Comment 3 Nicolas Salguero 2021-08-30 15:52:48 CEST
Suggested advisory:
========================

The updated package fixes a security vulnerability:

GNU cpio through 2.13 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted pattern file, because of a dstring.c ds_fgetstr integer overflow that triggers an out-of-bounds heap write. (CVE-2021-38185)

Test CPIO before update:

find /home/guillaume/Documents/test_cpio/ |cpio -ocvB > /home/guillaume/Téléchargements/testCPIO
/home/guillaume/Documents/test_cpio/
/home/guillaume/Documents/test_cpio/glinfo
/home/guillaume/Documents/test_cpio/MAJ kernel
3 blocs

Test => OK

Update CPIO with QA repo on MGA8 64 XFCE.

Test CPIO after update removing archive testCPIO:

find /home/guillaume/Documents/test_cpio/ |cpio -ocvB > /home/guillaume/Téléchargements/testCPIO
/home/guillaume/Documents/test_cpio/
/home/guillaume/Documents/test_cpio/glinfo

Ubuntu has issued an advisory for this today (September 8):
https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-5064-1

They said they needed a couple of extra commits to fix regressions:
https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2021-38185

Is our build OK?

Yes it is.  When I added the patch for the CVE, I saw that two additional commits were needed so I added them too.
