== None. Description =========== A flaw has been discovered in pacman that is leading to possible silent package downgrade when exploited. While loading each package it was not ensured that the internal version matches the expected database version, leading to the possibility to circumvent the version check. This issue can be used by an attacker to trick the software into installing an older version. This behavior can be exploited by a man-in-the-middle attack through specially crafted database tarball containing a higher version, yet actually delivering an older and vulnerable version, which was previously shipped. Impact ====== A remote attacker able to perform a man-in-the-middle attack is able to make use of a specially crafted database tarball to silently install an older and vulnerable version of a previously shipped package.
