Summary

In all versions of libyang before 1.0-r5, a stack-based buffer overflow was discovered in the way libyang parses YANG files with a leaf of type "bits". An application that uses libyang to parse untrusted YANG files may be vulnerable to this flaw, which would allow an attacker to cause a denial of service or possibly gain code execution.

    descriptionAn update for libyang is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section. The libyang package provides a library for YANG data modeling language. libyang is a YANG data modelling language parser and toolkit written (and providing API) in C. The library is used e.g. in libnetconf2, Netopeer2, sysrepo and FRRouting projects. Security Fix(es) : * libyang: stack-based buffer overflow in make_canonical when bits leaf type is used (CVE-2019-19333) * libyang: stack-based buffer overflow in make_canonical when identityref leaf type is used (CVE-2019-19334) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section. IMPORTANT : The libyang-devel sub-package has recently been removed from the AppStream repository. If you have previously installed libyang-devel, remove it prior to applying this advisory to make the update successful.
