{"id":"MGASA-2022-0076","summary":"Updated util-linux packages fix security vulnerability","details":"An integer overflow in util-linux through 2.37.1 can potentially cause a\nbuffer overflow if an attacker were able to use system resources in a way\nthat leads to a large number in the /proc/sysvipc/sem file. NOTE: this is\nunexploitable in GNU C Library environments, and possibly in all realistic\nenvironments. (CVE-2021-37600)\n\nUnauthorized unmount of FUSE filesystems belonging to users with similar\nuid. (CVE-2021-3995)\n\nUnauthorized unmount of filesystems in libmount (CVE-2021-3996)\n\nA flaw was found in the util-linux chfn and chsh utilities when compiled\nwith Readline support. The Readline library uses an \"INPUTRC\" environment\nvariable to get a path to the library config file. When the library cannot\nparse the specified file, it prints an error message containing data from\nthe file. This flaw allows an unprivileged user to read root-owned files,\npotentially leading to privilege escalation. This flaw affects util-linux\nversions prior to 2.37.4. (CVE-2022-0563)\n\nAdditional bug fixes included by updating to version 2.36.2. See release\nnotes for details.\n","modified":"2026-04-16T04:43:33.004580968Z","published":"2022-02-22T20:15:16Z","upstream":["CVE-2021-37600","CVE-2021-3995","CVE-2021-3996","CVE-2022-0563"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2022-0076.html"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29565"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.suse.com/pipermail/sle-security-updates/2021-October/009610.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2022/01/24/2"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.debian.org/security/2022/dsa-5055"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/SW73IARDAP7WWQ6ETYQB2OS2SLW4XTT3/"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-5279-1"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/2YUFRTN7YYS4ESW372SWK2PURGSGVDL4/"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2022/02/17/2"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/v2.36/v2.36.2-ReleaseNotes"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/v2.36/v2.36.2-ReleaseNotes"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"util-linux","ecosystem":"Mageia:8","purl":"pkg:rpm/mageia/util-linux?arch=source&distro=mageia-8"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2.36.2-1.mga8"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"section":"core"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2022-0076.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","credits":[{"name":"Mageia","contact":["https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Packages_Security_Team"],"type":"COORDINATOR"}]}
