Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
The x86 emulation base libraries for AMD64 contain a vulnerable version |
19 |
of zlib which could potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code. |
20 |
|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |
23 |
|
24 |
The x86 emulation base libraries for AMD64 emulate the x86 (32-bit) |
25 |
architecture on the AMD64 (64-bit) architecture. |
26 |
|
27 |
Affected packages |
28 |
================= |

------------------------------------------------------------------- |

Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected |
32 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
33 |
1 emul-linux-x86-baselibs < 2.2 >= 2.2 |
34 |

35 |
# Package 1 only applies to AMD64 users. |

Description |
38 |
=========== |
39 |
|
40 |
Earlier versions of emul-linux-x86-baselibs contain a vulnerable |
41 |
version of zlib, which may lead to a buffer overflow. |
42 |
|
43 |
Impact |
44 |
====== |
45 |
|
46 |
By creating a specially crafted compressed data stream, attackers can |
47 |
overwrite data structures for applications that use the x86 emulation |
48 |
base libraries for AMD64, resulting in a Denial of Service and |
49 |
potentially arbitrary code execution. |
50 |
|
51 |
Workaround |
52 |
========== |
53 |
|
54 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
55 |
|
56 |
Resolution |
57 |
========== |
58 |
|
59 |
All AMD64 x86 emulation base libraries users should upgrade to the |
60 |
latest version: |
61 |
|
62 |
# emerge --sync |
63 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose |
64 |
">=app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-baselibs-2.2" |
65 |
|
