FEDORA-2018-8e27ad96ed created by fweimer 5 years ago for Fedora 26

This update addresses two security vulnerabilities:

  • CVE-2017-15670, CVE-2017-15671, CVE-2017-15804: Various vulnerabilities could lead to memory corruption in the glob and glob64 function. (#1505298, RHBZ##1504807)
  • CVE-2017-16997: Check for empty tokens before dynamic string token expansion in the dynamic linker, so that pre-existing privileged programs with $ORIGIN rpaths/runpaths do not cause the dynamic linker to search the current directory, potentially leading to privilege escalation. (#1526866).
  • CVE-2018-1000001: getcwd would sometimes return a non-absolute path, confusing the realpath function, leading to privilege escalation in conjunction with user namespaces. (#1533837)

In addition, this update replaces the dynamic linker trampoline on x86-64 with a version which uses the XSAVE instruction if it is available. This improves compatibility with future hardware and compilers which do not follow the x86-64 ABI. This update also adjusts the thread stack size accounting to provide additional stack space compared to previous glibc versions (to avoid introducing #1527887).
