Package: uudeview Version: 0.5.20-2 Severity: serious Tags: security CAN-2004-2265 is a security hole in uudeview, although you won't find much useful info in the advisories associated with that CAN.
After downloading OpenPKG's fix from
tp://ftp.openpkg.org/release/2.0/UPD/uudeview-0.5.19-2.0.1.src.rpm ,
I was able to verify the problem:
if ((stdfile = tempnam (NULL, "uu")) == NULL) {
fprintf (stderr, "proc_stdin: cannot get temporary file\n");
return 0;
}
if ((target = fopen (stdfile, "wb")) == NULL) {
fprintf (stderr, "proc_stdin: cannot open temp file %s for writing: %s\n",
stdfile, strerror (errno));
_FP_free (stdfile);
return 0;
}
This is a race, exploitable when uudeview is run on standard input.
I'm attaching OpenPKG's entire patch for uudeview 0.5.19, since you might
find unrelated changes also of interest. The relevent fixes for this hole
are change changes involving tempnam and _FP_tempnam.
