CVE-2020-24240

GNU Bison before 3.7.1 has a use-after-free in obstackfree in lib/obstack.c called from gramlex when a '\0' byte is encountered. NOTE: there is a risk only if Bison is used with untrusted input, and the observed bug happens to cause unsafe behavior with a specific compiler/architecture. The bug...

GNU Bison Post-Release Reuse Vulnerability

GNU Bison is free software for the automatic generation of syntax parser programs. A post-release reuse vulnerability exists in GNU Bison 3.7. A local attacker can cause a system crash by exploiting this vulnerability via a specially crafted input file containing NULL bytes...

Amazon Linux 2 : gettext (ALAS-2020-1477)

The version of gettext installed on the remote host is prior to 0.19.8.1-3. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2020-1477 advisory. An issue was discovered in GNU gettext 0.19.8. There is a double free in defaultaddmessage in read- catalog.c, related to an...

CVE-2020-24240

CVE-2020-24240 concerns GNU Bison before 3.7.1, which contains a use-after-free in _obstack_free (lib/obstack.c) when a NULL byte is encountered during gram_lex. The risk is limited to cases where Bison processes untrusted input, and the observed behavior was primarily a crash in Bison itself, no...

SecGen - Create Randomly Insecure VMs

SecGen creates vulnerable virtual machines, lab environments, and hacking challenges, so students can learn security penetration testing techniques. Boxes like Metasploitable2 are always the same, this project uses Vagrant, Puppet, and Ruby to create randomly vulnerable virtual machines that can ...

In GNU patch through 2.7.6 the following of symlinks is mishandled in certain cases other than input files. This affects inp.c and util.c.

...

An issue was discovered in GNU libiberty as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.32. simple_object_elf_match in simple-object-elf.c does not check for a zero shstrndx value leading to an integer overflow and resultant heap-based buffer overflow.

...

A use-after-free vulnerability introduced in glibc upstream version 2.14 was found in the way the tilde expansion was carried out. Directory paths containing an initial tilde followed by a valid username were affected by this issue. A local attacker could exploit this flaw by creating a specially crafted path that when processed by the glob function would potentially lead to arbitrary code execution. This was fixed in version 2.32.

...

The GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.32 could overflow an on-stack buffer during range reduction if an input to an 80-bit long double function contains a non-canonical bit pattern a seen when passing a 0x5d414141414141410000 value to sinl on x86 targets. This is related to sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-96/e_rem_pio2l.c.

An issue was discovered in disable_priv_mode in shell.c in GNU Bash through 5.0 patch 11. By default if Bash is run with its effective UID not equal to its real UID it will drop privileges by setting its effective UID to its real UID. However it does so incorrectly. On Linux and other systems that support "saved UID" functionality the saved UID is not dropped. An attacker with command execution in the shell can use "enable -f" for runtime loading of a new builtin which can be a shared object that calls setuid() and therefore regains privileges. However binaries running with an effective UID of 0 are unaffected.

...

An issue was discovered in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd) as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.32. It is an integer overflow leading to a SEGV in _bfd_dwarf2_find_nearest_line in dwarf2.c as demonstrated by nm.
