#619686 #627014
Advisory

Affected packages

PackageArchVulnerableUnaffected
dev-libs/libtasn1*< 4.12-r1>= 4.12-r1

Background

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.

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in GNU Libtasn1. Please review the referenced CVE identifiers for details.

Impact

A remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the process, cause a Denial of Service condition, or have other unspecified impacts.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All GNU Libtasn1 users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/libtasn1-4.12-r1"

Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying some of these packages.

PackageArchVulnerableUnaffected
dev-libs/libtasn1*< 4.8>= 4.8

Background

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.

Description

Libtasn1 does not correctly handle certain malformed DER certificates.

Impact

A remote attacker could entice a user or automated system to process a specially crafted certificate using Libtasn1, resulting in a Denial of Service condition.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All Libtasn1 users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/libtasn1-4.8"

Affected packages

PackageArchVulnerableUnaffected
dev-libs/libtasn1*< 2.12>= 2.12

Background

Libtasn1 is a library used to parse ASN.1 (Abstract Syntax Notation One) objects, and perform DER (Distinguished Encoding Rules) decoding.

Description

Libtasn1 does not properly handle length fields when performing DER decoding.

Impact

A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted DER-encoded object in an application linked against Libtasn1, possibly resulting in Denial of Service.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All Libtasn1 users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/libtasn1-2.12"

dev-libs/libtasn1*< 0.2.18>= 0.2.18
net-libs/gnutls*< 1.2.10>= 1.2.10

Background

Libtasn1 is a library used to parse ASN.1 (Abstract Syntax Notation One) objects, and perform DER (Distinguished Encoding Rules) decoding. Libtasn1 is included with the GNU TLS library, which is used by applications to provide a cryptographically secure communications channel.

Description

Evgeny Legerov has reported a flaw in the DER decoding routines provided by libtasn1, which could cause an out of bounds access to occur.

Impact

A remote attacker could cause an application using libtasn1 to crash and potentially execute arbitrary code by sending specially crafted input.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All libtasn1 users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/libtasn1-0.2.18"

All GNU TLS users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
