Ubuntu Security Notice USN-3935-1
April 03, 2019
busybox vulnerabilities
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 18.10
- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Summary:
Several security issues were fixed in BusyBox.
Software Description:
- busybox: Tiny utilities for small and embedded systems
Details:
Tyler Hicks discovered that BusyBox incorrectly handled symlinks inside tar
archives. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a
specially crafted tar archive, a remote attacker could overwrite arbitrary
files outside of the current directory. This issue only affected Ubuntu
14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2011-5325)
Mathias Krause discovered that BusyBox incorrectly handled kernel module
loading restrictions. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to
bypass intended restrictions. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
(CVE-2014-9645)
It was discovered that BusyBox incorrectly handled certain ZIP archives. If
a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted
ZIP archive, a remote attacker could cause BusyBox to crash, leading to a
denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu
16.04 LTS. (CVE-2015-9261)
Nico Golde discovered that the BusyBox DHCP client incorrectly handled
certain malformed domain names. A remote attacker could possibly use this
issue to cause the DHCP client to crash, leading to a denial of service.
This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
(CVE-2016-2147)
Nico Golde discovered that the BusyBox DHCP client incorrectly handled
certain 6RD options. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause the
DHCP client to crash, leading to a denial of service, or possibly execute
arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.04
LTS. (CVE-2016-2148)
It was discovered that BusyBox incorrectly handled certain bzip2 archives.
If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially
crafted bzip2 archive, a remote attacker could cause BusyBox to crash,
leading to a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This
issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2017-15873)
It was discovered that BusyBox incorrectly handled tab completion. A local
attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. This
issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2017-16544)
It was discovered that the BusyBox wget utility incorrectly handled certain
responses. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause BusyBox to
crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary
code. (CVE-2018-1000517)
It was discovered that the BusyBox DHCP utilities incorrectly handled
certain memory operations. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue
to access sensitive information. (CVE-2018-20679, CVE-2019-5747)
