Mandriva Security Advisory

MDVSA-2015:030: bugzilla

Updated bugzilla packages fix security vulnerability:

Some code in Bugzilla does not properly utilize 3 arguments form
for open() and it is possible for an account with editcomponents
permissions to inject commands into product names and other attributes
(CVE-2014-8630).

MDVSA-2015:031: busybox

Updated busybox packages fix security vulnerability:

The modprobe command in busybox before 1.23.0 uses the basename of
the module argument as the module to load, allowing arbitrary modules,
even when some kernel subsystems try to prevent this (CVE-2014-9645).

MDVSA-2015:032: php

Multiple vulnerabilities has been discovered and corrected in php:

sapi/cgi/cgi_main.c in the CGI component in PHP through 5.4.36, 5.5.x
through 5.5.20, and 5.6.x through 5.6.4, when mmap is used to read
a .php file, does not properly consider the mapping’s length during
processing of an invalid file that begins with a # character and lacks
a newline character, which causes an out-of-bounds read and might (1)
allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information from php-cgi
process memory by leveraging the ability to upload a .php file or (2)
trigger unexpected code execution if a valid PHP script is present
in memory locations adjacent to the mapping (CVE-2014-9427).

Use-after-free vulnerability in the process_nested_data function in
ext/standard/var_unserializer.re in PHP before 5.4.37, 5.5.x before
5.5.21, and 5.6.x before 5.6.5 allows remote attackers to execute
arbitrary code via a crafted unserialize call that leverages improper
handling of duplicate numerical keys within the serialized properties
of an object. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete
fix for CVE-2014-8142 (CVE-2015-0231).

The exif_process_unicode function in ext/exif/exif.c in PHP before
5.4.37, 5.5.x before 5.5.21, and 5.6.x before 5.6.5 allows remote
attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service
(uninitialized pointer free and application crash) via crafted EXIF
data in a JPEG image (CVE-2015-0232).

The updated php packages have been upgraded to the 5.5.21 version
which is not vulnerable to these issues.

Additionally, the timezonedb package has been upgraded to the latest
2015.1 version, the php-suhosin package has been upgraded to the
latest 0.9.37.1 and the PECL packages which requires so has been
rebuilt for php-5.5.21.

MDVSA-2015:028: aircrack-ng

Updated aircrack-ng package fixes security vulnerabilities:

A length parameter inconsistency in Aircrack-ng before 1.2-rc1
at aireplay tcp_test() which may lead to remote code execution
(CVE-2014-8322).

A missing check for data format in Aircrack-ng before 1.2-rc1 at
buddy-ng which may lead to denial of service (CVE-2014-8323).

A missing check for invalid values in Aircrack-ng before 1.2-rc1
at airserv-ng net_get() which may lead to denial of service
(CVE-2014-8324).

MDVSA-2015:033: java-1.7.0-openjdk

Updated java-1.7.0 packages fix security vulnerabilities:

A flaw was found in the way the Hotspot component in OpenJDK verified
bytecode from the class files. An untrusted Java application or applet
could possibly use this flaw to bypass Java sandbox restrictions
(CVE-2014-6601).

Multiple improper permission check issues were discovered in the
JAX-WS, and RMI components in OpenJDK. An untrusted Java application
or applet could use these flaws to bypass Java sandbox restrictions
(CVE-2015-0412, CVE-2015-0408).

A flaw was found in the way the Hotspot garbage collector handled
phantom references. An untrusted Java application or applet could
use this flaw to corrupt the Java Virtual Machine memory and,
possibly, execute arbitrary code, bypassing Java sandbox restrictions
(CVE-2015-0395).

A flaw was found in the way the DER (Distinguished Encoding Rules)
decoder in the Security component in OpenJDK handled negative length
values. A specially crafted, DER-encoded input could cause a Java
application to enter an infinite loop when decoded (CVE-2015-0410).

It was discovered that the SSL/TLS implementation in the JSSE component
in OpenJDK failed to properly check whether the ChangeCipherSpec was
received during the SSL/TLS connection handshake. An MITM attacker
could possibly use this flaw to force a connection to be established
without encryption being enabled (CVE-2014-6593).

An information leak flaw was found in the Swing component in
OpenJDK. An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw
to bypass certain Java sandbox restrictions (CVE-2015-0407).

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the MulticastSocket
implementation in the Libraries component of OpenJDK. An untrusted
Java application or applet could possibly use this flaw to bypass
certain Java sandbox restrictions (CVE-2014-6587).

Multiple boundary check flaws were found in the font parsing code
in the 2D component in OpenJDK. A specially crafted font file could
allow an untrusted Java application or applet to disclose portions
of the Java Virtual Machine memory (CVE-2014-6585, CVE-2014-6591).

Multiple insecure temporary file use issues were found in the way the
Hotspot component in OpenJDK created performance statistics and error
log files. A local attacker could possibly make a victim using OpenJDK
overwrite arbitrary files using a symlink attack (CVE-2015-0383).

Note: This update disables SSL 3.0 by default to mitigate the POODLE
issue, also known as CVE-2014-3566. The jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms
security property can be used to re-enable SSL 3.0 support if
needed. For additional information, refer to the Red Hat Bugzilla
bug linked to in the References section.

MDVSA-2015:034: jasper

Updated jasper packages fix security vulnerabilities:

An off-by-one flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found
in the way JasPer decoded JPEG 2000 image files. A specially crafted
file could cause an application using JasPer to crash or, possibly,
execute arbitrary code (CVE-2014-8157).

An unrestricted stack memory use flaw was found in the way JasPer
decoded JPEG 2000 image files. A specially crafted file could cause
an application using JasPer to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary
code (CVE-2014-8158).

MDVSA-2015:035: libvirt

Updated libvirt packages fix security vulnerability:

The XML getters for for save images and snapshots objects don’t
check ACLs for the VIR_DOMAIN_XML_SECURE flag and might possibly dump
security sensitive information. A remote attacker able to establish
a connection to libvirtd could use this flaw to cause leak certain
limited information from the domain xml file (CVE-2015-0236).
