{"id":"MGASA-2017-0321","summary":"Updated botan packages fix security vulnerabilities","details":"While decoding BER length fields, an integer overflow could occur. This\ncould occur while parsing untrusted inputs such as X.509 certificates.\nThe overflow  does not seem to lead to any obviously exploitable\ncondition, but exploitation cannot be positively ruled out. Only 32-bit\nplatforms are likely affected; to cause an overflow on 64-bit the parsed\ndata would have to be many gigabytes (CVE-2016-9132).\n\nAleksandar Nikolic discovered that an error in the x509 parser of the\nBotan crypto library could result in an out-of-bounds memory read,\nresulting in denial of service or an information leak if processing a\nmalformed certificate (CVE-2017-2801).\n","modified":"2026-04-16T06:24:31.363667594Z","published":"2017-09-01T21:10:29Z","upstream":["CVE-2016-9132","CVE-2017-2801"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2017-0321.html"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20014"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://botan.randombit.net/security.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/Z2Y3JLMTE3VIV4X5X6SXVZTJBDDLCS3D/"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.debian.org/security/2017/dsa-3939"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"botan","ecosystem":"Mageia:5","purl":"pkg:rpm/mageia/botan?arch=source&distro=mageia-5"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.10.14-1.mga5"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"section":"core"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2017-0321.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","credits":[{"name":"Mageia","contact":["https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Packages_Security_Team"],"type":"COORDINATOR"}]}
