Description David Lawrence 2005-03-30 23:28:28 UTC
kdefax contains it's own libtiff library which contains the libtiff vulnerabilities:

CAN-2004-0803

    Chris Evans discovered several problems in the RLE (run length
    encoding) decoders that could lead to arbitrary code execution.

CAN-2004-0804

    Matthias Clasen discovered a division by zero through an integer
    overflow.

CAN-2004-0886

    Dmitry V. Levin discovered several integer overflows that caused
    malloc issues which can result to either plain crash or memory
    corruption.

Here is an updated kdepgraphics package to QA for fc1:
 
this package should fix:
- - CAN-2004-0803,0803,0886 kdefax libtiff remote code execution
- - compilation under mach
 
notes:
the same patch (or very similar) should work with rh90 package.  but
i figured i'd go ahead and submit these for QA since i'll be away
for a few days.
 
changelog:
* Thu Oct 28 2004 Rob Myers <rob.myers.edu> 7:3.1.4-1.1.legacy
- - add fix to link against system libtiff CAN-2004-0886 (FL #2164)
- - add BuildRequires: autoconf automake arts-devel gnome-libs-devel
- - change %ifarch %{scanner_archs} to %ifnarch s390 s390x

The patch is included in one of the above, and the second is fixed in 3.7.0.
I guess this requires repackaging...

It'll also need to be verified that 0929 is not applicable (ie., kdefax does not
incorporate OJPEG support).

If it would be easy to achieve, I'd consider ripping out the own libtiff
implementation and replacing it with linking.. but the world is not a perfect
place..

am i missing something or don't all the packages i submitted link against the
system libtiff?

Sorry, you're correct, I didn't look at the changelogs closely enough.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

QA for all kdegraphics SRPMS w/ rpm-build-compare:
 - sources are OK
 - spec changes are suitably minimal, buildreqs are OK
 - the patches have been verified to correspond to FC2's update.
 - compilation and building not tested, except RHL9.

On RHL9, I tried to build the package but it at %install for some reason:

[...]
desktop-file-install created an invalid desktop file!
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.96442 (%install)

Longer warning message is below (non-signed).  This may be caused by my
system or not -- I didn't notice any changes to the packaging on this, so if
this would work in mach build, feel free to push it forward.

Hmm.  I guess this should be ready to go to updates-testing if kdefax now uses
system libtiff and is not vulnerable to newer issues?

Should these packages be built for updates-testing?

Or do they need further QA?

AFAIK, these have been waiting building in mach for about half a year now, but
sure if there was a compilation problem or something.  Marc, anything we could
do to help with this?

Comment 3 Marc Deslauriers 2005-09-25 00:16:50 UTC
If I remember correctly, I couldn't get these to build successfully in mach with
the same dependencies. I haven't tried them in a while though.

Revisiting kdegraphics, as we now have additional issues, which you can
see in attachment 124200 [details] from Bug #179804 in column F on lines that say 
"kdegraphics".

But the first issue here, I think, is that I cannot find Rob Myers
original packages.  They were reviewed here and source was discerned to
be okay for RHL7.3, RHL9, and FC1 for letting these packages to be built
for updates-testing, but I don't know where the sources are.  I can't
find them on jane nor anywhere else.  But that may be moot anyway. . . .

IN THE MEANTIME, it appears that Red Hat's kde expert, Ngo Than, appears
to have attempted fixes for RHEL2.1 and RHEL3 that used the system libtiff,
eventually discarding those fixes to instead make internal fixes to the
kdegraphics' package's internal libtiff instead.  Here's the changelog
from the RHEL3 packages from Red Hat's 2005-04-12 announcement of
RHSA-2005-0021 <http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2005-021.html> (RHEL2's
looks very similar):

     * Thu Feb 03 2005 Than Ngo <than> 7:3.1.3-3.7
     - fix internel libtiff instead using system libtiff

     * Thu Dec 09 2004 Than Ngo <than> 7:3.1.3-3.6
     - backport CVS patch to fix kfax for using fax2ps and tiff2ps
       directly instead own old libtiff
     - backport CVS patch to fix kfax crash

     * Fri Oct 29 2004 Than Ngo <than> 7:3.1.3-3.5
     - fix buildprereq on s390/s390x

     * Wed Oct 12 2004 Than Ngo <than> 7:3.1.3-3.4
     - Fix kfax to use system libtiff
     - Add missing Prereq /sbin/ldconfig

SO, since Rob's packages are lost, and Red Hat decided to go a different
direction than Rob did anyway, my thought would be to toss this bug report
and start with a new, fresh bug report and fresh kdegraphics packages,
using Red Hat's patches for the CAN-2004-{0803,0804,0886} issues we had
handled here, and then adding the new patches in that new bug report.
That'll get rid of a lot of cruft for folks to have to sort through...

What do you all think???


Comment 5 Marc Deslauriers 2006-02-08 04:35:14 UTC
That would probably be the best way to go. You've got my vote.

Comment 6 Pekka Savola 2006-02-09 09:38:41 UTC
Sure, the closer we're to upstream, the better.

Comment 7 rob 2006-02-09 13:30:03 UTC
i didn't realize those packages had become unavailable.  that should be resolved
now in case they are needed for reference.  sorry for the inconvenience.

Comment 8 David Eisenstein 2006-03-07 02:39:20 UTC
Thanks, Rob!  We may need them!

Comment 9 David Eisenstein 2007-04-12 00:06:58 UTC
Red Hat Linux and Fedora Core releases <=4 are now completely unmaintained.
These bugs can't be fixed in these versions. If the issue still persists in
current Fedora Core releases, please reopen.  Thank you, and sorry about this.
