Apologies if there is already a tracker bug for this, I couldn't find one. The GitHub Security team have disclosed CVE-2023-43641, which is a memory corruption bug in libcue. Kevin Backhouse from GitHub has done a great writeup on https://github.blog/2023-10-09-coordinated-disclosure-1-click-rce-on-gnome-cve-2023-43641/ Short summary: When you download a file to ~/Downloads, tracker-miners tries to parse it with libcue. libcue is not properly validating the input, and this allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code. Fedora 39/40 already has the patched version of tracker-miners (https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2023-8277fcd2c6). I'm going to raise a bug on their side and suggest they backport the fix. I'm also planning to raise a PR on libcue to apply Kevin's patch, and apply for a 39 FinalFreezeException for it.
Proposed as a Freeze Exception for 39-final by Fedora user thebeanogamer using the blocker tracking app because: This vulnerability allows an attacker to take execute arbitrary code on a user's device by downloading a file. tracker-miners have hardened their side, but we should deploy the real fix. As this can be fixed by a package update, and we don't run Gnome in the installer, I've got for FE instead of Blocker. I'm happy to update this if incorrect.
See above, I've raised a BlockerBug for this. https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libcue/pull-request/2 should be ready to merge. As mentioned on there, I'd recommend applying this to every branch. I've also created bug 2242946 to cover the tracker-miners side. Please let me know if there's anything else I can do to help with this.
+5 in https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/blocker-review/issue/1395 , marking accepted FE. This may even be a blocker - we do have the GNOME-based Workstation live image, after all, and it *is* possible to use the live image as a working environment.
Gonna at least propose this as a blocker for now, so we remember to consider it before shipping anything.
