Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2015-064

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2015-064
Posted Mar 27, 2015
Authored by Mandriva | Site mandriva.com

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2015-064 - Libmspack, a library to provide compression and decompression of some file formats used by Microsoft, is embedded in cabextract. A specially crafted cab file can cause cabextract to hang forever. If cabextract is exposed to any remotely-controlled user input, this issue can cause a denial-of-service. A directory traversal issue in cabextract allows writing to locations outside of the current working directory, when extracting a crafted cab file that encodes the filenames in a certain manner.

Problem Description:

Updated cabextract packages fix security vulnerabilities:

Libmspack, a library to provide compression and decompression of
some file formats used by Microsoft, is embedded in cabextract. A
specially crafted cab file can cause cabextract to hang forever. If
cabextract is exposed to any remotely-controlled user input, this
issue can cause a denial-of-service (CVE-2014-9556).

A directory traversal issue in cabextract allows writing to locations
outside of the current working directory, when extracting a crafted cab
file that encodes the filenames in a certain manner (CVE-2015-2060).
