Description Jan Lieskovsky 2010-10-24 11:51:09 UTC
Description of problem:

OpenSceneGraph source rpm, as shipped with Fedora-12 contains
embedded copy of lib3ds library (its relevant code parts
vulnerable to CVE-2010-0280 flaw).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
OpenSceneGraph-2.8.2-5.fc12.src.rpm

Additional info:
The relevant code part is located in:

BUILD/OpenSceneGraph-2.8.2/OpenSceneGraph-2.8.2/src/osgPlugins/3ds/mesh.cpp

See also:
[1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2010-0280

and patch from:
[2] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=633475#c4

for further information, how to address this problem.

Also: Please consider the OpenSceneGraph package in Fedora-12
      to use system lib3ds library, which is not vulnerable to this
      flaw already. This is the preferred way of fixing the deficiency,
      as could be helpful also in future cases like this one.

Comment 1 Bug Zapper 2010-11-03 09:20:33 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 12.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '12'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 2 Ralf Corsepius 2010-11-03 14:22:13 UTC
I've applied a patch to fix this issue to f12's git, unfortunately this package fails to build for f12/ppc, seemingly due to issues unrelated to OpenSceneGraph:

c.f. 
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2573653
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2573659
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=2573659&name=build.log

Building for f13, whose source code is identical to the f12 version, succeeds (No surprise, because the ppc has been removed).

Provided f12 is near to its ETA, I am inclined to leave this bug
unaddressed for f12.

Comment 4 Bug Zapper 2010-12-03 12:08:12 UTC
Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
