ASA-201802-10: strongswan: denial of service

Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-201802-10
==========================================

Severity: Medium
Date : 2018-02-21
CVE-ID : CVE-2018-6459
Package : strongswan
Type : denial of service
Remote : Yes
Link : https://security.archlinux.org/AVG-625

Summary
=======

The package strongswan before version 5.6.2-1 is vulnerable to denial
of service.

Resolution
==========

Upgrade to 5.6.2-1.

# pacman -Syu "strongswan>=5.6.2-1"

The problem has been fixed upstream in version 5.6.2.

Workaround
==========

None.

Description
===========

The rsa_pss_params_parse function in
libstrongswan/credentials/keys/signature_params.c before strongSwan
5.6.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a
crafted RSASSA-PSS signature that lacks a mask generation function
parameter.

Impact
======

A remote attacker is able to crash the application by providing a
maliciously-crafted signature.

Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-201802-9
=========================================

Severity: Critical
Date : 2018-02-20
CVE-ID : CVE-2017-6419 CVE-2017-11423
Package : libmspack
Type : multiple issues
Remote : Yes
Link : https://security.archlinux.org/AVG-603

Summary
=======

The package libmspack before version 1:0.6alpha-1 is vulnerable to
multiple issues including arbitrary code execution and denial of
service.

Resolution
==========

Upgrade to 1:0.6alpha-1.

# pacman -Syu "libmspack>=1:0.6alpha-1"

The problems have been fixed upstream in version 0.6alpha.

Workaround
==========

None.

Description
===========

- CVE-2017-6419 (arbitrary code execution)

mspack/lzxd.c in libmspack 0.5alpha, as used in ClamAV before 0.99.3,
allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer
overflow and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via
a crafted CHM file.

- CVE-2017-11423 (denial of service)

The cabd_read_string function in mspack/cabd.c in libmspack 0.5alpha,
as used in ClamAV before 0.99.3 and other products, allows remote
attackers to cause a denial of service (stack-based buffer over-read
and application crash) via a crafted CAB file.

Impact
======

A remote attacker is able to crash the application or execute arbitrary
code by providing a maliciously-crafted file.
