LANG and LC were cargo-culted in as they are honoured by OpenSSHd. Separately note that I didn't check the BSDs telnet client (which I think is still present in all BSDs) for being (hopefully not) willing And you could want to check the telnet client in InetUtils, now that we know this package missed telnet[d] security fixes in general. This was CVE-2005-0488 (and CVE-2005-1205 on Windows).

"Certain BSD-based Telnet clients, including those used on Solaris and SuSE Linux, allow remote malicious Telnet servers to read sensitive command."

The daemon now clears the inherited environment (preserving PATH and TERM, respectively, if present) before calling telnetdsetup(). LDPRELOAD=/lib64/libhardenedmalloc.so (although /etc/ld.so.preload is a more reliable way to do this when practical to do it globally).

Some code duplication here. Not new with these changes, but could be worth moving to a new function e.g. setenvvarifallowed(). Agreed. I'll implement setenvvarifallowed() instead. +/ A default whitelist for environment variables. / +static const char allowedenvvars[] = { + "USER", + "LOGNAME", + "TERM", + "LANG", + "LC", + NULL +};

Can make not only the strings but also the pointers const:

static const char const allowedenvvars[] = {

so that both may end up in a read-only section. OK, .rodata it is. +int +isenvvarallowed (const char var, const char val) +{ + const char p; + int allowed = 0; + + for (p = allowedenvvars; p; p++) + { + if (fnmatch (p, var, FNMNOESCAPE) == 0) + { + allowed = 1; + break; + } + } + + if (!allowed) + return 0;

You didn't strictly need the "allowed" variable, you could check p after the loop. But maybe it's more readable the way you wrote it. I'll keep "allowed" for the time being, but I don't mind changing it if there's a clearer way to express this logic. My review above isn't in full context - I only looked at the patches.

A vulnerability was found in a way libxml2 parses certain files. With the libxml2 in recovery mode, a maliciously crafted filed could cause libxml2 to crash.

A vulnerability exists where the caret ("^") character is improperly escaped constructing some URIs due to it being used as a separator, allowing for possible spoofing of origin attributes.

Mozilla developers and community members Andreea Pavel, Christian Holler, Honza Bambas, Jason Kratzer, and Jeff Gilbert reported memory safety bugs fixed in Firefox 68, Firefox ESR 60.8, and Thunderbird 68. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort that some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code.

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the browser engine in Mozilla Firefox before 47.0 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors.

A flaw was found in ruby, where the date object was found to be vulnerable to a regular expression denial of service (ReDoS) during the parsing of dates. This flaw allows an attacker to hang a ruby application by providing a specially crafted date string. The highest threat to this vulnerability is system availability.

A security Bypass vulnerability exists in the FcgidPassHeader Proxy in modfcgid through 2016-07-07.

The verify function in the RSA package for Python (Python-RSA) before 3.3 allows attackers to spoof signatures with a small public exponent via crafted signature padding, aka a BERserk attack.

A flaw was found in dpdk in versions before 18.11.10 and before 19.11.5. A lack of bounds checking when copying ivdata from the VM guest memory into host memory can lead to a large buffer overflow. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.

A flaw was found in the way haproxy processed certain HTTP/2 request packets. An attacker could send crafted HTTP/2 request packets which cause memory corruption, leading to a crash or potential remote arbitrary code execution with the permissions of the user running haproxy.

ImageMagick 7.0.1-0 to 7.0.8-54 Q16 allows Division by Zero in RemoveDuplicateLayers in MagickCore/layer.c.

An issue was discovered in buttonopen in login/logind-button.c in systemd before 243. When executing the udevadm trigger command, a memory leak may occur.

A resource consumption vulnerability was found in nghttp2. This flaw allows an attacker to repeatedly construct an overly large HTTP/2 SETTINGS frame with a length of 14,400 bytes that causes excessive CPU usage, leading to a denial of service.

An unspecified vulnerability in Java SE related to the Libraries component could allow an unauthenticated attacker to cause no confidentiality impact, low integrity impact, and no availability impact.

js/getscripts.js.php in phpMyAdmin 4.0.x before 4.0.10.16, 4.4.x before 4.4.15.7, and 4.6.x before 4.6.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a large array in the scripts parameter.

A deserialization of untrusted data vulnernerability exists in rails < 5.2.4.3, rails < 6.0.3.1 that can allow an attacker to unmarshal user-provided objects in MemCacheStore and RedisCacheStore potentially resulting in an RCE.

