Debian DLA-631-1 : unadf security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 93612

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It was discovered that there were two vulnerabilities in unadf, a tool to extract files from an Amiga Disk File dump (.adf) :

- CVE-2016-1243: stack-based buffer overflow caused by blindly trusting on pathname lengths of archived files.

Stack allocated buffer sysbuf was filled with sprintf() without any bounds checking in extracTree() function.

- CVE-2016-1244: execution of unsanitized input

Shell command used for creating directory paths was constructed by concatenating names of archived files to the end of the command string.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', this issue has been fixed in unadf version 0.7.11a-3+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your unadf 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 unadf package.
