Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
A stack-based buffer overflow in musl might allow an attacker to have |
19 |
an application dependent impact. |
20 |
|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |
23 |
|
24 |
musl is an implementation of the C standard library built on top of the |
25 |
Linux system call API, including interfaces defined in the base |
26 |
language standard, POSIX, and widely agreed-upon extensions. |
27 |
|
28 |
Affected packages |
29 |
================= |
30 |
|
31 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
32 |
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected |
33 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
34 |
1 sys-libs/musl < 1.1.24 >= 1.1.24 |
35 |
|
36 |
Description |
37 |
=========== |
38 |
|
39 |
A flaw in musl libc's arch-specific math assembly code for i386 was |
40 |
found which can lead to x87 stack overflow in the execution of |
41 |
subsequent math code. |
42 |
|
43 |
Impact |
44 |
====== |
45 |
|
46 |
Impact depends on how the application built against musl libc handles |
47 |
the ABI-violating x87 state. |
48 |
|
49 |
Workaround |
50 |
========== |
51 |
|
52 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
53 |
|
54 |
Resolution |
55 |
========== |
56 |
|
57 |
All musl users should upgrade to the latest version: |
58 |
|
59 |
# emerge --sync |
60 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-libs/musl-1.1.24" |
61 |
