The wordexp function in GNU C Library (aka glibc) 2.21 does not enforce the WRDE_NOCMD flag, which allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary commands, as demonstrated by input containing "$((`...`))".

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201602-02 (GNU C Library: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in the GNU C Library:
      The Google Security Team and Red Hat discovered a stack-based buffer         overflow in the send_dg() and send_vc() functions due to a buffer         mismanagement when getaddrinfo() is called with AF_UNSPEC         (CVE-2015-7547).
      The strftime() function access invalid memory when passed         out-of-range data, resulting in a crash (CVE-2015-8776).
      An integer overflow was found in the __hcreate_r() function         (CVE-2015-8778).
      Multiple unbounded stack allocations were found in the catopen()         function (CVE-2015-8779).
    Please review the CVEs referenced below for additional vulnerabilities       that had already been fixed in previous versions of sys-libs/glibc, for       which we have not issued a GLSA before.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could exploit any application which performs host name       resolution using getaddrinfo() in order to execute arbitrary code or       crash the application. The other vulnerabilities can possibly be       exploited to cause a Denial of Service or leak information.
  Workaround :

    A number of mitigating factors for CVE-2015-7547 have been identified.
      Please review the upstream advisory and references below.

Updated glibc packages fix security vulnerabilities :

Stephane Chazelas discovered that directory traversal issue in locale handling in glibc. glibc accepts relative paths with .. components in the LC_* and LANG variables. Together with typical OpenSSH configurations (with suitable AcceptEnv settings in sshd_config), this could conceivably be used to bypass ForceCommand restrictions (or restricted shells), assuming the attacker has sufficient level of access to a file system location on the host to create crafted locale definitions there (CVE-2014-0475).

David Reid, Glyph Lefkowitz, and Alex Gaynor discovered a bug where posix_spawn_file_actions_addopen fails to copy the path argument (glibc bz #17048) which can, in conjunction with many common memory management techniques from an application, lead to a use after free, or other vulnerabilities (CVE-2014-4043).

This update also fixes the following issues: x86: Disable x87 inline functions for SSE2 math (glibc bz #16510) malloc: Fix race in free() of fastbin chunk (glibc bz #15073)

Tavis Ormandy discovered a heap-based buffer overflow in the transliteration module loading code. As a result, an attacker who can supply a crafted destination character set argument to iconv-related character conversation functions could achieve arbitrary code execution.

This update removes support of loadable gconv transliteration modules.
Besides the security vulnerability, the module loading code had functionality defects which prevented it from working for the intended purpose (CVE-2014-5119).

Adhemerval Zanella Netto discovered out-of-bounds reads in additional code page decoding functions (IBM933, IBM935, IBM937, IBM939, IBM1364) that can be used to crash the systems, causing a denial of service conditions (CVE-2014-6040).

The function wordexp() fails to properly handle the WRDE_NOCMD flag when processing arithmetic inputs in the form of '$((... ))' where '...' can be anything valid. The backticks in the arithmetic epxression are evaluated by in a shell even if WRDE_NOCMD forbade command substitution. This allows an attacker to attempt to pass dangerous commands via constructs of the above form, and bypass the WRDE_NOCMD flag. This update fixes the issue (CVE-2014-7817).

The vfprintf function in stdio-common/vfprintf.c in GNU C Library (aka glibc) 2.5, 2.12, and probably other versions does not properly restrict the use of the alloca function when allocating the SPECS array, which allows context-dependent attackers to bypass the FORTIFY_SOURCE format-string protection mechanism and cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted format string using positional parameters and a large number of format specifiers (CVE-2012-3406).

The nss_dns implementation of getnetbyname could run into an infinite loop if the DNS response contained a PTR record of an unexpected format (CVE-2014-9402).

Also glibc lock elision (new feature in glibc 2.18) has been disabled as it can break glibc at runtime on newer Intel hardware (due to hardware bug)

Under certain conditions wscanf can allocate too little memory for the to-be-scanned arguments and overflow the allocated buffer (CVE-2015-1472).

The incorrect use of '__libc_use_alloca (newsize)' caused a different (and weaker) policy to be enforced which could allow a denial of service attack (CVE-2015-1473).

CVE-2012-6656

Fix validation check when converting from ibm930 to utf. When converting IBM930 code with iconv(), if IBM930 code which includes invalid multibyte character '0xffff' is specified, then iconv() segfaults.

CVE-2014-6040

Crashes on invalid input in IBM gconv modules [BZ #17325] These changes are based on the fix for BZ #14134 in commit 6e230d11837f3ae7b375ea69d7905f0d18eb79e5.

