Stack-based buffer overflow in asn1_der_decoding in libtasn1 before 4.4 allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via unknown vectors.

According to the versions of the libtasn1 packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way     the libtasn1 library decoded certain DER-encoded     inputs. A specially crafted DER-encoded input could     cause an application using libtasn1 to perform an     invalid read, causing the application to crash.
    (CVE-2015-3622)

  - A stack-based buffer overflow was found in the way     libtasn1 decoded certain DER encoded data. An attacker     could use this flaw to crash an application using the     libtasn1 library. (CVE-2015-2806)

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

An update for libtasn1 is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

Libtasn1 is a library that provides Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1, as specified by the X.680 ITU-T recommendation) parsing and structures management, and Distinguished Encoding Rules (DER, as per X.690) encoding and decoding functions.

The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version:
libtasn1 (4.10). (BZ#1360639)

Security Fix(es) :

* A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the libtasn1 library decoded certain DER-encoded inputs. A specially crafted DER-encoded input could cause an application using libtasn1 to perform an invalid read, causing the application to crash. (CVE-2015-3622)

* A stack-based buffer overflow was found in the way libtasn1 decoded certain DER encoded data. An attacker could use this flaw to crash an application using the libtasn1 library. (CVE-2015-2806)
