Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2019-03-15 10:38:42 UTC
From ${URL} :

Jann Horn (CC'd) identified a problem in current versions of
libseccomp where the library did not correctly generate 64-bit syscall
argument comparisons using the arithmetic operators (LT, GT, LE, GE).
Jann has done a search using codesearch.debian.net and it would appear
that only systemd and Tor are using libseccomp in such a way as to
trigger the bad code.  In the case of systemd this appears to affect
the socket address family and scheduling class filters.  In the case
of Tor it appears that the bad filters could impact the memory
addresses passed to mprotect(2).

The libseccomp v2.4.0 release fixes this problem, and should be a
direct drop-in replacement for previous v2.x releases.  Due the
complexity, and associated risk, of backporting the fix to the v2.3.x
release stream, I've made the difficult decision not to backport the
fix.  Further, I'm not aware of any workarounds for this issue.
Adminstrators and distros are strongly encouraged to upgrade to
libseccomp v2.4.0 as soon as possible.

problem and a list of the assocated patches can be found at the link

@maintainer(s): after the bump, in case we need to stabilize the package, please let us know if it is ready for the stabilization or not.

That version also finally adds hppa support, that had been available in git for a while now.

@arches: There's one failing test. But as it's the same test that also fails in our current stable version (2.3.3) I didn't investigate any further. Please stabilize anyway as this is no regression.
