Date: August 21, 2017
Bugs: #616690
ID: 201708-04

Synopsis
========

An insecure file usage has been reported in Ked Password Manager
possibly allowing confidential information to be disclosed.

Background
==========

Helps to manage large numbers of passwords and related information and
simplifies the tasks of searching and entering password data.

Affected packages
=================

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 app-admin/kedpm < 0.4.0-r2 Vulnerable!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: Certain packages are still vulnerable. Users should migrate
to another package if one is available or wait for the
existing packages to be marked stable by their
architecture maintainers.

Description
===========

A history file in ~/.kedpm/history is written in clear text. All of the
commands performed in the password manager are written there. This can
lead to the disclosure of the master password if the "password" command
is used with an argument. The names of the password entries created and
consulted are also accessible in clear text.

Impact
======

An attacker could obtain confidential information.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

Gentoo Security recommends that users unmerge Ked Password Manager:

# emerge --unmerge "app-admin/kedpm"

Title: RAR and UnRAR: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code
Date: August 21, 2017
Bugs: #622342, #622382
ID: 201708-05

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Synopsis
========

An integer overflow in RAR and UnRAR might allow remote attackers to
execute arbitrary code.

Background
==========

RAR and UnRAR provide command line interfaces for compressing and
decompressing RAR files.

Affected packages
=================

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 app-arch/rar < 5.5.0_beta4_p20170628>= 5.5.0_beta4_p20170628
2 app-arch/unrar < 5.5.5 >= 5.5.5
-------------------------------------------------------------------
2 affected packages

Description
===========

A VMSF_DELTA memory corruption was discovered in which an integer
overflow can be caused in DataSize+CurChannel. The result is a negative
value of the "DestPos" variable which allows writing out of bounds when
setting Mem[DestPos].

Impact
======

A remote attacker, by enticing a user to open a specially crafted
archive, could execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the
process.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All RAR users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot -v ">=app-arch/rar-5.5.0_beta4_p20170628"

All UnRAR users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-arch/unrar-5.5.5"
