Title: CherryPy: Directory traversal vulnerability
Date: May 30, 2006
Bugs: #134273
ID: 200605-16

Synopsis

CherryPy is vulnerable to a directory traversal that could allow attackers to read arbitrary files.

Background

CherryPy is a Python-based, object-oriented web development framework.

Affected packages

     Package              /  Vulnerable  /                  Unaffected

  1  dev-python/cherrypy       < 2.1.1                        >= 2.1.1

Description

Ivo van der Wijk discovered that the "staticfilter" component of CherryPy fails to sanitize input correctly.

Impact

An attacker could exploit this flaw to obtain arbitrary files from the web server.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All CherryPy users should upgrade to the latest version:

    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-python/cherrypy-2.1.1"

Severity: Normal
Title: libTIFF: Multiple vulnerabilities
Date: May 30, 2006
Bugs: #129675
ID: 200605-17

Synopsis

Multiple vulnerabilities in libTIFF could lead to the execution of arbitrary code or a Denial of Service.

Background

libTIFF provides support for reading and manipulating TIFF images.

Affected packages

     Package          /  Vulnerable  /                      Unaffected

  1  media-libs/tiff       < 3.8.1                            >= 3.8.1

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities, ranging from integer overflows and NULL pointer dereferences to double frees, were reported in libTIFF.

Impact

An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by enticing a user to open a specially crafted TIFF image, possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary code or a Denial of Service.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All libTIFF users should upgrade to the latest version:

    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/tiff-3.8.1"

Mandriva Linux

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDKSA-2006:093
http://www.mandriva.com/security/

Package : dia
Date : May 30, 2006
Affected: 2006.0, Corporate 3.0

Problem Description:

A format string vulnerability in Dia allows user-complicit attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code by triggering errors or warnings, as demonstrated via format string specifiers in a .bmp filename. NOTE: the original exploit was demonstrated through a command line argument, but there are other mechanisms inputs that are automatically process by Dia, such as a crafted .dia file. (CVE-2006-2480)

Multiple unspecified format string vulnerabilities in Dia have unspecified impact and attack vectors, a different set of issues than CVE-2006-2480. (CVE-2006-2453)

Packages have been patched to correct this issue.
