Tripal BLAST UI – Highly Critical – Remote Code Execution – SA-CONTRIB-2016-054
- Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2016-054
- Project: Tripal BLAST UI (third-party module)
- Version: 7.x
- Date: 2016-October-26
- Security risk: 20/25 ( Highly Critical) AC:Basic/A:None/CI:All/II:All/E:Theoretical/TD:All
- Vulnerability: Remote code execution
Description
This module enables you to run NCBI BLAST jobs on the host system.
The module doesn’t sufficiently validate advanced options available to users submitting BLAST jobs, thereby exposing the ability to enter a short snippet of shell code that will be executed when the BLAST job is run.
This vulnerability only requires the attacker to have minimal permissions on the site (for example, “View published content”) and therefore can be exploited by untrusted or unauthenticated users in most cases.
CVE identifier(s) issued
- A CVE identifier will be requested, and added upon issuance, in accordance with Drupal Security Team processes.
Versions affected
- Tripal BLAST UI 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.2
Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Tripal BLAST UI module, there is nothing you need to do.
Solution
Install the latest version:
- If you use the Tripal BLAST UI module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Tripal BLAST UI 7.x-1.2
Also see the Tripal BLAST UI project page.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2016-2107-01
Red Hat Security Advisory 2016-2107-01 – The kernel-rt packages provide the Real Time Linux Kernel, which enables fine-tuning for systems with extremely high determinism requirements. Security Fix: A race condition was found in the way the Linux kernel’s memory subsystem handled the copy-on-write breakage of private read-only memory mappings. An unprivileged, local user could use this flaw to gain write access to otherwise read-only memory mappings and thus increase their privileges on the system.
