Debian DSA-3676-1 : unadf - security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 93694

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Tuomas Rasanen discovered two vulnerabilities in unADF, a tool to extract files from an Amiga Disk File dump (.adf) :

- CVE-2016-1243 A stack-based buffer overflow in the function extractTree() might allow an attacker, with control on the content of a ADF file, to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the program execution.

- CVE-2016-1244 The unADF extractor creates the path in the destination via a mkdir in a system() call. Since there was no sanitization on the input of the filenames, an attacker can directly inject code in the pathnames of archived directories in an ADF file.

Solution

Upgrade the unadf packages.

For the oldstable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in version 0.7.11a-3+deb7u1.

For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in version 0.7.11a-3+deb8u1.
