Updated perl packages fix security vulnerability

John Lightsey and Todd Rinaldo reported that the opportunistic loading of optional modules can make many programs unintentionally load code from the current working directory (which might be changed to another directory without the user realising) and potentially leading to privilege escalation (CVE-2016-1238).

The cPanel Security Team reported a time of check to time of use (TOCTTOU) race condition flaw in File::Path, a core module from Perl to create or remove directory trees. An attacker can take advantage of this flaw to set the mode on an attacker-chosen file to a attacker-chosen value (CVE-2017-6512).

Jakub Wilk reported a heap buffer overflow flaw in the regular expression compiler, allowing a remote attacker to cause a denial of service via a specially crafted regular expression with the case-insensitive modifier (CVE-2017-12837).

Jakub Wilk reported a buffer over-read flaw in the regular expression parser, allowing a remote attacker to cause a denial of service or information leak (CVE-2017-12883).

The perl-libintl-perl, perl-MIME-Charset, perl-MIME-EncWords, perl-Module-Build, perl-Sys-Syslog, and perl-Unicode-LineBreak packages have been patched and the perl-Module-Load-Conditional and perl-Net-DNS packages have been updated to fix CVE-2016-1238 as well.

The perl-File-Path package has also been patched to fix CVE-2017-6512.

Updated spamassassin package fixes security vulnerabilities:

A reliance on "." in @INC in one configuration script (CVE-2016-1238).

A denial of service vulnerability arises with certain unclosed tags in emails that cause markup to be handled incorrectly leading to scan timeouts (CVE-2017-15705).

A potential Remote Code Execution bug with the PDFInfo plugin (CVE-2018-11780).

A local user code injection in the meta rule syntax (CVE-2018-11781).

Security update for amavisd-new

This update for amavisd-new fixes the following issues:

Security issue fixed:

  • CVE-2016-1238: Workedaround a perl vulnerability by removing a trailing dot element from @INC (bsc#987887).

Other issues addressed:

  • update to version 2.11.1 (bsc#1123389).

  • amavis-services: bumping up syslog level from LOG_NOTICE to LOG_ERR for a message 'PID <pid> went away', and removed redundant newlines from some log messages

  • avoid warning messages 'Use of uninitialized value in subroutine entry' in Encode::MIME::Header when the $check argument is undefined

  • @sa_userconf_maps has been extended to allow loading of per-recipient (or per-policy bank, or global) SpamAssassin configuration set from LDAP. For consistency with SQL a @sa_userconf_maps entry prefixed with 'ldap:' will load SpamAssassin configuration set using the load_scoreonly_ldap() method.

  • add some Sanesecurity.Foxhole false positives to the default list @virus_name_to_spam_score_maps

  • update amavis-milter to version 2.6.1:

    • Fixed a bug when creating amavisd-new policy bank names

  • CVE-2017-15705: Fixed a denial of service through unclosed tags in crafted emails (bsc#1108745).
  • CVE-2016-1238: Fixed an issue where perl would load modules from the current directory (bsc#1108749).

Non-security issues fixed:

  • Use systemd timers instead of cron (bsc#1115411)
  • Fixed incompatibility with Net::DNS >= 1.01 (bsc#1107765)
  • Fixed warning about deprecated regex during sa-update (bsc#1069831)

Security update for amavisd-new

This update for amavisd-new fixes the following issues:

wmavisd-new was updated to version 2.11.1 (bsc#1123389):

  • removed a trailing dot element from @INC, as a workaround for a perl vulnerability CVE-2016-1238 (bsc#987887)
  • amavis-services: bumping up syslog level from LOG_NOTICE to LOG_ERR for a message 'PID <pid> went away', and removed redundant newlines from some log messages
  • safe_decode() and safe_decode_utf8(): avoid warning messages 'Use of uninitialized value in subroutine entry' in Encode::MIME::Header when the $check argument is undefined
  • @sa_userconf_maps has been extended to allow loading of per-recipient (or per-policy bank, or global) SpamAssassin configuration set from LDAP. For consistency with SQL a @sa_userconf_maps entry prefixed with 'ldap:' will load SpamAssassin configuration set using the load_scoreonly_ldap() method; a patch by Atanas Karashenski
  • add some Sanesecurity.Foxhole false positives to the default list @virus_name_to_spam_score_maps
  • updated some comments

Update amavis-milter to version 2.6.1:

  • Fixed bug when creating amavisd-new policy bank names
