Synopsis |
| 19 |
======== |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
An out-of-bounds error in hivex may result in execution of arbitrary |
| 22 |
code or Denial of Service. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Background |
| 25 |
========== |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
hivex is a library for reading and writing Windows Registry 'hive' |
| 28 |
binary files. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Affected packages |
| 31 |
================= |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 34 |
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected |
| 35 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 36 |
1 app-misc/hivex < 1.3.11 >= 1.3.11 |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Description |
| 39 |
=========== |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
Manipulating a short or truncated hive file may trigger an |
| 42 |
out-of-bounds read or write in hivex. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
Impact |
| 45 |
====== |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
A context-dependent attacker could cause an application linked against |
| 48 |
hivex to pass a short or truncated hive file, possibly resulting in |
| 49 |
execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or a |
| 50 |
Denial of Service condition. |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
Workaround |
| 53 |
========== |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
Resolution |
| 58 |
========== |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
All hivex users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
# emerge --sync |
| 63 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-misc/hivex-1.3.11" |
| 64 |
|
