From the Debian advisory:
Jann Horn of Google Project Zero discovered that NTFS-3G, a read-write
NTFS driver for FUSE, does not scrub the environment before executing
modprobe with elevated privileges. A local user can take advantage of
this flaw for local root privilege escalation.
From the Red Hat advisory:
* A vulnerability was discovered in spice in the server's protocol
handling. An authenticated attacker could send crafted messages to
the spice server causing a heap overflow leading to a crash or
possible code execution. (CVE-2016-9577)
* A vulnerability was discovered in spice in the server's protocol
handling. An attacker able to connect to the spice server could send
crafted messages which would cause the process to crash.
(CVE-2016-9578)
From the Arch Linux advisory:
- CVE-2017-5192 (arbitrary code execution): The
`LocalClient.cmd_batch()` method client does not accept
`external_auth` credentials and so access to it from salt-api has
been removed for now. This vulnerability allows code execution for
already- authenticated users and is only in effect when running
salt-api as the `root` user.
- CVE-2017-5200 (arbitrary command execution): Salt-api allows
arbitrary command execution on a salt-master via Salt's ssh_client.
Users of Salt-API and salt-ssh could execute a command on the salt
master via a hole when both systems were enabled.
The --with-openldap and --with-sasl flags passed here are actually wrong
as they don't point to the dev outputs of the packages. Anyway, autoconf
recognizes the packages as they are in buildInputs.
getBin is generally not needed - binaries can always be referred as
${foo}/bin/bar regardless of whether the package is multiple-output.
meta.version is unnecessary.