NTP is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an issue when relying on unauthenticated IPv4 time sources in ntpd. By predicting transmit timestamps for use in spoofed packets, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the daemon to crash or system time change.

A vulnerability was found in NTP. A security issue which enables an off-path attacker to prevent ntpd from synchronizing with NTP servers not using authentication. A server mode packet with spoofed source address sent to the client ntpd causes the next transmission to be rescheduled, even if the packet doesn't have a valid origin timestamp. If the packet is sent to the client frequently enough, it will stop polling the server and not be able to synchronize with it.

A flaw was found in Node.js, where affected Node.js versions converted carriage returns in HTTP request headers to a hyphen before parsing. This flaw leads to HTTP Request Smuggling as it is a non-standard interpretation of the header. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality and integrity.

Affected Node.js versions can be exploited to perform HTTP desync attacks and deliver malicious payloads to unsuspecting users. The payloads can be crafted by an attacker to hijack user sessions, poison cookies, perform clickjacking, and a multitude of other attacks depending on the architecture of the underlying system.

A double free flaw was found in the way JasPer's jasperimagestopload() function parsed certain JPEG 2000 image files. A specially crafted file could cause an application using JasPer to crash.

Original report:

http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2015/q3/366

A use-after-free which leads to double-free vulnerability was found in Jasper JPEG-2000 library, in src/libjasper/mif/mifcod.c file.

553 case MIFHSAMP: 554 cmpt->sampperx = atoi(jastvparsergetval(tvp)); 555 break; 556 case MIFVSAMP: 557 cmpt->samppery = atoi(jastvparsergetval(tvp)); 558 break;

572 jastvparserdestroy(tvp); 573 if (!cmpt->sampperx || !cmpt->samppery) { 574 goto error; 575 } 576 if (mifhdraddcmpt(hdr, hdr->numcmpts, cmpt)) { 577 goto error; 578 } 579 return 0; 580 581 error: 582 if (cmpt) { 583 mifcmptdestroy(cmpt); 584 } 585 if (tvp) { 586 jastvparserdestroy(tvp); 587 } 588 return -1;

Both tvp and tvp->buf are freed by jastvparserdestroy(tvp), but if one of the two following branch conditions is taken, a second call to jastvparserdestroy(tvp) occurs. It is a use-after-free because before calling free in jastvparserdestroy there is a check to tvp->buf, while tvp could have been freed. Two double free take place just after this check (on tvp->buf and tvp).

The Transformation implementation in phpMyAdmin 4.0.x before 4.0.10.16, 4.4.x before 4.4.15.7, and 4.6.x before 4.6.3 does not use the no-referrer Content Security Policy (CSP) protection mechanism, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct CSRF attacks by reading an authentication token in a Referer header, related to libraries/Header.php.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in phpMyAdmin 4.0.x before 4.0.10.16, 4.4.x before 4.4.15.7, and 4.6.x before 4.6.3 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via vectors involving (1) a crafted table name that is mishandled during privilege checking in tablerow.phtml, (2) a crafted mysqld logbin directive that is mishandled in logselector.phtml, (3) the Transformation implementation, (4) AJAX error handling in js/ajax.js, (5) the Designer implementation, (6) the charts implementation in js/tblchart.js, or (7) the zoom-search implementation in rowszoom.phtml.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in phpMyAdmin 4.4.x before 4.4.15.7 and 4.6.x before 4.6.3 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via vectors involving (1) server-privileges certificate data fields on the user privileges page, (2) an "invalid JSON" error message in the error console, (3) a database name in the central columns implementation, (4) a group name, or (5) a search name in the bookmarks implementation.

setup/frames/index.inc.php in phpMyAdmin 4.0.10.x before 4.0.10.16, 4.4.15.x before 4.4.15.7, and 4.6.x before 4.6.3 allows remote attackers to conduct BBCode injection attacks against HTTP sessions via a crafted URI.

libproxy is vulnerable to a buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking. By persuading a victim to open a specially crafted PAC file, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system or cause the application to crash.

A vulnerability was found in Linux kernel. There is an information leak in file sound/core/timer.c of the latest mainline Linux kernel. The stack object “r1” has a total size of 32 bytes. Its field “event” and “val” both contain 4 bytes padding. These 8 bytes padding bytes are sent to user without being initialized.

Bouncy Castle could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability using an invalid curve attack to extract private keys used in elliptic curve cryptography and obtain sensitive information.
