Stack-based buffer overflow in the getaddrinfo function in sysdeps/posix/getaddrinfo.c in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via vectors involving hostent conversion. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2013-4458.

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

  - GNU Libc current is affected by: Re-mapping current     loaded library with malicious ELF file. The impact is:
    In worst case attacker may evaluate privileges. The     component is: libld. The attack vector is: Attacker     sends 2 ELF files to victim and asks to run ldd on it.
    ldd execute code. NOTE: Upstream comments indicate     'this is being treated as a non-security bug and no     real threat.'(CVE-2019-1010023)

  - Stack-based buffer overflow in the getaddrinfo function     in sysdeps/posix/getaddrinfo.c in the GNU C Library     (aka glibc or libc6) allows remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (crash) via vectors involving hostent     conversion. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of     an incomplete fix for CVE-2013-4458.(CVE-2016-3706)

  - The iconv feature in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or     libc6) through 2.32, when processing invalid multi-byte     input sequences in the EUC-KR encoding, may have a     buffer over-read.(CVE-2019-25013)

  - The iconv function in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or     libc6) 2.32 and earlier, when processing invalid input     sequences in the ISO-2022-JP-3 encoding, fails an     assertion in the code path and aborts the program,     potentially resulting in a denial of     service.(CVE-2021-3326)

  - The iconv function in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or     libc6) 2.32 and earlier, when processing invalid     multi-byte input sequences in IBM1364, IBM1371,     IBM1388, IBM1390, and IBM1399 encodings, fails to     advance the input state, which could lead to an     infinite loop in applications, resulting in a denial of     service, a different vulnerability from     CVE-2016-10228.(CVE-2020-27618)

  - The makecontext function in the GNU C Library (aka     glibc or libc6) before 2.25 creates execution contexts     incompatible with the unwinder on ARM EABI (32-bit)     platforms, which might allow context-dependent     attackers to cause a denial of service (hang), as     demonstrated by applications compiled using gccgo,     related to backtrace generation.(CVE-2016-6323)

  - Use-after-free vulnerability in the clntudp_call     function in sunrpc/clnt_udp.c in the GNU C Library (aka     glibc or libc6) before 2.26 allows remote attackers to     have unspecified impact via vectors related to error     path.(CVE-2017-12133)

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

  - The glibc package contains standard libraries which are     used by multiple programs on the system. In order to     save disk space and memory, as well as to make     upgrading easier, common system code is kept in one     place and shared between programs. This particular     package contains the most important sets of shared     libraries: the standard C library and the standard math     library. Without these two libraries, a Linux system     will not function.Security Fix(es):Stack-based buffer     overflow in the getaddrinfo function in     sysdeps/posix/getaddrinfo.c in the GNU C Library (aka     glibc or libc6) allows remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (crash) via vectors involving hostent     conversion. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of     an incomplete fix for CVE-2013-4458.(CVE-2016-3706)In     the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) through 2.29,     check_dst_limits_calc_pos_1 in posix/regexec.c has     Uncontrolled Recursion, as demonstrated by     '(|)(\\1\\1)*' in grep, a different issue than     CVE-2018-20796. NOTE: the software maintainer disputes     that this is a vulnerability because the behavior     occurs only with a crafted pattern.(CVE-2019-9192)In     the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) through 2.29,     check_dst_limits_calc_pos_1 in posix/regexec.c has     Uncontrolled Recursion, as demonstrated by     '(\227|)(\\1\\1|t1|\\\2537)+' in     grep.(CVE-2018-20796)GNU Libc current is affected by:

The     attack vector is: Attacker sends 2 ELF files to victim     and asks to run ldd on it. ldd execute     code.(CVE-2019-1010023)A use-after-free vulnerability     introduced in glibc upstream version 2.14 was found in     the way the tilde expansion was carried out. Directory     paths containing an initial tilde followed by a valid     username were affected by this issue. A local attacker     could exploit this flaw by creating a specially crafted     path that, when processed by the glob function, would     potentially lead to arbitrary code execution. This was     fixed in version 2.32.(CVE-2020-1752)The GNU C Library     (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.32 could overflow an     on-stack buffer during range reduction if an input to     an 80-bit long double function contains a non-canonical     bit pattern, a seen when passing a     0x5d414141414141410000 value to sinl on x86 targets.
    This is related to     sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-96/e_rem_pio2l.c.(CVE-2020-10029)

