Fedora Legacy Test Update Notification
FEDORALEGACY-2004-1833
Bugzilla https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1833
2004-10-04
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Name        : lha
Versions    : 7.3: 1.14i-4.7.3.3.legacy, 9: 1.14i-9.4.legacy
Summary     : An archiving and compression utility for LHarc format
              archives.
Description : 
LHA is an archiving and compression utility for LHarc format archives.
LHA is mostly used in the DOS world, but can be used under Linux to
extract DOS files from LHA archives.
 
Install the lha package if you need to extract DOS files from LHA
archives.

Update Information:

Ulf Harnhammar discovered two stack buffer overflows and two directory
traversal flaws in LHA. An attacker could exploit the buffer overflows
by creating a carefully crafted LHA archive in such a way that arbitrary
code would be executed when the archive is tested or extracted by a
victim. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the name CAN-2004-0234 to this issue. An attacker could
exploit the directory traversal issues to create files as the victim
outside of the expected directory. The Common Vulnerabilities and
Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0235 to
this issue.

Lukasz Wojtow discovered a stack-based buffer overflow in all versions
of lha up to and including version 1.14. A carefully created archive
could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code when a victim extracts
or tests the archive. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0769 to this issue.

Buffer overflows were discovered in the command line processing of all
versions of lha up to and including version 1.14. If a malicious user
could trick a victim into passing a specially crafted command line to
the lha command, it is possible that arbitrary code could be executed.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
assigned the names CAN-2004-0771 and CAN-2004-0694 to these issues.

Thomas Biege discovered a shell meta character command execution
vulnerability in all versions of lha up to and including 1.14. An
attacker could create a directory with shell meta characters in its name
which could lead to arbitrary command execution. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the
name CAN-2004-0745 to this issue.
