Affected packages

PackageArchVulnerableUnaffected
sys-fs/squashfs-tools*< 4.5_p20210914>= 4.5_p20210914

Background

Squashfs is a compressed read-only filesystem for Linux. Squashfs is intended for general read-only filesystem use, for archival use (i.e. in cases where a .tar.gz file may be used), and in constrained block device/memory systems (e.g. embedded systems) where low overhead is needed.

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in squashfs-tools. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.

Impact

Please review the referenced CVE identifiers for details.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All squashfs-tools users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-fs/squashfs-tools-4.5_p20210914"

Affected packages

PackageArchVulnerableUnaffected
sys-fs/squashfs-tools*< 4.3-r1>= 4.3-r1

Background

Squashfs is a compressed read-only filesystem for Linux. Squashfs is intended for general read-only filesystem use, for archival use (i.e. in cases where a .tar.gz file may be used), and in constrained block device/memory systems (e.g. embedded systems) where low overhead is needed.

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in SQUASHFS. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.

Impact

Remote attackers, by enticing a user to process a specially crafted SQUASHFS image, could execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the process.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All SQUASHFS users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-fs/squashfs-tools-4.3-r1"

Advisory
https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/201612-40

Affected packages

PackageArchVulnerableUnaffected
sys-fs/squashfs-tools*< 4.3>= 4.3

Background

Squashfs is a compressed read-only filesystem for Linux. Squashfs is intended for general read-only filesystem use, for archival use (i.e. in cases where a .tar.gz file may be used), and in constrained block device/memory systems (e.g. embedded systems) where low overhead is needed.

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in SQUASHFS. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.

Impact

A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted .sqsh file using unsquashfs; possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process, or a Denial of Service condition.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All squashfs-tools users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-fs/squashfs-tools-4.3"
