Description Aleksandr Wagner (Kivak) 2017-08-31 16:38:34 UTC
CVE-2017-14062 (http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2017-14062):

Integer overflow in the decode_digit function in puny_decode.c in Libidn2 before 2.0.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact.

Maintainer(s), please advise if you are ready for stabilization or call for stabilization yourself.

Version 2.0.4 that is not vulnerable is in the tree.
Comment 3 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2017-09-12 10:30:50 UTC
Yes, why don't you?
Comment 4 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2017-09-15 07:06:36 UTC
I think CVE-2017-14062 also affects net-dns/libidn. Would that warrant a separate bug report?
Comment 5 Aleksandr Wagner (Kivak) 2017-09-15 15:22:42 UTC
Looking at the source of libidn I cannot locate the vulnerable file or code. This leads be to believe that libidn is not affected by CVE-2017-14062.

The site http://www.gnu.org/software/libidn/#libidn2 also states that " Libidn2 is a standalone library, without any dependency on Libidn".

"A superficial glance did not reveal any risk."

Can we now get back to this question?
Comment 8 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2017-09-16 12:33:58 UTC
Also sys-libs/glibc as its libidn/punycode.c (i.e. in 2.26-r1) does not have this patch.
Comment 9 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2017-09-16 13:19:13 UTC
I am not aware of any users of libcidn.so. Perhaps it shouldn't be installed at all or at the very least be made optional through a USE flag. Note that while libidn had a couple of security bugs through the years, the version in glibc has hardly seen updates.

My apologies, the package is indeed affected. I have opened a new bug 631130.

No sys-libs/glibc bug?

Comment 14 Sergei Trofimovich (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2017-10-02 12:15:13 UTC
Do we stabilize =net-dns/libidn2-2.0.4 here? Worth populating 'Package list' field then.
Or should arched be removed until things are settled here?
