Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-201707-20
==========================================
Severity: Medium
Date : 2017-07-18
CVE-ID : CVE-2017-7186 CVE-2017-7244 CVE-2017-7245 CVE-2017-7246
Package : pcre
Type : multiple issues
Remote : Yes
Link : https://security.archlinux.org/AVG-222
Summary
=======
The package pcre before version 8.41-1 is vulnerable to multiple issues
including denial of service and arbitrary code execution.
Resolution
==========
Upgrade to 8.41-1.
# pacman -Syu "pcre>=8.41-1"
The problems have been fixed upstream in version 8.41.
Workaround
==========
None.
Description
===========
- CVE-2017-7186 (denial of service)
libpcre1 in PCRE 8.40 and libpcre2 in PCRE2 10.23 allow remote
attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation violation for read
access, and application crash) by triggering an invalid Unicode
property lookup.
- CVE-2017-7244 (denial of service)
A stack-based read buffer overflow has been found in libpcre <= 8.40,
in the pcretest utility. It can lead to denial of service via a crafted
expression passed to the pcretest command.
- CVE-2017-7245 (arbitrary code execution)
A stack-based write buffer overflow has been found in libpcre <= 8.40,
in the pcretest utility. It can lead to arbitrary code execution via a
crafted expression passed to the pcretest command.
- CVE-2017-7246 (arbitrary code execution)
A stack-based write buffer overflow has been found in libpcre <= 8.40,
in the pcretest utility. It can lead to arbitrary code execution via a
crafted expression passed to the pcretest command.
Impact
======
An attacker can execute arbitrary code on the affected host by tricking
a user into passing a crafted expression to the pcretest command. A
remote attacker can cause a denial of service against an application
using libpcre via a crafted expression.
