Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in the status_handler function in (1) engine-gpgsm.c and (2) engine-uiserver.c in GPGME before 1.5.1 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors related to "different line lengths in a specific order."

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability that has been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - gpgme: heap-based buffer overflow in gpgsm status handler (CVE-2014-3564)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability that has been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - gpgme: heap-based buffer overflow in gpgsm status handler (CVE-2014-3564)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

According to the version of the gpgme package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

  - Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in the     status_handler function in (1) engine-gpgsm.c and (2)     engine-uiserver.c in GPGME before 1.5.1 allow remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and     possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors related to     'different line lengths in a specific     order.'(CVE-2014-3564)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

According to the version of the gpgme package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

  - Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in the     status_handler function in (1) engine-gpgsm.c and (2)     engine-uiserver.c in GPGME before 1.5.1 allow remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and     possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors related to     'different line lengths in a specific     order.'(CVE-2014-3564)

According to the versions of the gpgme package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - GnuPG Made Easy (GPGME) is a library designed to make     access to GnuPG easier for applications. It provides a     high-level crypto API for encryption, decryption,     signing, signature verification and key management.

  - Security fix(es):

Security fix for CVE-2014-3564

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Updated gpgme packages fix security vulnerability :

A heap-based buffer overflow in gpgme before 1.5.1 could allow a specially crafted certificate to cause crashes or potentially cause arbitrary code execution (CVE-2014-3564).

This gpgme update fixes the following security issue :

  - Fix possible overflow in gpgsm and uiserver engines     (CVE-2014-3564). (bnc#890123)

This gpgme update to version 1.4.4 fixes the following security and non i security issues :

  - Fixed possible overflow in gpgsm and uiserver engines.
    (CVE-2014-3564, bnc#890123)

  - Fixed possibled segv in gpgme_op_card_edit.

  - Fixed minor memleaks and possible zombie processes.

  - Fixed prototype inconsistencies and void pointer     arithmetic.

Tomas Trnka discovered a heap-based buffer overflow within the gpgsm status handler of GPGME, a library designed to make access to GnuPG easier for applications. An attacker could use this issue to cause an application using GPGME to crash (denial of service) or possibly to execute arbitrary code.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-2307-1 advisory.

    Tom Trnka discovered that GPGME incorrectly handled certain certificate line lengths. An attacker     could use this issue to cause applications using GPGME to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or     possibly execute arbitrary code.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Tomas Trnka reports :

Gpgme contains a buffer overflow in the gpgsm status handler that could possibly be exploited using a specially crafted certificate.