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04, has glibc packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - The GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.27     contains an off-by-one error leading to a heap-based     buffer overflow in the glob function in glob.c, related     to the processing of home directories using the ~     operator followed by a long string. (CVE-2017-15670)

  - The DNS stub resolver in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or     libc6) before version 2.26, when EDNS support is     enabled, will solicit large UDP responses from name     servers, potentially simplifying off-path DNS spoofing     attacks due to IP fragmentation. (CVE-2017-12132)

  - The glob function in glob.c in the GNU C Library (aka     glibc or libc6) before 2.27 contains a buffer overflow     during unescaping of user names with the ~ operator.
    (CVE-2017-15804)

  - res_query in libresolv in glibc before 2.25 allows     remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL     pointer dereference and process crash). (CVE-2015-5180)

  - The nss_dns implementation of getnetbyname in GNU C     Library (aka glibc) before 2.21, when the DNS backend in     the Name Service Switch configuration is enabled, allows     remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite     loop) by sending a positive answer while a network name     is being process. (CVE-2014-9402)

  - In glibc 2.26 and earlier there is confusion in the     usage of getcwd() by realpath() which can be used to     write before the destination buffer leading to a buffer     underflow and potential code execution.
    (CVE-2018-1000001)

  - Stack-based buffer overflow in the getaddrinfo function     in sysdeps/posix/getaddrinfo.c in the GNU C Library (aka     glibc or libc6) allows remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (crash) via vectors involving hostent     conversion. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of     an incomplete fix for CVE-2013-4458. (CVE-2016-3706)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

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

  - stdlib/canonicalize.c in the GNU C Library (aka glibc     or libc6) 2.27 and earlier, when processing very long     pathname arguments to the realpath function, could     encounter an integer overflow on 32-bit architectures,     leading to a stack-based buffer overflow and,     potentially, arbitrary code execution.(CVE-2018-11236)

  - An integer overflow vulnerability was found in     hcreate() and hcreate_r() functions which could result     in an out-of-bounds memory access. This could lead to     application crash or, potentially, arbitrary code     execution.(CVE-2015-8778)

  - A stack-based buffer overflow was found in the way the     libresolv library performed dual A/AAAA DNS queries. A     remote attacker could create a specially crafted DNS     response which could cause libresolv to crash or,     potentially, execute code with the permissions of the     user running the library. Note: this issue is only     exposed when libresolv is called from the nss_dns NSS     service module.(CVE-2015-7547)

  - A flaw was found in the regular expression matching     routines that process multibyte character input. If an     application utilized the glibc regular expression     matching mechanism, an attacker could provide     specially-crafted input that, when processed, would     cause the application to crash.(CVE-2013-0242)

  - A flaw was found in the way memory was being allocated     on the stack for user space binaries. If heap (or     different memory region) and stack memory regions were     adjacent to each other, an attacker could use this flaw     to jump over the stack guard gap, cause controlled     memory corruption on process stack or the adjacent     memory region, and thus increase their privileges on     the system. This is glibc-side mitigation which blocks     processing of LD_LIBRARY_PATH for programs running in     secure-execution mode and reduces the number of     allocations performed by the processing of LD_AUDIT,     LD_PRELOAD, and LD_HWCAP_MASK, making successful     exploitation of this issue more     difficult.(CVE-2017-1000366)

  - The DNS stub resolver in the GNU C Library (aka glibc     or libc6) before version 2.26, when EDNS support is     enabled, will solicit large UDP responses from name     servers, potentially simplifying off-path DNS spoofing     attacks due to IP fragmentation.(CVE-2017-12132)

  - It was found that the files back end of Name Service     Switch (NSS) did not isolate iteration over an entire     database from key-based look-up API calls. An     application performing look-ups on a database while     iterating over it could enter an infinite loop, leading     to a denial of service.(CVE-2014-8121)

  - Stack-based buffer overflow in the getaddrinfo function     in sysdeps/posix/getaddrinfo.c in the GNU C Library     (aka glibc or libc6) allows remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (crash) via vectors involving hostent     conversion. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of     an incomplete fix for CVE-2013-4458.(CVE-2016-3706)

