ID: 202003-44

Synopsis
A heap-based buffer overflow in Binary diff might allow remote
attackers to execute arbitrary code.
Background
bsdiff and bspatch are tools for building and applying patches to
binary files.
Affected packages
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 dev-util/bsdiff < 4.3-r4 >= 4.3-r4
Description
It was discovered that the implementation of bspatch did not check for
a negative value on numbers of bytes read from the diff and extra
streams.
Impact
A remote attacker could entice a user to apply a specially crafted
patch using bspatch, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code
with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.
Workaround
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
All Binary diff users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=dev-util/bsdiff-4.3-r4'
