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.

Updated gcc packages that fix two security issues and several compiler bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having low 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 gcc packages include C, C++, Java, Fortran, Objective C, and Ada 95 GNU compilers, along with related support libraries. The libgcj package provides fastjar, an archive tool for Java Archive (JAR) files.

Two directory traversal flaws were found in the way fastjar extracted JAR archive files. If a local, unsuspecting user extracted a specially crafted JAR file, it could cause fastjar to overwrite arbitrary files writable by the user running fastjar. (CVE-2010-0831, CVE-2010-2322)

This update also fixes the following bugs :

* The option -print-multi-os-directory in the gcc --help output is not in the gcc(1) man page. This update applies an upstream patch to amend this. (BZ#529659)

* An internal assertion in the compiler tried to check that a C++ static data member is external which resulted in errors. This was because when the compiler optimizes C++ anonymous namespaces the declarations were no longer marked external as everything on anonymous namespaces is local to the current translation. This update corrects the assertion to resolve this issue. (BZ#503565, BZ#508735, BZ#582682)

* Attempting to compile certain .cpp files could have resulted in an internal compiler error. This update resolves this issue. (BZ#527510)

* PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices with an appropriate DocFlavor failed to return a list of printers under gcj. This update includes a backported patch to correct this bug in the printer lookup service.
(BZ#578382)

* GCC would not build against xulrunner-devel-1.9.2. This update removes gcjwebplugin from the GCC RPM. (BZ#596097)

* When a SystemTap generated kernel module was compiled, gcc reported an internal compiler error and gets a segmentation fault. This update applies a patch that, instead of crashing, assumes it can point to anything. (BZ#605803)

* There was a performance issue with libstdc++ regarding all objects derived from or using std::streambuf because of lock contention between threads. This patch ensures reload uses the same value from
_S_global for the comparison, _M_add_reference () and _M_impl member of the class. (BZ#635708)

All gcc users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues.

This fastjar update fixes a directory traversal issue. (bnc#607043)

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.

Dan Rosenberg discovered that fastjar incorrectly handled file paths containing '..' when unpacking archives. If a user or an automated system were tricked into unpacking a specially crafted jar file, arbitrary files could be overwritten with user privileges.

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

A vulnerability has been discovered and corrected in fastjar :

Directory traversal vulnerability in the extract_jar function in jartool.c in FastJar 0.98 allows remote attackers to create or overwrite arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in a non-initial pathname component in a filename within a .jar archive, a related issue to CVE-2005-1080. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2006-3619 (CVE-2010-0831).

Packages for 2008.0 and 2009.0 are provided as of the Extended Maintenance Program. Please visit this link to learn more:
http://store.mandriva.com/product_info.php?cPath=149&amp;products_id=4 90

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

The remote Oracle Linux 5 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2011-0025 advisory.

  - Directory traversal vulnerability in the extract_jar function in jartool.c in FastJar 0.98 allows remote     attackers to create or overwrite arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in a non-initial pathname component in     a filename within a .jar archive, a related issue to CVE-2005-1080. NOTE: this vulnerability exists     because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2006-3619. (CVE-2010-0831)

  - Absolute path traversal vulnerability in the extract_jar function in jartool.c in FastJar 0.98 allows     remote attackers to create or overwrite arbitrary files via a full pathname for a file within a .jar     archive, a related issue to CVE-2010-0831. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix     for CVE-2006-3619. (CVE-2010-2322)

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

Two directory traversal flaws were found in the way fastjar extracted JAR archive files. If a local, unsuspecting user extracted a specially crafted JAR file, it could cause fastjar to overwrite arbitrary files writable by the user running fastjar. (CVE-2010-0831, CVE-2010-2322)

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201209-21 (fastjar: Directory traversal)

    Two directory traversal vulnerabilities have been discovered in fastjar.
      Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted JAR       file, possibly resulting in the creation or truncation of arbitrary       files.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.
