[SECURITY] Fedora 30 Update: kernel-headers-5.5.16-100.fc30

Kernel-headers includes the C header files that specify the interface between the Linux kernel and userspace libraries and programs. The header files define structures and constants that are needed for building most standard programs and are also needed for rebuilding the glibc package...

EulerOS 2.0 SP3 : glibc (EulerOS-SA-2020-1388)

According to the versions of the glibc packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities : - In the GNU C Library aka glibc or libc6 through 2.29, checkdstlimitscalcpos1 in posix/regexec.c has Uncontrolled Recursion, as demonstrated by...

Arbitrary Code Execution

glibc is vulnerable to arbitrary code execution. An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in the way the glibc library loaded ELF Executable and Linking Format files. If a carefully-crafted ELF file was loaded by an application linked against glibc, it could...

Arbitrary Code Execution

glibc is vulnerable to arbitrary code execution. An integer overflow flaw was found in the implementation of the printf functions family. This could allow an attacker to bypass FORTIFYSOURCE protections and execute arbitrary code using a format string flaw in an application, even though these...

Denial Of Service (DoS)

glibc is vulnerable to denial of service. A denial of service flaw was found in the remote procedure call RPC implementation in glibc. A remote attacker able to open a large number of connections to an RPC service that is using the RPC implementation from glibc, could use this flaw to make that...

Arbitrary Code Execution

glibc is vulnerable to arbitrary code execution. An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in the way the glibc library read timezone files. If a carefully-crafted timezone file was loaded by an application linked against glibc, it could cause the application to...

Denial Of Service (DoS)

glibc is vulnerable to denial of service. It was found that the glibc addmntent function, used by various mount helper utilities, did not handle certain errors correctly when updating the mtab mounted file systems table file. If such utilities had the setuid bit set, a local attacker could use th...

Privilege Escalation

glibc is vulnerable to privilege escalation. A flaw was found in the way the ldd utility identified dynamically linked libraries. If an attacker could trick a user into running ldd on a malicious binary, it could result in arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user running ldd...

Privilege Escalation

glibc is vulnerable to privilege escalation. A local user is able to gain privileges by creating a hard link in an arbitrary directory to a setuid program...

Denial Of Service (DoS)

glibc is vulnerable to denial of service. An integer overflow in posix/fnmatch.c allows an attacker to crash the application via a malicious long UTF8 string...

Privilege Escalation

glibc is vulnerable to privilege escalation. It was discovered that the locale command did not produce properly escaped output as required by the POSIX specification. If an attacker were able to set the locale environment variables in the environment of a script that performed shell evaluation on...

Arbitrary Code Execution

glibc is vulnerable to arbitrary code execution. It was discovered that the glibc fnmatch function did not properly restrict the use of alloca. If the function was called on sufficiently large inputs, it could cause an application using fnmatch to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with t...

Privilege Escalation

glibc is vulnerable to privilege escalation. It was discovered that the glibc addmntent function did not sanitize its input properly. A local attacker could possibly use this flaw to inject malformed lines into /etc/mtab via certain setuid mount helpers, if the attacker were allowed to mount to a...

Privilege Escalation

glibc is vulnerable to privilege escalation. The fix for CVE-2010-3847 introduced a regression in the way the dynamic loader expanded the $ORIGIN dynamic string token specified in the RPATH and RUNPATH entries in the ELF library header. A local attacker could use this flaw to escalate their...

Denial Of Service (DoS)

glibc is vulnerable to privilege escalation. It was discovered that the glibc dynamic linker/loader did not handle the $ORIGIN dynamic string token set in the LDAUDIT environment variable securely. A local attacker with write access to a file system containing setuid or setgid binaries could use...

Privilege Escalation

glibc is vulnerable to privilege escalation. The vulnerability exists as it was discovered that the glibc dynamic linker/loader did not perform sufficient safety checks when loading dynamic shared objects DSOs to provide callbacks for its auditing API during the execution of privileged programs. ...

Fedora 30 : glibc (2020-7f625c5ea8)

This update incorporates fixes from the upstream glibc 2.29 stable release branch, including 3 fixes for medium severity security vulnerabilities. CVE-2020-10029, CVE-2020-1752, CVE-2020-1751 Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora...
