Debian DLA-1343-1 : ming security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 108904

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Ming :

CVE-2018-6358

Heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the printDefineFont2 function (util/listfdb.c). Remote attackers might leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial of service via a crafted swf file.

CVE-2018-7867

Heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the getString function (util/decompile.c) during a RegisterNumber sprintf. Remote attackers might leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial of service via a crafted swf file.

CVE-2018-7868

Heap-based buffer over-read vulnerability in the getName function (util/decompile.c) for CONSTANT8 data. Remote attackers might leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial of service via a crafted swf file.

CVE-2018-7870

Invalid memory address dereference in the getString function (util/decompile.c) for CONSTANT16 data. Remote attackers might leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial of service via a crafted swf file.

CVE-2018-7871

Heap-based buffer over-read vulnerability in the getName function (util/decompile.c) for CONSTANT16 data. Remote attackers might leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial of service via a crafted swf file.

CVE-2018-7872

Invalid memory address dereference in the getName function (util/decompile.c) for CONSTANT16 data. Remote attackers might leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial of service via a crafted swf file.

CVE-2018-7875

Heap-based buffer over-read vulnerability in the getName function (util/decompile.c) for CONSTANT8 data. Remote attackers might leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial of service via a crafted swf file.

CVE-2018-9165

The pushdup function (util/decompile.c) performs shallow copy of String elements (instead of deep copy), allowing simultaneous change of multiple elements of the stack, which indirectly makes the library vulnerable to a NULL pointer dereference in getName (util/decompile.c). Remote attackers might leverage this vulnerability to cause dos via a crafted swf file.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 0.4.4-1.1+deb7u8.

We recommend that you upgrade your ming packages.

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

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
