NASL family Mandriva Local Security Checks NASL id MANDRIVA_MDVSA-2015-207.NASL description Updated perl-Module-Signature package fixes the following security vulnerabilities reported by John Lightsey : Module::Signature could be tricked into interpreting the unsigned portion of a SIGNATURE file as the signed portion due to faulty parsing of the PGP signature boundaries. When verifying the contents of a CPAN module, Module::Signature ignored some files in the extracted tarball that were not listed in the signature file. This included some files in the t/ directory that would execute automatically during make test When generating checksums from the signed manifest, Module::Signature used two argument open() calls to read the files. This allowed embedding arbitrary shell commands into the SIGNATURE file that would execute during the signature verification process. Several modules were loaded at runtime inside the extracted module directory. Modules like Text::Diff are not guaranteed to be available on all platforms and could be added to a malicious module so that they would load from the last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 83099 published 2015-04-28 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2015-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/83099 title Mandriva Linux Security Advisory : perl-Module-Signature (MDVSA-2015:207) code #%NASL_MIN_LEVEL 80502 # # (C) Tenable Network Security, Inc. # # The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were # extracted from Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2015:207. # The text itself is copyright (C) Mandriva S.A. # include("compat.inc"); if (description) { script_id(83099); script_version("2.6"); script_cvs_date("Date: 2019/08/02 13:32:57"); script_cve_id( "CVE-2015-3406", "CVE-2015-3407", "CVE-2015-3408", "CVE-2015-3409" ); script_bugtraq_id( 73935, 73937 ); script_xref(name:"MDVSA", value:"2015:207"); script_name(english:"Mandriva Linux Security Advisory : perl-Module-Signature (MDVSA-2015:207)"); script_summary(english:"Checks rpm output for the updated package"); script_set_attribute( attribute:"synopsis", value:"The remote Mandriva Linux host is missing a security update." ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"description", value: "Updated perl-Module-Signature package fixes the following security vulnerabilities reported by John Lightsey : Module::Signature could be tricked into interpreting the unsigned portion of a SIGNATURE file as the signed portion due to faulty parsing of the PGP signature boundaries.

NASL family Debian Local Security Checks NASL id DEBIAN_DLA-264.NASL description John Lightsey discovered multiple vulnerabilities in Module::Signature, a Perl module to manipulate CPAN SIGNATURE files. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems : CVE-2015-3406 Module::Signature could parse the unsigned portion of the SIGNATURE file as the signed portion due to incorrect handling of PGP signature boundaries. CVE-2015-3407 Module::Signature incorrectly handled files that are not listed in the SIGNATURE file. This includes some files in the t/ directory that would execute when tests are run. CVE-2015-3408 Module::Signature used two argument open() calls to read the files when generating checksums from the signed manifest.

CVE-2015-3409 Module::Signature incorrectly handled module loading, allowing to load modules from relative paths in @INC. A remote attacker providing a malicious module could use this issue to execute arbitrary code during signature verification. For the squeeze distribution, these issues have been fixed in version 0.63-1+squeeze2 of libmodule-signature-perl. Please note that the libtest-signature-perl package was also updated for compatibility with the CVE-2015-3407 fix. We recommend that you upgrade your libmodule-signature-perl and libtest-signature-perl packages.

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems : - CVE-2015-3406 John Lightsey discovered that Module::Signature could parse the unsigned portion of the SIGNATURE file as the signed portion due to incorrect handling of PGP signature boundaries. - CVE-2015-3407 John Lightsey discovered that Module::Signature incorrectly handles files that are not listed in the SIGNATURE file. This includes some files in the t/ directory that would execute when tests are run. - CVE-2015-3408 John Lightsey discovered that Module::Signature uses two argument open() calls to read the files when generating checksums from the signed manifest. This allows to embed arbitrary shell commands into the SIGNATURE file that would execute during the signature verification process. - CVE-2015-3409 John Lightsey discovered that Module::Signature incorrectly handles module loading, allowing to load modules from relative paths in @INC. A remote attacker providing a malicious module could use this issue to execute arbitrary code during signature verification. Note that libtest-signature-perl received an update for compatibility with the fix for CVE-2015-3407 in libmodule-signature-perl." ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"see_also", value:"https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=783451" ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"see_also", value:"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2015-3406" ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"see_also", value:"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2015-3407" ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"see_also", value:"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2015-3408" ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"see_also", value:"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2015-3409" ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"see_also", value:"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2015-3407" ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"see_also", value:"https://packages.debian.org/source/wheezy/libmodule-signature-perl" ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"see_also", value:"https://packages.debian.org/source/jessie/libmodule-signature-perl" ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"see_also", value:"https://www.debian.org/security/2015/dsa-3261" ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"solution", value: "Upgrade the libmodule-signature-perl packages.
