[slackware-security] openexr

New openexr packages are available for Slackware 14.2 and -current to fix security issues. Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog: patches/packages/openexr-2.2.0-i586-2slack14.2.txz: Rebuilt. Patched bugs that may lead to program crashes or possibly execution of arbitrary code...

CVE-2017-9047

A buffer overflow was discovered in libxml2 20904-GITv2.9.4-16-g0741801. The function xmlSnprintfElementContent in valid.c is supposed to recursively dump the element content definition into a char buffer 'buf' of size 'size'. The variable len is assigned strlenbuf. If the content-type is...

CVE-2017-9050

libxml2 20904-GITv2.9.4-16-g0741801 is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer over-read in the xmlDictAddString function in dict.c. This vulnerability causes programs that use libxml2, such as PHP, to crash. This vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2016-1839...

CVE-2017-8397

The Binary File Descriptor BFD library aka libbfd, as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.28, is vulnerable to an invalid read of size 1 and an invalid write of size 1 during processing of a corrupt binary containing relocs with negative addresses. This vulnerability causes programs that conduct an...

Design/Logic Flaw

The Binary File Descriptor BFD library aka libbfd, as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.28, is vulnerable to an invalid read of size 1 because the existing reloc offset range tests didn't catch small negative offsets less than the size of the reloc field. This vulnerability causes programs that condu...

CVE-2017-8392

The Binary File Descriptor BFD library aka libbfd, as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.28, is vulnerable to an invalid read of size 8 because of missing a check to determine whether symbols are NULL in the bfddwarf2findnearestline function. This vulnerability causes programs that conduct an analysis...

CVE-2017-6969

readelf in GNU Binutils 2.28 is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer over-read while processing corrupt RL78 binaries. The vulnerability can trigger program crashes. It may lead to an information leak as well...

CVE-2017-7226

The peILFobjectp function in the Binary File Descriptor BFD library aka libbfd, as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.28, is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer over-read of size 4049 because it uses the strlen function instead of strnlen, leading to program crashes in several utilities such as addr2lin...
