Updated glibc packages that fix multiple security issues and one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section.

The glibc packages provide the standard C and standard math libraries used by multiple programs on the system. Without these libraries, the Linux system cannot function properly.

Multiple integer overflow flaws, leading to stack-based buffer overflows, were found in glibc's functions for converting a string to a numeric representation (strtod(), strtof(), and strtold()). If an application used such a function on attacker controlled input, it could cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2012-3480)

This update also fixes the following bug :

* Previously, logic errors in various mathematical functions, including exp, exp2, expf, exp2f, pow, sin, tan, and rint, caused inconsistent results when the functions were used with the non-default rounding mode. This could also cause applications to crash in some cases. With this update, the functions now give correct results across the four different rounding modes. (BZ#839411)

All users of glibc are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues.

The remote MiracleLinux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the AXSA:2012-928:05 advisory.

    The glibc package contains standard libraries which are used by multiple programs on the system. In order     to save disk space and memory, as well as to make upgrading easier, common system code is kept in one     place and shared between programs. This particular package contains the most important sets of shared     libraries: the standard C library and the standard math library. Without these two libraries, a Linux     system will not function.
    Security issues fixed with this release:
     CVE-2012-3480     Multiple integer overflows in the (1) strtod, (2) strtof, (3) strtold, (4) strtod_l, and other unspecified     related functions in stdlib in GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.16 allow local users to cause a     denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long string, which     triggers a stack-based buffer overflow.
    Fixed bugs:
     Fixed some logic errors in some mathematical functions (exp, exp2, expf, exp2f, pow, sin, tan, and rint)     which could cause a crash when they were used in the non-default rounding mode.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote VMware ESXi 5.0 host is affected by Multiple Vulnerabilities :

  - An integer overflow condition exists in the
    __tzfile_read() function in the glibc library. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via     a crafted timezone (TZ) file, to cause a denial of     service or the execution of arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2009-5029)

  - ldd in the glibc library is affected by a privilege     escalation vulnerability due to the omission of certain     LD_TRACE_LOADED_OBJECTS checks in a crafted executable     file. Note that this vulnerability is disputed by the     library vendor. (CVE-2009-5064)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the     glibc library due to an integer signedness error in the     elf_get_dynamic_info() function when the '--verify'     option is used. A remote attacker can exploit this by     using a crafted ELF program with a negative value for a     certain d_tag structure member in the ELF header.
    (CVE-2010-0830)

  - A flaw exists in OpenSSL due to a failure to properly     prevent modification of the ciphersuite in the session     cache when SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG is     enabled. A remote attacker can exploit this to force a     downgrade to an unintended cipher by intercepting the     network traffic to discover a session identifier.
    (CVE-2010-4180)

  - A flaw exists in OpenSSL due to a failure to properly     validate the public parameters in the J-PAKE protocol     when J-PAKE is enabled. A remote attacker can exploit     this, by sending crafted values in each round of the     protocol, to bypass the need for knowledge of the shared     secret. (CVE-2010-4252)

  - A out-of-bounds memory error exists in OpenSSL that     allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service or     possibly obtain sensitive information by using a     malformed ClientHello handshake message. This is also     known as the 'OCSP stapling vulnerability'.
    (CVE-2011-0014)

  - A flaw exists in the addmntent() function in the glibc     library due to a failure to report the error status for     failed attempts to write to the /etc/mtab file. A local     attacker can exploit this to corrupt the file by using     writes from a process with a small RLIMIT_FSIZE value.
    (CVE-2011-1089)

  - A flaw exists in the png_set_text_2() function in the     file pngset.c in the libpng library due to a failure to     properly allocate memory. An unauthenticated, remote     attacker can exploit this, via a crafted text chunk in a     PNG image file, to trigger a heap-based buffer overflow,     resulting in denial of service or the execution of     arbitrary code. (CVE-2011-3048)

  - A flaw exists in the DTLS implementation in OpenSSL due     to performing a MAC check only if certain padding is     valid. A remote attacker can exploit this, via a padding     oracle attack, to recover the plaintext. (CVE-2011-4108)

  - A double-free error exists in OpenSSL when the     X509_V_FLAG_POLICY_CHECK is enabled. A remote attacker     can exploit this by triggering a policy check failure,     resulting in an unspecified impact. (CVE-2011-4109)

  - A flaw exists in OpenSSL in the SSL 3.0 implementation     due to improper initialization of data structures used     for block cipher padding. A remote attacker can exploit     this, by decrypting the padding data sent by an SSL     peer, to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2011-4576)

