Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-202106-27
==========================================
Severity: Medium
Date : 2021-06-09
CVE-ID : CVE-2021-3578
Package : isync
Type : arbitrary code execution
Remote : Yes
Link : https://security.archlinux.org/AVG-2042
Summary
=======
The package isync before version 1.4.2-1 is vulnerable to arbitrary
code execution.
Resolution
==========
Upgrade to 1.4.2-1.
# pacman -Syu "isync>=1.4.2-1"
The problem has been fixed upstream in version 1.4.2.
Workaround
==========
None.
Description
===========
A security issue was found in mbsync before version 1.4.2, where an
unchecked pointer cast allows a malicious or compromised server to
write an arbitrary integer value past the end of a heap-allocated
structure by issuing an unexpected APPENDUID response. This could be
plausibly exploited for remote code execution on the client.
Impact
======
A remote server could cause arbitrary code execution on the mbsync
client using a crafted APPENDUID response.
