TITLE

Apple OS X Used in products such as bsdiff of bspatch of bspatch.c Integer sign error vulnerability

DESCRIPTION

Integer signedness error in bspatch.c in bspatch in bsdiff, as used in Apple OS X before 10.11.6 and other products, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow) via a crafted patch file. Apple OS X Used in and other products bsdiff of bspatch of bspatch.c Contains an integer sign error vulnerability. Supplementary information : CWE Vulnerability type by CWE-190: Integer Overflow or Wraparound ( Integer overflow or wraparound ) Has been identified. Attackers can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code, gain sensitive information, cause denial-of-service conditions, bypass security restrictions, and perform unauthorized actions. This may aid in other attacks. Apple Mac OS X 10.9.5, 10.10.5 and 10.11 through 10.11.5 are vulnerable. bsdiff is one of the tool components used to build patched binaries. ========================================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-4500-1 September 15, 2020 bsdiff vulnerabilities ========================================================================== A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Summary: bsdiff could be made to crash or run programs as your login if it opened a specially crafted file. Software Description: - bsdiff: generate/apply a patch between two binary files Details: It was discovered that bsdiff mishandled certain input. Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS: bsdiff 4.3-15+deb8u1build0.16.04.1 In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.

Corrected: 2016-07-25 14:52:12 UTC (stable/11, 11.0-BETA2-p1) 2016-07-25 14:52:12 UTC (stable/11, 11.0-BETA1-p1) 2016-07-25 14:53:04 UTC (stable/10, 10.3-STABLE) 2016-07-25 15:04:17 UTC (releng/10.3, 10.3-RELEASE-p6) 2016-07-25 15:04:17 UTC (releng/10.2, 10.2-RELEASE-p20) 2016-07-25 15:04:17 UTC (releng/10.1, 10.1-RELEASE-p37) 2016-07-25 14:53:04 UTC (stable/9, 9.3-STABLE) 2016-07-25 15:04:17 UTC (releng/9.3, 9.3-RELEASE-p45) CVE Name: CVE-2014-9862 For general information regarding FreeBSD Security Advisories, including descriptions of the fields above, security branches, and the following sections, please visit <URL:https://security.FreeBSD.org/>. I. Background The bspatch utility generates newfile from oldfile and patchfile where patchfile is a binary patch built by bsdiff(1). II. Problem Description The implementation of bspatch does not check for a negative value on numbers of bytes read from the diff and extra streams, allowing an attacker who can control the patch file to write at arbitrary locations in the heap. This issue was first discovered by The Chromium Project and reported independently by Lu Tung-Pin to the FreeBSD project. III. Impact An attacker who can control the patch file can cause a crash or run arbitrary code under the credentials of the user who runs bspatch, in many cases, root. IV. Workaround No workaround is available. V. Solution Perform one of the following: 1) Upgrade your vulnerable system to a supported FreeBSD stable or release / security branch (releng) dated after the correction date. No reboot is needed. 2) To update your vulnerable system via a binary patch: Systems running a RELEASE version of FreeBSD on the i386 or amd64 platforms can be updated via the freebsd-update(8) utility: # freebsd-update fetch # freebsd-update install No reboot is needed. 3) To update your vulnerable system via a source code patch: The following patches have been verified to apply to the applicable FreeBSD release branches. a) Download the relevant patch from the location below, and verify the detached PGP signature using your PGP utility. # fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-16:25/bspatch.patch # fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-16:25/bspatch.patch.asc # gpg --verify bspatch.patch.asc b) Apply the patch. Execute the following commands as root: # cd /usr/src # patch < /path/to/patch c) Recompile the operating system using buildworld and installworld as described in <URL:https://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/makeworld.html>. VI. Correction details The following list contains the correction revision numbers for each affected branch. Branch/path Revision - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- stable/9/ r303301 releng/9.3/ r303304 stable/10/ r303301 releng/10.1/ r303304 releng/10.2/ r303304 releng/10.3/ r303304 stable/11/ r303300 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- To see which files were modified by a particular revision, run the following command, replacing NNNNNN with the revision number, on a machine with Subversion installed: # svn diff -cNNNNNN --summarize svn://svn.freebsd.org/base Or visit the following URL, replacing NNNNNN with the revision number: <URL:https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=NNNNNN> VII.
