Description Stefan Behte (RETIRED) gentoo-dev Security 2010-06-25 20:04:48 UTC 
CVE-2010-1457 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2010-1457):
  Tools/gdomap.c in gdomap in GNUstep Base before 1.20.0 allows local
  users to read arbitrary files via a (1) -c or (2) -a option, which
  prints file contents in an error message.
Comment 1 Stefan Behte (RETIRED) gentoo-dev Security 2010-06-25 20:06:48 UTC 
Is 1.20.1 ready to go stable?
Comment 2 Stefan Behte (RETIRED) gentoo-dev Security 2010-06-25 21:36:35 UTC 
CVE-2010-1620 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2010-1620):
  Integer overflow in the load_iface function in Tools/gdomap.c in
  gdomap in GNUstep Base before 1.20.0 might allow context-dependent
  attackers to execute arbitrary code via a (1) file or (2) socket that
  provides configuration data with many entries, leading to a
  heap-based buffer overflow.
Comment 3 Bernard Cafarelli gentoo-dev 2010-06-26 10:20:26 UTC 
Well I had no problems myself (and no bugreports) on 1.20.*, so 1.20.1 can certainly go stable

This will require stabling of other gnustep-base/ packages though (stable gnustep-gui-0.16.0 does not build with gnustep-base-1.20).

Here is the list for the set of packages to go with 1.20:
- gnustep-base/gnustep-make-2.4.0 (amd64, ppc, ppc64, sparc, x86)
- gnustep-base/gnustep-base-1.20.1 (amd64, ppc, sparc, x86)
- gnustep-base/gnustep-gui-0.18.0 (amd64, ppc, sparc, x86)
- gnustep-base/gnustep-back-art-0.18.0 (amd64, ppc, sparc, x86)
- gnustep-base/gnustep-back-xlib-0.18.0 (amd64, ppc, sparc, x86)
- gnustep-base/gnustep-back-cairo-0.18.0 (amd64, x86)
and the virtual for the last 3: - virtual/gnustep-back-0.18.0 (amd64, ppc, sparc, x86)

Same comment as 1.20.1, I have seen no problems myself and no bugreports opened
Comment 4 Tobias Heinlein (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-06-26 13:20:08 UTC 
Re-rating as per comment #2.
