Hi

Thank you. I have concluded that the patch only works on amd64, not on i386.

I'll contact the maintainer.

I got contacted by cpio maintainer Sergey Poznyakoff 
who told me he was in process of fixing it.

You could coordinate with him and/or watch the upstream git repo for a
sanctioned patch, which should help with your testing requirements :)

cpio and CVE-2019-14866 for testing

2019-10-29 Thread Ola Lundqvist
Hi LTS contributors

I have built a cpio package with CVE-2019-14866 corrected.
According to my testing it is no longer possible to reproduce the problem
reported in this CVE.

You can find the packages I have produced here:
http://apt.inguza.net/jessie-security/cpio

The (so far rather limited) testing I have done can be found in
README.testresult
How to reproduce the problem can be found in the patch. It is easy to
reproduce the problem on both jessie and wheezy.

The debdiff is found in cpio.debdiff.

Since cpio is a rather crucial package I would like some more people to
test this package. At least for regression.

An interesting note is that the patch solved the CVE for jessie, but for
some unknown reason it did not solve the problem for wheezy. I have not yet
found out why.

Best regards

// Ola
