Detail

Synopsis

A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability has been found in udisks, allowing a local attacker to possibly execute arbitrary code or cause Denial of Service.

Background

udisks is an abstraction for enumerating block devices and performing operations on them.

Description

A stack-based buffer overflow can be triggered when udisks is given a long path name as a mount point.

Impact

A local attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or cause a Denial of Service condition.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All udisks 1.0 users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-fs/udisks-1.0.5:0"

All udisks 2.0 users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-fs/udisks-2.1.3"

Title: RHSA-2014:0293: udisks security update (Important)
Description: The udisks package provides a daemon, a D-Bus API, and command line utilities for managing disks and storage devices. A stack-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way udisks handled files with long path names. A malicious, local user could use this flaw to create a specially crafted directory structure that, when processed by the udisks daemon, could lead to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the udisks daemon (root). (CVE-2014-0004) This issue was discovered by Florian Weimer of the Red Hat Product Security Team. All udisks users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue.
