Description John Helmert III archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2021-01-06 18:57:17 UTC
CVE-2020-16044:

A malicious peer could have modified a COOKIE-ECHO chunk in a SCTP packet in a way that potentially resulted in a use-after-free. We presume that with enough effort it could have been exploited to run arbitrary code.


Fixed in 78.6.1 and 84.0.2.

Thank you!
Comment 5 Horst Prote 2021-01-08 11:57:31 UTC
I'm missing www-client/firefox/firefox-84.0.2.ebuild
Comment 6 Joonas Niilola gentoo-dev 2021-01-08 12:02:00 UTC
It's not in the tree yet, the main maintainer hasn't returned committing after christmas and I'm a bit occupied until tomorrow.

Since it's 84.0.1 -> 84.0.2 bump there's probably nothing major updated (haven't had time to check 84.0.x logs), so just renaming the ebuild should be enough if you want to help testing it.

Comment 8 Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2021-01-09 09:14:34 UTC
I'll switch back to [ebuild] for now I guess until we get the 84.x.