CVE-2014-7817

The function wordexp() fails to properly handle the WRDE_NOCMD flag when processing arithmetic inputs in the form of '$((... ``))' where '...' can be anything valid. The backticks in the arithmetic epxression are evaluated by in a shell even if WRDE_NOCMD forbade command substitution. This allows an attacker to attempt to pass dangerous commands via constructs of the above form, and bypass the WRDE_NOCMD flag. This patch fixes this by checking for WRDE_NOCMD in exec_comm(), the only place that can execute a shell. All other checks for WRDE_NOCMD are superfluous and removed.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

glibc has ben updated to fix three security issues :

  - wordexp failed to honour WRDE_NOCMD (bsc#906371).
    (CVE-2014-7817)

  - Fixed invalid file descriptor reuse while sending DNS     query (bsc#915526). (CVE-2013-7423)

  - Fixed buffer overflow in wscanf (bsc#916222) These     non-security issues have been fixed:. (CVE-2015-1472)

  - Remove inaccurate assembler implementations of ceill,     floorl, nearbyintl, roundl, truncl for PowerPC64     (bsc#917072)

  - Don't return IPv4 addresses when looking for IPv6     addresses only (bsc#904461)

- Fix CVE-2014-6040: crash in code page decoding functions     (IBM933, IBM935, IBM937, IBM939, IBM1364)

  - Fix CVE-2014-7817: command execution in wordexp() with     WRDE_NOCMD specified

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

- Fix CVE-2014-7817 glibc: command execution in wordexp()     with WRDE_NOCMD specified

    - Fix CVE-2014-9402 glibc: denial of service in       getnetbyname function

    - CVE-2015-1472 glibc: heap buffer overflow in glibc       swscanf

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Glibc was updated to fix several security issues.

  - Avoid infinite loop in nss_dns getnetbyname     (CVE-2014-9402, bsc#910599, BZ #17630)

  - wordexp fails to honour WRDE_NOCMD (CVE-2014-7817,     bsc#906371, BZ #17625)

  - Fix invalid file descriptor reuse while sending DNS     query (CVE-2013-7423, bsc#915526, BZ #15946)

  - Fix buffer overflow in wscanf (CVE-2015-1472,     bsc#916222, BZ #16618)

Several vulnerabilities have been fixed in eglibc, Debian's version of the GNU C library :

  - CVE-2015-0235     Qualys discovered that the gethostbyname and     gethostbyname2 functions were subject to a buffer     overflow if provided with a crafted IP address argument.
    This could be used by an attacker to execute arbitrary     code in processes which called the affected functions.

  The original glibc bug was reported by Peter Klotz.

  - CVE-2014-7817     Tim Waugh of Red Hat discovered that the WRDE_NOCMD     option of the wordexp function did not suppress command     execution in all cases. This allows a context-dependent     attacker to execute shell commands.

  - CVE-2012-6656 CVE-2014-6040     The charset conversion code for certain IBM multi-byte     code pages could perform an out-of-bounds array access,     causing the process to crash. In some scenarios, this     allows a remote attacker to cause a persistent denial of     service.

The remote OracleVM system is missing necessary patches to address critical security updates :

  - Fix recursive dlopen (#1173469).

  - Fix typo in res_send and res_query (#rh1172023).

  - Fix crashes on invalid input in IBM gconv modules     (CVE-2014-6040, #1139571).

  - Fix wordexp to honour WRDE_NOCMD (CVE-2014-7817,     #1170121).

An out-of-bounds read flaw was found in the way glibc's iconv() function converted certain encoded data to UTF-8. An attacker able to make an application call the iconv() function with a specially crafted argument could use this flaw to crash that application.
(CVE-2014-6040)

It was found that the wordexp() function would perform command substitution even when the WRDE_NOCMD flag was specified. An attacker able to provide specially crafted input to an application using the wordexp() function, and not sanitizing the input correctly, could potentially use this flaw to execute arbitrary commands with the credentials of the user running that application. (CVE-2014-7817)

(CVE-2014-7817)

This update also fixes the following bugs :

  - Previously, when an address lookup using the     getaddrinfo() function for the AF_UNSPEC value was     performed on a defective DNS server, the server in some     cases responded with a valid response for the A record,     but a referral response for the AAAA record, which     resulted in a lookup failure. A prior update was     implemented for getaddrinfo() to return the valid     response, but it contained a typographical error, due to     which the lookup could under some circumstances still     fail. This error has been corrected and getaddrinfo()     now returns a valid response in the described     circumstances.

  - An error in the dlopen() library function previously     caused recursive calls to dlopen() to terminate     unexpectedly or to abort with a library assertion. This     error has been fixed and recursive calls to dlopen() no     longer crash or abort.

Updated glibc packages that fix two security issues and two bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Moderate security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

The glibc packages provide the standard C libraries (libc), POSIX thread libraries (libpthread), standard math libraries (libm), and the Name Server Caching Daemon (nscd) used by multiple programs on the system. Without these libraries, the Linux system cannot function correctly.

Updated glibc package fixes security vulnerability :

The function wordexp fails to properly handle the WRDE_NOCMD flag when processing arithmetic inputs in the form of $((... ``)) where ...
can be anything valid. The backticks in the arithmetic epxression are evaluated by in a shell even if WRDE_NOCMD forbade command substitution. This allows an attacker to attempt to pass dangerous commands via constructs of the above form, and bypass the WRDE_NOCMD flag. This update fixes the issue (CVE-2014-7817).
