Frugalware Security Announcements (FSAs)

This is a list of security announcments that have been released for the current stable version of Frugalware

unzip

  • Author: kikadf
  • Vulnerable: 6.0-2
  • Unaffected: 6.0-3arcturus1

Michele Spagnuolo of the Google Security Team discovered that unzip, an extraction utility for archives compressed in .zip format, is affected by heap-based buffer overflows within the CRC32 verification function (CVE-2014-8139), the test_compr_eb() function (CVE-2014-8140) and the getZip64Data() function (CVE-2014-8141), which may lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

CVEs:

ntp

  • Author: kikadf
  • Vulnerable: 4.2.6p5-3arcturus1
  • Unaffected: 4.2.6p5-3arcturus2

ntpd generated a weak key for its internal use, with full administrative privileges. The ntp-keygen utility generated weak MD5 keys with insufficient entropy. ntpd had several buffer overflows (both on the stack and in the data section), allowing remote authenticated attackers to crash ntpd or potentially execute arbitrary code. The general packet processing function in ntpd did not handle an error case correctly.

CVEs:

mediawiki

  • Author: kikadf
  • Vulnerable: 1.19.20-1arcturus1
  • Unaffected: 1.19.22-1arcturus1

A flaw was discovered in mediawiki, a wiki engine: cross-domain-policy mangling allows an article editor to inject code into API consumers that deserialize PHP representations of the page from the API.
