-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - --------------------------------------------------------------------- Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: An updated lha package fixes security vulnerability Advisory ID: RHSA-2004:323-01 Issue date: 2004-09-01 Updated on: 2004-09-01 Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Obsoletes: RHSA-2004:178 CVE Names: CAN-2004-0769 CAN-2004-0771 CAN-2004-0694 CAN-2004-0745 - --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Summary: An updated lha package that fixes a buffer overflow is now available. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 3 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Desktop version 3 - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64 3. Problem description: LHA is an archiving and compression utility for LHarc format archives. Lukasz Wojtow discovered a stack-based buffer overflow in all versions of lha up to and including version 1.14. A carefully created archive could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code when a victim extracts or tests the archive. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0769 to this issue. Buffer overflows were discovered in the command line processing of all versions of lha up to and including version 1.14. If a malicious user could trick a victim into passing a specially crafted command line to the lha command, it is possible that arbitrary code could be executed. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the names CAN-2004-0771 and CAN-2004-0694 to these issues. Thomas Biege discovered a shell meta character command execution vulnerability in all versions of lha up to and including 1.14. An attacker could create a directory with shell meta characters in its name which could lead to arbitrary command execution. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0745 to this issue. Users of lha should update to this updated package which contains backported patches and is not vulnerable to these issues. 4.
