SOL15640: GNU C Library (glibc) vulnerabilities CVE-2014-0475, CVE-2014-5119,
CVE-2013-4458
Security AdvisorySecurity Advisory
Original Publication Date: 10/02/2014
Description
CVE-2014-0475
Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in GNU C Library (aka glibc or
libc6) before 2.20 allow context-dependent attackers to bypass ForceCommand
restrictions and possibly have other unspecified impact via a .. (dot dot) in
a (1) LC_*, (2) LANG, or other locale environment variable.
CVE-2014-5119
Off-by-one error in the __gconv_translit_find function in gconv_trans.c in GNU
C Library (aka glibc) allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of
service (crash) or execute arbitrary code via vectors related to the CHARSET
environment variable and gconv transliteration modules.
CVE-2013-4458
Stack-based buffer overflow in the getaddrinfo function in
sysdeps/posix/getaddrinfo.c in GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.18 and
earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a (1)
hostname or (2) IP address that triggers a large number of AF_INET6 address
results. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for
CVE-2013-1914.
Impact
This vulnerability may allow remote attackers to bypass restrictions and
execute arbitrary code or cause a denial-of-service (DoS).
Status
F5 Product Development has assigned ID 476571 (ARX) to this vulnerability, and
has evaluated the currently supported releases for potential vulnerability.
To determine if your release is known to be vulnerable, the components or
features that are affected by the vulnerability, and for information about
releases or hotfixes that address the vulnerability, refer to the following
table:
Product Versions known Versions known to be Vulnerable component
to be vulnerable not vulnerable or feature
ARX 6.0.0 - 6.4.0 None Q Multiple*
*Most ARX components are based on GNU C library code.
Recommended action
If the previous table lists a version in the Versions known to be not
vulnerable column, you can eliminate this vulnerability by upgrading to the
listed version. If the table does not list any version in the column, then no
upgrade candidate currently exists.
