Subject: bug#47729: CVE-2021-30184 Arbitrary code execution in GNU Chess [security]
Date: Mon, 12 Apr 2021 17:44:24 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <0a0b536cf697c37adfca19ccb547e22c9cee4ce0.camel@telenet.be> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 756 bytes --]
From https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-30184:
GNU Chess 6.2.7 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted PGN
(Portable Game Notation) data. This is related to a buffer overflow in the use
of a .tmp.epd temporary file in the cmd_pgnload and cmd_pgnreplay functions in
frontend/cmd.cc.
Upstream bug report and patch:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-chess/2021-04/msg00000.html
Upstream is aware of this issue and patch. The patch is being reviewed upstream:
Response by Antonio Ceballos (<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-chess/2021-04/msg00001.html>)
‘We will review it all in detail for a future release fixing the problem.’
I believe we should simply wait for upstream to make a release.
