Package : lib32-libtasn1
Type : arbitrary code execution
Remote : No
Link : https://security.archlinux.org/AVG-286
Summary
=======
The package lib32-libtasn1 before version 4.11-1 is vulnerable to
arbitrary code execution.
Resolution
==========
Upgrade to 4.11-1.
# pacman -Syu "lib32-libtasn1>=4.11-1"

Workaround
==========
None.
Description
===========
Two errors in the "asn1_find_node()" function (lib/parser_aux.c) within
GnuTLS libtasn1 version 4.10 can be exploited to cause a stacked-based
buffer overflow by tricking a user into processing a specially crafted
assignments file via the e.g. asn1Coding utility.
Impact
======
An attacker can execute arbitrary code on the affected host by tricking
a local user into processing a specially crafted assignments file.
