-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 _______________________________________________________________________ Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2015:145 http://www.mandriva.com/en/support/security/ _______________________________________________________________________ Package : libxfont Date : March 29, 2015 Affected: Business Server 2.0 _______________________________________________________________________ Problem Description: Updated libxfont packages fix security vulnerabilities: Ilja van Sprundel discovered that libXfont incorrectly handled font metadata file parsing. A local attacker could use this issue to cause libXfont to crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code in order to gain privileges (CVE-2014-0209). Ilja van Sprundel discovered that libXfont incorrectly handled X Font Server replies. A malicious font server could return specially-crafted data that could cause libXfont to crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code (CVE-2014-0210, CVE-2014-0211). The bdf parser reads a count for the number of properties defined in a font from the font file, and allocates arrays with entries for each property based on that count. It never checked to see if that count was negative, or large enough to overflow when multiplied by the size of the structures being allocated, and could thus allocate the wrong buffer size, leading to out of bounds writes (CVE-2015-1802). If the bdf parser failed to parse the data for the bitmap for any character, it would proceed with an invalid pointer to the bitmap data and later crash when trying to read the bitmap from that pointer (CVE-2015-1803). The bdf parser read metrics values as 32-bit integers, but stored them into 16-bit integers. Overflows could occur in various operations leading to out-of-bounds memory access (CVE-2015-1804). _______________________________________________________________________ References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-0209 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-0210 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-0211 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2015-1802 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2015-1803 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2015-1804 http://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2014-0278.html http://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2015-0113.html _______________________________________________________________________ Updated Packages: Mandriva Business Server 2/X86_64: 5bb4cda12b7ad25294e04e421142720d mbs2/x86_64/lib64xfont1-1.4.7-2.2.mbs2.x86_64.rpm ce3365a2c8a0187f21542ce02c34909d mbs2/x86_64/lib64xfont-devel-1.4.7-2.2.mbs2.x86_64.rpm 44c27c9ceda4091972c75c148e9250d3 mbs2/SRPMS/libxfont-1.4.7-2.2.mbs2.src.rpm _______________________________________________________________________ To upgrade automatically use MandrivaUpdate or urpmi.
