Comment 1 Yana Luna-Terra 2017-10-30 19:48:27 UTC
Thanks for notifying, I still nominally maintain this ebuild :-)

Here are patches:

https://github.com/extramaster/bchunk/issues/2#issuecomment-340561560
https://github.com/extramaster/bchunk/issues/4#issuecomment-340554799

I'll open a PR to gentoo ebuild repo on GitHub with ebuild update when these patches are tested by the guy who found these vulnerabilities.
Comment 2 Fabian Groffen gentoo-dev 2017-10-31 16:46:49 UTC

Comment 3 Aleksandr Wagner (Kivak) 2017-10-31 17:39:08 UTC
@ Maintainer(s): Thank you for the patches, please state when you're ready for stabilization.
Comment 4 Yana Luna-Terra 2017-10-31 18:14:07 UTC
I am ready for stabilization, however note that I don't use Gentoo anymore.
Comment 5 Aleksandr Wagner (Kivak) 2017-11-10 20:50:11 UTC
@ Arches: Please stabilize =app-cdr/bchunk-1.2.0-r4.
Comment 6 Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2017-11-12 15:38:43 UTC
B2 because it is a write issue.

> B2 because it is a write issue.

All 3 CVE's say it can lead to a crash.  Please stop over classifying bugs if there is no proof of concept for an ACE/RCE. The security team has enough bugs to handle and assumptions are not helping.

Indeed.  It does not apply.  

@maintainer(s), please bump to >=1.2.2 as discussed.  I imagine a PR is needed as you are a proxy maintainer.

We're essentially there, as far as I can tell at the moment.

New git repo: https://github.com/hessu/bchunk/ (linked from package url: http://he.fi/bchunk/)

Patches:
https://github.com/hessu/bchunk/commit/6a053c13ad79c49a801656d6d313a186847ccb66
https://github.com/hessu/bchunk/commit/c021dcddd07fa78d95217373c83f9caa74a1ced4

The patches for these (things since 1.2.0) are the same as what we're already using in the ebuild, but currently, these warnings(?) show up:
>* Applying CVE-2017-15953.patch ... [ ok ]
>* Applying CVE-2017-15955.patch ...

I've bumped the ebuild and generated fresh patches with their origin in a PR shortly.

Comment 28 David Turner 2020-06-18 23:02:07 UTC
Why was bchunk-v1.2.2 just dropped from the portage tree causing a downgrade to the vulnerable v1.2.0 ?!?

Those patches are not required for v1.2.2 as per the release notes from the upstream. See http://he.fi/bchunk/

<snip>
1.2.2 (14 Nov 2017): SECURITY UPDATE

    Fixes CVE-2017-15953 and CVE-2017-15954, a heap-based buffer overflow. Fix provided by Yegor Timoshenko.
    Fixes CVE-2017-15955, Access violation near NULL on destination operand and crash when processing a malformed CUE (.cue) file. Fix provided by Yegor Timoshenko.
    Fix wrong track size calculation when having multiple tracks in one image (debian bug: #261274). Fix provided by Piotr Kaczuba.
    Clarified manual page for input/output file types. Improvement from Reuben Thomas (debian bug: #503151).

1.2.0 (29 Jun 2004):

    Man page patch from the openbsd port
    -r option for MODE2/2352 MPEG/VCD support 
</snip>

Can we please get v1.2.2 as the latest upstream release restored to the portage tree, even if marked as unstable?

This is clearly a mistake. Please remember we're human and we're in challenging times right now, sometimes people do slip up.

Thank you for pointing this out, I'll get it resolved now.

Thanks for resolving this so quickly.

I understand, though still concerning.

Definitely. I will keep an eye to make sure it doesn't happen again. Please feel free to ping us (or me) in #gentoo-security if you ever have any queries too.
