Description

This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.


1) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2015-7547)

CWE-ID: CWE-121 - Stack-based buffer overflow

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Amber


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The weakness exists due to stack-based buffer overflow in in the (1) send_dg and (2) send_vc functions in the libresolv library. A remote attacker can use a crafted DNS response that triggers a call to the getaddrinfo function with the AF_UNSPEC or AF_INET6 address family, related to performing "dual A/AAAA DNS queries" and the libnss_dns.so.2 NSS module, cause memory corruption and execute arbitrary code.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.

2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2015-8776)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber


The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to read data or crash the application.

The strftime function in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.23 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly obtain sensitive information via an out-of-range time value.


3) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2015-8777)

CWE-ID: CWE-254 - Security Features

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to manipulate data.

The process_envvars function in elf/rtld.c in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.23 allows local users to bypass a pointer-guarding protection mechanism via a zero value of the LD_POINTER_GUARD environment variable.
