Descriptions

Heap-based buffer overflow in the rmt_read__ function in lib/rtapelib.c in the rmt client functionality in GNU tar before 1.23 and GNU cpio before 2.11 allows remote rmt servers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly execute arbitrary code by sending more data than was requested, related to archive filenames that contain a : (colon) character.

Desbordamiento de búfer basado en pila en la función rmt_read__ en lib/rtapelib.c en la funcionalidad de cliente rmt en GNU tar anterior v1.23 y GNU cpio anterior v2.11 permite a servidores rmt remotos causar una denegación de servicio (caída de memoria) o probablemente ejecutar código de su elección con el envío de más datos de los requeridos, relacionado con nombre de ficheros que contienen el caracter : (dos puntos).

Michal Zalewski discovered an out of bounds write issue in the process_copy_in function of GNU cpio. An attacker could specially craft a cpio archive that could create a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. Jakob Lell discovered a heap-based buffer overflow in the rmt_read__ function of GNU cpio's rmt client functionality. An attacker controlling a remote rmt server could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Various other issues were also addressed.
