Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.

1) Buffer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU44134

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 6.4 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2010-4666

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to read and manipulate data.

Buffer overflow in libarchive 3.0 pre-release code allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted CAB file, which is not properly handled during the reading of Huffman code data within LZX compressed data.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's repository.

Vulnerable software versions

Fedora: 5

libarchive: before 2.8.4-4.el5

CPE2.3 External links
