moderate: lz4/cpio security update
moderate
An update for lz4/cpio is now available for NewStart CGSL MAIN 6.06.
NewStart Security has rated this update as having a security impact of moderate. A Common Vunlnerability Scoring System(CVSS)base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVElink(s) in the References section.
lz4: LZ4 is an extremely fast loss-less compression algorithm, providing compression speed at 400 MB/s per core, scalable with multi-core CPU. It also features an extremely fast decoder, with speed in multiple GB/s per core, typically reaching RAM speed limits on multi-core systems.
cpio: GNU cpio copies files into or out of a cpio or tar archive. Archives are files which contain a collection of other files plus information about them, such as their file name, owner, timestamps, and access permissions. The archive can be another file on the disk, a magnetic tape, or a pipe. GNU cpio supports the following archive formats: binary, old ASCII, new ASCII, crc, HPUX binary, HPUX old ASCII, old tar and POSIX.1 tar. By default, cpio creates binary format archives, so that they are compatible with older cpio programs. When it is extracting files from archives, cpio automatically recognizes which kind of archive it is reading and can read archives created on machines with a different byte-order. Install cpio if you need a program to manage file archives.
Security Fix(es):
lz4: There's a flaw in lz4. An attacker who submits a crafted file to an application linked with lz4 may be able to trigger an integer overflow, leading to calling of memmove() on a negative size argument, causing an out-of-bounds write and/or a crash. The greatest impact of this flaw is to availability, with some potential impact to confidentiality and integrity as well.(CVE-2021-3520)
lz4: bugfix
cpio: A flaw was found in cpio. An integer overflow that triggers an out-of-bounds heap write can allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code via a crafted pattern file. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.(CVE-2021-38185)
cpio: bugfix
