Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

libmspack was updated to fix security issues.

These security issues were fixed :

- CVE-2014-9732: The cabd_extract function in cabd.c in libmspack did not properly maintain decompression callbacks in certain cases where an invalid file follows a valid file, which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a crafted CAB archive (bnc#934524).

- CVE-2015-4467: The chmd_init_decomp function in chmd.c in libmspack did not properly validate the reset interval, which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and application crash) via a crafted CHM file (bnc#934525).

- CVE-2015-4468: Multiple integer overflows in the search_chunk function in chmd.c in libmspack allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read and application crash) via a crafted CHM file (bnc#934526).

- CVE-2015-4469: The chmd_read_headers function in chmd.c in libmspack did not validate name lengths, which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read and application crash) via a crafted CHM file (bnc#934526).

- CVE-2015-4470: Off-by-one error in the inflate function in mszipd.c in libmspack allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read and application crash) via a crafted CAB archive (bnc#934527).

- CVE-2015-4471: Off-by-one error in the lzxd_decompress function in lzxd.c in libmspack allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer under-read and application crash) via a crafted CAB archive (bnc#934528).

- CVE-2015-4472: Off-by-one error in the READ_ENCINT macro in chmd.c in libmspack allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted CHM file (bnc#934529).

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