  - In glibc 2.26 and earlier there is confusion in the     usage of getcwd() by realpath() which can be used to     write before the destination buffer leading to a buffer     underflow and potential code     execution.(CVE-2018-1000001)

  - Stack-based buffer overflow in string/strcoll_l.c in     the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.17 and earlier     allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of     service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via     a long string that triggers a malloc failure and use of     the alloca function.(CVE-2012-4424)

  - It was found that the dynamic loader did not sanitize     the LD_POINTER_GUARD environment variable. An attacker     could use this flaw to bypass the pointer guarding     protection on set-user-ID or set-group-ID programs to     execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user     running the application.(CVE-2015-8777)

  - The glob function in glob.c in the GNU C Library (aka     glibc or libc6) before 2.27 contains a buffer overflow     during unescaping of user names with the ~     operator.(CVE-2017-15804)

  - res_query in libresolv in glibc before 2.25 allows     remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL     pointer dereference and process crash).(CVE-2015-5180)

  - pt_chown in GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before     2.18 does not properly check permissions for tty files,     which allows local users to change the permission on     the files and obtain access to arbitrary     pseudo-terminals by leveraging a FUSE file     system.(CVE-2013-2207)

  - A stack overflow flaw was found in glibc's swscanf()     function. An attacker able to make an application call     the swscanf() function could use this flaw to crash     that application or, potentially, execute arbitrary     code with the permissions of the user running the     application.(CVE-2015-1473)

  - It was found that getaddrinfo() did not limit the     amount of stack memory used during name resolution. An     attacker able to make an application resolve an     attacker-controlled hostname or IP address could     possibly cause the application to exhaust all stack     memory and crash.(CVE-2013-4458)

  - A heap-based buffer overflow was found in glibc's
    __nss_hostname_digits_dots() function, which is used by     the gethostbyname() and gethostbyname2() glibc function     calls. A remote attacker able to make an application     call either of these functions could use this flaw to     execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user     running the application.(CVE-2015-0235)

  - Multiple integer overflow flaws, leading to heap-based     buffer overflows, were found in glibc's memory     allocator functions (pvalloc, valloc, and memalign). If     an application used such a function, it could cause the     application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary     code with the privileges of the user running the     application.(CVE-2013-4332)

  - An integer overflow in the implementation of the     posix_memalign in memalign functions in the GNU C     Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.26 and earlier could     cause these functions to return a pointer to a heap     area that is too small, potentially leading to heap     corruption.(CVE-2018-6485)

  - A stack based buffer overflow vulnerability was found     in the catopen() function. An excessively long string     passed to the function could cause it to crash or,     potentially, execute arbitrary code.(CVE-2015-8779)

This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-12-SP1:Update update project.

This update for glibc fixes the following issues :

  - glob-altdirfunc.patch: Do not copy d_name field of     struct dirent (CVE-2016-1234, boo#969727, BZ #19779)

  - nss-dns-memleak-2.patch: fix memory leak in
    _nss_dns_gethostbyname4_r (boo#973010)

  - nss-dns-getnetbyname.patch: fix stack overflow in
    _nss_dns_getnetbyname_r (CVE-2016-3075, boo#973164, BZ     #19879)

  - getaddrinfo-hostent-conv-stack-overflow.patch:
    getaddrinfo stack overflow in hostent conversion     (CVE-2016-3706, boo#980483, BZ #20010)

  - clntudp-call-alloca.patch: do not use alloca in     clntudp_call (CVE-2016-4429, boo#980854, BZ #20112)

Several vulnerabilities have been fixed in the Debian GNU C Library, eglibc :

CVE-2016-1234

Alexander Cherepanov discovered that the glibc's glob implementation suffered from a stack-based buffer overflow when it was called with the GLOB_ALTDIRFUNC flag and encountered a long file name.

CVE-2016-3075

The getnetbyname implementation in nss_dns was susceptible to a stack overflow and a crash if it was invoked on a very long name.

CVE-2016-3706

Michael Petlan reported that getaddrinfo copied large amounts of address data to the stack, possibly leading to a stack overflow. This complements the fix for CVE-2013-4458.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 2.13-38+deb7u11.

We recommend you to upgrade your eglibc packages.
