TITLE

Ruby Heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability

DESCRIPTION

Heap-based buffer overflow in Ruby 1.8, 1.9 before 1.9.3-p484, 2.0 before 2.0.0-p353, 2.1 before 2.1.0 preview2, and trunk before revision 43780 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a string that is converted to a floating point value, as demonstrated using (1) the to_f method or (2) JSON.parse. Ruby is prone to a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability because it fails to adequate boundary checks on user-supplied input. An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application using the affected function. Failed exploit attempts will likely crash the application. Following versions are vulnerable: Ruby 1.8 Ruby 1.9 prior to 1.9.3-p484 Ruby 2.0 prior to 2.0.0-p353 Ruby 2.1 prior to 2.1.0 preview2. Relevant releases/architectures: OpenStack 3 - noarch, x86_64 3. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA-2810-1 security@debian.org http://www.debian.org/security/ Salvatore Bonaccorso December 04, 2013 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : ruby1.9.1 Vulnerability : heap overflow Problem type : remote Debian-specific: no CVE ID : CVE-2013-4164 Debian Bug : 730178 Charlie Somerville discovered that Ruby incorrectly handled floating point number conversion. For the oldstable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 1.9.2.0-2+deb6u2. For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 1.9.3.194-8.1+deb7u2. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1.9.3.484-1. We recommend that you upgrade your ruby1.9.1 packages. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 APPLE-SA-2014-04-22-1 Security Update 2014-002 Security Update 2014-002 is now available and addresses the following: CFNetwork HTTPProtocol Available for: OS X Lion v10.7.5, OS X Lion Server v10.7.5, OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.5, OS X Mavericks v10.9.2 Impact: An attacker in a privileged network position can obtain web site credentials Description: Set-Cookie HTTP headers would be processed even if the connection closed before the header line was complete. An attacker could strip security settings from the cookie by forcing the connection to close before the security settings were sent, and then obtain the value of the unprotected cookie. This issue was addressed by ignoring incomplete HTTP header lines. CVE-ID CVE-2014-1296 : Antoine Delignat-Lavaud of Prosecco at Inria Paris CoreServicesUIAgent Available for: OS X Mavericks v10.9.2 Impact: Visiting a maliciously crafted website or URL may result in an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution Description: A format string issue existed in the handling of URLs. This issue was addressed through additional validation of URLs. This issue does not affect systems prior to OS X Mavericks. CVE-ID CVE-2014-1315 : Lukasz Pilorz of runic.pl, Erik Kooistra FontParser Available for: OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.5 Impact: Opening a maliciously crafted PDF file may result in an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution Description: A buffer underflow existed in the handling of fonts in PDF files. This issue was addressed through additional bounds checking. This issue does not affect OS X Mavericks systems. CVE-ID CVE-2013-5170 : Will Dormann of CERT/CC Heimdal Kerberos Available for: OS X Mavericks v10.9.2 Impact: A remote attacker may be able to cause a denial of service Description: A reachable abort existed in the handling of ASN.1 data. This issue was addressed through additional validation of ASN.1 data. CVE-ID CVE-2014-1316 : Joonas Kuorilehto of Codenomicon ImageIO Available for: OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.5, OS X Mavericks v10.9.2 Impact: Viewing a maliciously crafted JPEG image may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution Description: A buffer overflow issue existed in ImageIO's handling of JPEG images. This issue was addressed through improved bounds checking. This issue does not affect systems prior to OS X Mavericks. CVE-ID CVE-2014-1319 : Cristian Draghici of Modulo Consulting, Karl Smith of NCC Group Intel Graphics Driver Available for: OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.5, OS X Mavericks v10.9.2 Impact: A malicious application can take control of the system Description: A validation issue existed in the handling of a pointer from userspace. This issue was addressed through additional validation of pointers. CVE-ID CVE-2014-1318 : Ian Beer of Google Project Zero working with HP's Zero Day Initiative IOKit Kernel Available for: OS X Mavericks v10.9.2 Impact: A local user can read kernel pointers, which can be used to bypass kernel address space layout randomization Description: A set of kernel pointers stored in an IOKit object could be retrieved from userland. This issue was addressed through removing the pointers from the object. CVE-ID CVE-2014-1320 : Ian Beer of Google Project Zero working with HP's Zero Day Initiative Kernel Available for: OS X Mavericks v10.9.2 Impact: A local user can read a kernel pointer, which can be used to bypass kernel address space layout randomization Description: A kernel pointer stored in a XNU object could be retrieved from userland. This issue was addressed through removing the pointer from the object. CVE-ID CVE-2014-1322 : Ian Beer of Google Project Zero Power Management Available for: OS X Mavericks v10.9.2 Impact: The screen might not lock Description: If a key was pressed or the trackpad touched just after the lid was closed, the system might have tried to wake up while going to sleep, which would have caused the screen to be unlocked. This issue was addressed by ignoring keypresses while going to sleep. This issue does not affect systems prior to OS X Mavericks. CVE-ID CVE-2014-1321 : Paul Kleeberg of Stratis Health Bloomington MN, Julian Sincu at the Baden-Wuerttemberg Cooperative State University (DHBW Stuttgart), Gerben Wierda of R&A, Daniel Luz Ruby Available for: OS X Mavericks v10.9.2 Impact: Running a Ruby script that handles untrusted YAML tags may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution Description: An integer overflow issue existed in LibYAML's handling of YAML tags. This issue was addressed through additional validation of YAML tags. This issue does not affect systems prior to OS X Mavericks. CVE-ID CVE-2013-6393 Ruby Available for: OS X Lion v10.7.5, OS X Lion Server v10.7.5, OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.5, OS X Mavericks v10.9.2 Impact: Running a Ruby script that uses untrusted input to create a Float object may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution Description: A heap-based buffer overflow issue existed in Ruby when converting a string to a floating point value. This issue was addressed through additional validation of floating point values. CVE-ID CVE-2013-4164 Security - Secure Transport Available for: OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.5, OS X Mavericks v10.9.2 Impact: An attacker with a privileged network position may capture data or change the operations performed in sessions protected by SSL Description: In a 'triple handshake' attack, it was possible for an attacker to establish two connections which had the same encryption keys and handshake, insert the attacker's data in one connection, and renegotiate so that the connections may be forwarded to each other. To prevent attacks based on this scenario, Secure Transport was changed so that, by default, a renegotiation must present the same server certificate as was presented in the original connection. This issue does not affect Mac OS X 10.7 systems and earlier. CVE-ID CVE-2014-1295 : Antoine Delignat-Lavaud, Karthikeyan Bhargavan and Alfredo Pironti of Prosecco at Inria Paris WindowServer Available for: OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.5, OS X Mavericks v10.9.2 Impact: Maliciously crafted applications can execute arbitrary code outside the sandbox Description: WindowServer sessions could be created by sandboxed applications. This issue was addressed by disallowing sandboxed applications from creating WindowServer sessions.
