▸ GLSA 202210-15 GDAL: Heap Buffer Overflow this version unaffected low remote 2022-10-31

A heap buffer overflow vulnerability has been found in GDAL which could result in denial of service.

Announced: 2022-10-31
Revised: 2022-10-31
Access: remote
Bugs: #830370
Advisory: https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/202210-15

Affected packages

Package	Arch	Vulnerable	Unaffected
sci-libs/gdal	*	< 3.4.1	>= 3.4.1

Background

GDAL is a geospatial data abstraction library.

Description

GDAL does not sufficiently sanitize input when loading PCIDSK binary segments.

Impact

Loading crafted PCIDSK data via GDAL could result in denial of service.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All GDAL users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sci-libs/gdal-3.4.1"

▸ GLSA 200511-02 QDBM, ImageMagick, GDAL: RUNPATH issues this version unaffected low local 2005-11-02

Multiple packages suffer from RUNPATH issues that may allow users in the "portage" group to escalate privileges.

Announced: 2005-11-02
Revised: 2006-05-22 (revision 2)
Access: local
Bugs: #105717 #105760 #108534
Advisory: https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/200511-02

Affected packages

Package	Arch	Vulnerable	Unaffected
dev-db/qdbm	*	< 1.8.33-r2	>= 1.8.33-r2
media-gfx/imagemagick	*	< 6.2.4.2-r1	>= 6.2.4.2-r1
sci-libs/gdal	*	< 1.3.0-r1	>= 1.3.0-r1, >= 1.2.6-r4 (revision)

Background

QDBM is a library of routines for managing a database. ImageMagick is a collection of tools to read, write and manipulate images. GDAL is a geospatial data abstraction library.

Description

Some packages may introduce insecure paths into the list of directories that are searched for libraries at runtime. Furthermore, packages depending on the MakeMaker Perl module for build configuration may have incorrectly copied the LD_RUN_PATH into the DT_RPATH.

Impact

A local attacker, who is a member of the "portage" group, could create a malicious shared object in the Portage temporary build directory that would be loaded at runtime by a dependent executable, potentially resulting in privilege escalation.

Workaround

Only grant "portage" group rights to trusted users.

Resolution

All QDBM users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-db/qdbm-1.8.33-r2"

All ImageMagick users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-gfx/imagemagick-6.2.4.2-r1"

All GDAL users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose sci-libs/gdal
