Title: GNU Tar: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code
Date: November 20, 2011
Bugs: #313333
ID: 201111-11
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Synopsis
========
A buffer overflow flaw in GNU Tar could result in execution of
arbitrary code or a Denial of Service.
Background
==========
GNU Tar is a utility to create archives as well as add and extract
files from archives.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 app-arch/tar < 1.23 >= 1.23
Description
===========
GNU Tar is vulnerable to a boundary error in the rmt_read__ function in
lib/rtapelib.c, which could cause a heap-based buffer overflow.
Impact
======
A remote attacker could entice the user to load a specially crafted
archive, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code or a
Denial of Service.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All GNU Tar users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-arch/tar-1.23"
NOTE: This is a legacy GLSA. Updates for all affected architectures are
available since July 18, 2010. It is likely that your system is already
no longer affected by this issue.

Bugs: #325563
ID: 201111-09
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Synopsis
========
The Safe module for Perl does not properly restrict code, allowing a
remote attacker to execute arbitrary Perl code outside of a restricted
compartment.
Background
==========
Safe is a Perl module to compile and execute code in restricted
compartments.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------

2 virtual/perl-Safe < 2.27 >= 2.27
-------------------------------------------------------------------
2 affected packages
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Description
===========
Unsafe code evaluation prevents the Safe module from properly
restricting the code of implicitly called methods on implicitly blessed
objects.
Impact
======
A remote attacker could entice a user to load a specially crafted Perl
script, resulting in execution arbitrary Perl code outside of a
restricted compartment.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All users of the standalone Perl Safe module should upgrade to the
latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=perl-core/Safe-2.27"
All users of the Safe module bundled with Perl should upgrade to the
latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=virtual/perl-Safe-2.27"
NOTE: This is a legacy GLSA. Updates for all affected architectures are
available since July 18, 2010. It is likely that your system is already
