  • n/openldap-client-2.4.45-arm-1.txz
  • n/samba-4.7.3-arm-1.txz
    This is a security release in order to address the following defects:
    CVE-2017-14746 (Use-after-free vulnerability.)
    All versions of Samba from 4.0.0 onwards are vulnerable to a use after
    free vulnerability, where a malicious SMB1 request can be used to
    control the contents of heap memory via a deallocated heap pointer. It
    is possible this may be used to compromise the SMB server.
    CVE-2017-15275 (Server heap memory information leak.)
    All versions of Samba from 3.6.0 onwards are vulnerable to a heap
    memory information leak, where server allocated heap memory may be
    returned to the client without being cleared.
    For more information, see:
    https://www.samba.org/samba/security/CVE-2017-14746.html

    (* Security fix *)
  • x/libXcursor-1.1.15-arm-1.txz
    Fix heap overflows when parsing malicious files. (CVE-2017-16612)
    It is possible to trigger heap overflows due to an integer overflow
    while parsing images and a signedness issue while parsing comments.
    The integer overflow occurs because the chosen limit 0x10000 for
    dimensions is too large for 32 bit systems, because each pixel takes
    4 bytes. Properly chosen values allow an overflow which in turn will
    lead to less allocated memory than needed for subsequent reads.
    The signedness bug is triggered by reading the length of a comment
    as unsigned int, but casting it to int when calling the function
    XcursorCommentCreate. Turning length into a negative value allows the
    check against XCURSOR_COMMENT_MAX_LEN to pass, and the following
    addition of sizeof (XcursorComment) + 1 makes it possible to allocate
    less memory than needed for subsequent reads.

    (* Security fix *)
  • x/libXfont2-2.0.3-arm-1.txz
    Open files with O_NOFOLLOW. (CVE-2017-16611)
    A non-privileged X client can instruct X server running under root
    to open any file by creating own directory with “fonts.dir”,
    “fonts.alias” or any font file being a symbolic link to any other
    file in the system. X server will then open it. This can be issue
    with special files such as /dev/watchdog (which could then reboot
    the system).
