CVE-2020-15396

In HylaFAX+ through 7.0.2 and HylaFAX Enterprise, the faxsetup utility calls chown on files in user-owned directories. By winning a race, a local attacker could use this to escalate his privileges to root.

In HylaFAX+ through 7.0.2, the faxsetup utility calls chown on files in user-owned directories. By winning a race, a local attacker could use this to escalate his privileges to root (CVE-2020-15396).

HylaFAX+ through 7.0.2 has scripts that execute binaries from directories writable by unprivileged users (e.g., locations under /var/spool/hylafax that are writable by the uucp account). This allows these users to execute code in the context of the user calling these binaries (often root) (CVE-2020-15397).

The hylafax+ package has been updated to version 7.0.3, fixing thesee issues and several other bugs.

This update for hylafax+ fixes the following issues:

Hylafax was updated to upstream version 7.0.3.

Security issues fixed:

• CVE-2020-15396: Secure temporary directory creation for faxsetup, faxaddmodem, and probemodem (boo#1173521).
• CVE-2020-15397: Sourcing of files into binaries from user writeable directories (boo#1173519).
