Bug#883729: glibc: CVE-2017-17426: malloc returns pointer from tcache_get when should return NULL

2017-12-06 Thread Salvatore Bonaccorso 
Source: glibc
Version: 2.26-0experimental1
Severity: important
Tags: patch security upstream fixed-upstream
Forwarded: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22375

Hi,

the following vulnerability was published for glibc (only affecting
experimental)

CVE-2017-17426[0]:
| The malloc function in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.26
| could return a memory block that is too small if an attempt is made to
| allocate an object whose size is close to SIZE_MAX, potentially leading
| to a subsequent heap overflow. This occurs because the per-thread cache
| (aka tcache) feature enables a code path that lacks an integer overflow
| check.

If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.

For further information see:

Hmm, a bug has been introduced in libc6 version 2.24-11+deb9u2, which in
some conditions leave the /etc/ld.so.nohwcap file instead of removing it
just after the upgrade (see bug#883394). One of the condition is to have
libc6-i686 installed (while it can be safely removed), which seems to be
your case.

I consider this bug harmless as it should not deactivate anything now
that the default libc is already i686 optimized. Also I don't see how it
could trigger the issue you described. Anyway better be safe than sorry,
could you please try to create this file with "touch /etc/ld.so.nohwcap"
as root and see if it makes the issue to reappear? Once the test is done
you can then remove it.

Thanks,
Aurelien

Bug#883705:

2017-12-06 Thread Julien Aubin 
Package: libc6
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

Hi,

I found out a regression brought by Debian 9.3 with NVidia binary drivers on
some GPUs including mine. The regression simply breaks NVidia GLX library
with
a segfault in function strtol_l_internal (file strtolol_l.c) although it
seems
this file has not been updated directly.

Note that it does not affect all GPUs but at least mine, NVidia Pascal GPU.
NVidia Maxwell GPUs seem unaffected.

I discovered it while starting my X server using a debugger, and here's the
stack :
#0  0x7588ad01 in __GI_strtol_l_internal (nptr=0x7fffe2b1
"001 GLX", endptr=0x7fffe2a8, base=10, group=,
loc=0x55ad3620) at ../stdlib/strtol_l.c:293
#1  0x555cd0cb in ?? ()
#2  0x555bbeb0 in AddExtension ()
#3  0x7381d7b2 in ?? () from /usr/lib/xorg/modules/linux/libglx.so
#4  0x555bc040 in ?? ()
#5  0x001d in ?? ()
#6  0x0200 in ?? ()
#7  0x in ?? ()

My computer :
Debian 9.3 amd64
Intel Core i7 4790
32 GB RAM
NVidia GeForce GTX 1070 (at least the generation seems to matter) w/ NVidia
blob 375.82

Note that as of now I use NVidia blob from bpo but the issue also happens w/
the driver from stable.

A workaround to this bug consists in either disabling the GLX module in
xorg.conf using :
Section "Module"
   Disable "glx"
EndSection

I also tried using Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "False" (w/o explicit glx
module disablement) but it does only work as long as you do not disable
compositing in the same time. And basically with this setting anything that
uses GLX crashes in that case.

Package: glibc-doc-reference
Version: 2.9-1
Severity: normal

Your package puts an entry for every libc function and macro into the
main info directory, using up more than 1700 lines.  This has been
triggered by the transition to GNU's install-info; apparently the dpkg
implementation ignored secondary INFO-DIR-SECTION entries.

Most of the patches where tweak to the build system which has been
addressed in a different way, or files taken from the main repository,
which are now directly part of the tarball.

I indeed missed the purpose for that one. Thanks, I'll apply it for the
next upload.

 Your package puts an entry for every libc function and macro into the
 main info directory, using up more than 1700 lines.  This has been
 triggered by the transition to GNU's install-info; apparently the dpkg
 implementation ignored secondary INFO-DIR-SECTION entries.

There is now a patch system, but the patch for this bug (along with a
few others which may or may not still be relevant) has not been applied
when converting to the 3.0 (quilt) format.  So I'm attaching it again.

Thanks for finally updating to a newer version! :)

Cheers,