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists in OpenSSL when     RFC 3779 support is enabled. A remote attacker can     exploit this to cause an assertion failure, by using an     X.509 certificate containing certificate extension data     associated with IP address blocks or Autonomous System     (AS) identifiers. (CVE-2011-4577)

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the RPC     implementation in the glibc library due to a flaw in the     svc_run() function. A remote attacker can exploit this,     via large number of RPC connections, to exhaust CPU     resources. (CVE-2011-4609)

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the Server     Gated Cryptography (SGC) implementation in OpenSSL due     to a failure to properly handle handshake restarts. A     remote attacker can exploit this, via unspecified     vectors, to exhaust CPU resources. (CVE-2011-4619)

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists in OpenSSL due     to improper support of DTLS applications. A remote     attacker can exploit this, via unspecified vectors     related to an out-of-bounds read error. Note that this     vulnerability exists because of an incorrect fix for     CVE-2011-4108. (CVE-2012-0050)

  - A security bypass vulnerability exists in the glibc     library due to an integer overflow condition in the     vfprintf() function in file stdio-common/vfprintf.c. An     attacker can exploit this, by using a large number of     arguments, to bypass the FORTIFY_SOURCE protection     mechanism, allowing format string attacks or writing to     arbitrary memory. (CVE-2012-0864)

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the glibc     library in the vfprintf() function in file     stdio-common/vfprintf.c due to a failure to properly     calculate a buffer length. An attacker can exploit this,     via a format string that uses positional parameters and     many format specifiers, to bypass the FORTIFY_SOURCE     format-string protection mechanism, thus causing stack     corruption and a crash. (CVE-2012-3404)

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the glibc     library in the vfprintf() function in file     stdio-common/vfprintf.c due to a failure to properly     calculate a buffer length. An attacker can exploit this,     via a format string with a large number of format     specifiers, to bypass the FORTIFY_SOURCE format-string     protection mechanism, thus triggering desynchronization     within the buffer size handling, resulting in a     segmentation fault and crash. (CVE-2012-3405)

  - A flaw exists in the glibc library in the vfprintf()     function in file stdio-common/vfprintf.c due to a     failure to properly restrict the use of the alloca()     function when allocating the SPECS array. An attacker     can exploit this, via a crafted format string using     positional parameters and a large number of format     specifiers, to bypass the FORTIFY_SOURCE format-string     protection mechanism, thus triggering a denial of     service or the possible execution of arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2012-3406)

  - A flaw exists in the glibc library due to multiple     integer overflow conditions in the strtod(), strtof(),     strtold(), strtod_l(), and other unspecified related     functions. A local attacker can exploit these to trigger     a stack-based buffer overflow, resulting in an     application crash or the possible execution of arbitrary     code. (CVE-2012-3480)

  - A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the     Virtual Machine Communication Interface (VMCI) due to a     failure by control code to properly restrict memory     allocation. A local attacker can exploit this, via     unspecified vectors, to gain privileges. (CVE-2013-1406)

  - An error exists in the implementation of the Network     File Copy (NFC) protocol. A man-in-the-middle attacker     can exploit this, by modifying the client-server data     stream, to cause a denial of service or the execution     of arbitrary code. (CVE-2013-1659)

New glibc packages are available for Slackware 13.1, 13.37, and
-current to fix security issues.

An updated rhev-hypervisor5 package that fixes multiple security issues and various bugs is now available.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having important security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

The rhev-hypervisor5 package provides a Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor ISO disk image. The Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor is a dedicated Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) hypervisor. It includes everything necessary to run and manage virtual machines: A subset of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating environment and the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Agent.

Note: Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor is only available for the Intel 64 and AMD64 architectures with virtualization extensions.

A flaw was found in the way QEMU handled VT100 terminal escape sequences when emulating certain character devices. A guest user with privileges to write to a character device that is emulated on the host using a virtual console back-end could use this flaw to crash the qemu-kvm process on the host or, possibly, escalate their privileges on the host. (CVE-2012-3515)

Multiple integer overflow flaws, leading to stack-based buffer overflows, were found in glibc's functions for converting a string to a numeric representation (strtod(), strtof(), and strtold()). If an application used such a function on attacker controlled input, it could cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2012-3480)

Red Hat would like to thank the Xen project for reporting the CVE-2012-3515 issue.

This updated package provides updated components that include various bug fixes, as well as a fix for CVE-2012-3515 in the xen package;
however, for this component, it had no security impact on Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor itself.

Users of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes these issues.
