This update for libxkbcommon to version 0.8.2 fixes the following issues:

  • Fix a few NULL-dereferences, out-of-bounds access and undefined behavior
    in the XKB text format parser.
  • CVE-2018-15853: Endless recursion could have been used by local
    attackers to crash xkbcommon users by supplying a crafted keymap file
    that triggers boolean negation (bsc#1105832).
  • CVE-2018-15854: Unchecked NULL pointer usage could have been used by
    local attackers to crash (NULL pointer dereference) the xkbcommon parser
    by supplying a crafted keymap file, because geometry tokens were
    desupported incorrectly (bsc#1105832).
  • CVE-2018-15855: Unchecked NULL pointer usage could have been used by
    local attackers to crash (NULL pointer dereference) the xkbcommon parser
    by supplying a crafted keymap file, because the XkbFile for an
    xkb_geometry section was mishandled (bsc#1105832).
  • CVE-2018-15856: An infinite loop when reaching EOL unexpectedly could be
    used by local attackers to cause a denial of service during parsing of
    crafted keymap files (bsc#1105832).
  • CVE-2018-15857: An invalid free in ExprAppendMultiKeysymList could have
    been used by local attackers to crash xkbcommon keymap parsers or
    possibly have unspecified other impact by supplying a crafted keymap
    file (bsc#1105832).
  • CVE-2018-15858: Unchecked NULL pointer usage when handling invalid
    aliases in CopyKeyAliasesToKeymap could have been used by local
    attackers to crash (NULL pointer dereference) the xkbcommon parser by
    supplying a crafted keymap file (bsc#1105832).
  • CVE-2018-15859: Unchecked NULL pointer usage when parsing invalid atoms
    in ExprResolveLhs could have been used by local attackers to crash (NULL
    pointer dereference) the xkbcommon parser by supplying a crafted keymap
    file, because lookup failures are mishandled (bsc#1105832).
  • CVE-2018-15861: Unchecked NULL pointer usage in ExprResolveLhs could
    have been used by local attackers to crash (NULL pointer dereference)
    the xkbcommon parser by supplying a crafted keymap file that triggers an
    xkb_intern_atom failure (bsc#1105832).
  • CVE-2018-15862: Unchecked NULL pointer usage in LookupModMask could have
    been used by local attackers to crash (NULL pointer dereference) the
    xkbcommon parser by supplying a crafted keymap file with invalid virtual
    modifiers (bsc#1105832).
  • CVE-2018-15863: Unchecked NULL pointer usage in ResolveStateAndPredicate
    could have been used by local attackers to crash (NULL pointer
    dereference) the xkbcommon parser by supplying a crafted keymap file
    with a no-op modmask expression (bsc#1105832).
  • CVE-2018-15864: Unchecked NULL pointer usage in resolve_keysym could
    have been used by local attackers to crash (NULL pointer dereference)
    the xkbcommon parser by supplying a crafted keymap file, because a map
    access attempt can
    occur for a map that was never created (bsc#1105832).
