Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2015-027

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2015-027 – Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in the Linux kernel. The SCTP implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.17.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by triggering a large number of chunks in an association’s output queue, as demonstrated by ASCONF probes, related to net/sctp/inqueue.c and net/sctp/sm_statefuns.c. Various other issues have also been addressed. The updated packages provides a solution for these security issues.

CVE-2014-9602

libavcodec/xface.h in FFmpeg before 2.5.2 establishes certain digits and words array dimensions that do not satisfy a required mathematical relationship, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds array access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted X-Face image data.

CVE-2014-9603

The vmd_decode function in libavcodec/vmdvideo.c in FFmpeg before 2.5.2 does not validate the relationship between a certain length value and the frame width, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds array access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted Sierra VMD video data.

CVE-2014-9604

libavcodec/utvideodec.c in FFmpeg before 2.5.2 does not check for a zero value of a slice height, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds array access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted Ut Video data, related to the (1) restore_median and (2) restore_median_il functions.
