Jean-Sebastien Guay-Lero has reported a vulnerability in file, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system. The vulnerability is caused due to an unspecified integer underflow within the "file_printf" function, which can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow. versions < 4.20 are vulnerable. Arches, please stabilize sys-apps/file-4.20. Thanks.
just a note. that file-4.20 does not compile on uClibc (non posix regex defines) It introduces new features which our team has yet had time to review. A backported fix might be better
It will compile with a small patch that adds. #ifndef REG_STARTEND # define REG_STARTEND (1 << 2) #endif
No uclibc for HPPA, so I keyworded 4.20.
no uclibc on ppc64 either, so stable there, too.
no uclibc on alpha, no cookie. 4.20 stable anyway.
emerges fine and works on amd64, not sure about that uclibc thingy since there's only uclibc++ on amd64 Portage 2.1.2.2 (default-linux/amd64/2006.1/desktop, gcc-4.1.1, glibc-2.5-r0, 2.6.20-beyond2 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.20-beyond2 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4600+ Gentoo Base System release 1.12.9 Timestamp of tree: Wed, 21 Mar 2007 21:50:01 +0000 ccache version 2.4 [enabled] dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.0.31 dev-lang/python: 2.4.3-r4 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r6 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.14 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.17-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=k8 -O2 -pipe -msse3" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/X11/xkb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/gconf /etc/java-config/vms/ /etc/php/apache1-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/apache2-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cgi-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cli-php5/ext-active/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/splash /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-march=k8 -O2 -pipe -msse3" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig buildsyspkg ccache collision-protect distlocks metadata-transfer multilib-strict parallel-fetch sandbox sfperms strict test" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://linux.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/gentoo-mirror/ ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/mirrors/gentoo ftp://ftp.join.uni-muenster.de/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo ftp://ftp.wh2.tu-dresden.de/pub/mirrors/gentoo ftp://ftp.join.uni-muenster.de/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo ftp://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.gentoo.mesh-solutions.com/gentoo/ ftp://pandemonium.tiscali.de/pub/gentoo/ " LANG="en_US.ISO-8859-15" LC_ALL="en_US.ISO-8859-15" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS="--exclude-from=/etc/portage/rsync_excludes" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages --filter=H_**/files/digest-*" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage/overlay" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X a52 aac acpi alsa amd64 amr audiofile berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 cairo cdinstall cdr cli cracklib crypt cups dbus dri dts dvd dvdr dvdread eds emboss encode fam firefox fortran gdbm gif gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 hal iconv jpeg ldap libg++ lirc logrotate mad midi mikmod mp3 mpeg ncurses nls nptl nptlonly offensive ogg opengl pam pcre php png ppds pppd quicktime readline reflection sdl session smp socks5 spl ssl svg symlink tcpd test tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode v4l vim vorbis x264 xinerama xorg xv xvid zlib" ALSA_CARDS="emu10k1" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev keyboard" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LIRC_DEVICES="inputlirc" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS

solar: any word?
dont worry about the uclibc profile, it will be accounted for ... stabilize for glibc/default-linux as normal
x86 goes stable then
okie dokie sparc stable.
ppc stable
thanks arches, ready for glsa.
GLSA 200703-26, thanks to everybody!
