Description David Walser 2020-12-28 15:32:19 CET
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #27752 +++

Thierry fixed this issue in Cauldron:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1853242

db48 is probably also affected (leaving that in Bug 27752).

Fedora has issued an advisory for this today (December 16):
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/OQFKX6NKU2DCW5CTCHQSOJJDFVRVTPO6/

Patched package uploaded for Mageia 7 by Thierry.

Advisory:
========================

Updated db53 packages fix security vulnerability:

Vulnerability in the Data Store component of Oracle Berkeley DB. Easily
exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker having Local Logon
privilege with logon to the infrastructure where Data Store executes to
compromise Data Store. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in

Store (CVE-2019-2708).

No installation issues.

when searching for past updates, I came across bug 21203, which concerned this and other components of the Berkley Database. After much discussion, the update was finally validated on a clean install. So...
