Date: July 08, 2021
Bugs: #655146
ID: 202107-15

Synopsis
========

A buffer overflow in blktrace might allow arbitrary code execution.

Background
==========

blktrace shows detailed information about what is happening on a block
device IO queue.

Affected packages
=================

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 sys-block/blktrace < 1.2.0_p20210419122502>= 1.2.0_p20210419122502

Description
===========

A crafted file could cause a buffer overflow in the 'dev_map_read'
function because the device and devno arrays are too small.

Impact
======

A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted file
using blktrace, 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 blktrace users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge -a --oneshot -v ">=sys-block/blktrace-1.2.0_p20210419122502"
