Title: D-Bus, GLib: Privilege escalation
Date: June 01, 2014
Bugs: #436028
ID: 201406-01
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Synopsis
========
A vulnerability has been found in D-Bus which allows local attackers to
gain escalated privileges.
Background
==========
D-Bus is a daemon providing a framework for applications to communicate
with one another. GLib is a library providing a number of GNOME's core
objects and functions.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 sys-apps/dbus < 1.6.8 >= 1.6.8
2 dev-libs/glib < 2.32.4-r1 >= 2.32.4-r1
-------------------------------------------------------------------
2 affected packages
Description
===========
When libdbus is used in a setuid program, a user can gain escalated
privileges by leveraging the DBUS_SYSTEM_BUS_ADDRESS variable. GLib can
be used in a setuid context with D-Bus, and so can trigger this
vulnerability. Please review the CVE identifier below for more details.
Impact
======
A local attacker could gain escalated privileges and execute arbitrary
code.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All D-Bus users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-apps/dbus-1.6.8"
All GLib users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/glib-2.32.4-r1"

Bugs: #366687, #463632
ID: 201406-02

Synopsis
========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in libarchive, some of which
may allow execution of arbitrary code.
Background
==========
libarchive is a library for manipulating different streaming archive
formats, including certain tar variants, several cpio formats, and both
BSD and GNU ar variants.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 app-arch/libarchive < 3.1.2-r1 >= 3.1.2-r1
Description
===========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in libarchive. Please
review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
Impact
======
A remote attacker could entice a user or automated process to open a
specially crafted archive using an application linked against
libarchive, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the
privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All libarchive users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-arch/libarchive-3.1.2-r1"
Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools
such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying some of these
packages.

ID: 201406-03
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Synopsis
========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Fail2ban, the worst of
which allows remote attackers to cause a Denial of Service condition.
Background
==========
Fail2ban is a tool for parsing log files and banning IP addresses which
show suspicious behavior.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 net-analyzer/fail2ban < 0.8.12 >= 0.8.12
Description
===========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Fail2ban. Please
review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
Impact
======
A remote attacker could send a crafted URL to a web site which, when
parsed by Fail2ban, would deny a specific IP address. Also, errors in
regular expressions within certain filters can cause arbitrary IP
addresses to be banned. Furthermore, a local attacker could perform
symlink attacks to overwrite arbitrary files with the privileges of the
user running the application.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All Fail2ban users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-analyzer/fail2ban-0.8.12
