CVE-2017-17969

Heap-based buffer overflow in the NCompress::NShrink::CDecoder::CodeReal method in 7-Zip before 18.00 and p7zip allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) or potentially execute arbitrary code via a crafted ZIP archive.

Security Fix(es):

Heap-based buffer overflow in the NCompress::NShrink::CDecoder::CodeReal method in 7-Zip before 18.00 and p7zip allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) or potentially execute arbitrary code via a crafted ZIP archive.(CVE-2017-17969)

Insufficient exception handling in the method NCompress::NRar3::CDecoder::Code of 7-Zip before 18.00 and p7zip can lead to multiple memory corruptions within the PPMd code, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) or execute arbitrary code via a crafted RAR archive.(CVE-2018-5996)

Incorrect initialization logic of RAR decoder objects in 7-Zip 18.03 and before can lead to usage of uninitialized memory, allowing remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) or execute arbitrary code via a crafted RAR archive.(CVE-2018-10115)

A null pointer dereference bug affects the 16.02 and many old versions of p7zip. A lack of null pointer check for the variable folders.PackPositions in function CInArchive::ReadAndDecodePackedStreams in CPP/7zip/Archive/7z/7zIn.cpp, as used in the 7z.so library and in 7z applications, will cause a crash and a denial of service when decoding malformed 7z files.(CVE-2016-9296)

Heap-based buffer overflow in the NCompress::NShrink::CDecoder::CodeReal method in 7-Zip before 18.00 and p7zip allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) or potentially execute arbitrary code via a crafted ZIP archive.

Heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the NCompress::NShrink::CDecoder::CodeReal method in p7zip. A remote attacker can take advantage of this flaw to cause a denial-of-service or, potentially the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running p7zip, if a specially crafted shrinked ZIP archive is processed (CVE-2017-17969).

These are all security issues fixed in the p7zip-16.02-11.3 package on the GA media of openSUSE Tumbleweed.

This update for p7zip fixes the following issues:

Security issues fixed:

• CVE-2016-1372: Fixed multiple vulnerabilities when processing crafted 7z files (bsc#984650)
• CVE-2017-17969: Fixed a heap-based buffer overflow in a shrink decoder (bsc#1077725)
• CVE-2018-5996: Fixed memory corruption in RAR decompression. The complete RAR decoder was removed as it also has license issues (bsc#1077724 bsc#1077978)

It was discovered that p7zip did not correctly handle certain malformed archives. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted archive with p7zip, then p7zip could be made to crash, possibly leading to abitrary code execution.
