CVE-2020-14315
A memory corruption vulnerability is present in bspatch as shipped in
Colin Percival’s bsdiff tools version 4.3. Insufficient checks when
handling external inputs allows an attacker to bypass the sanity checks
in place and write out of a dynamically allocated buffer boundaries.
A patch exists from FreeBSD:
https://www.freebsd.org/security/patches/SA-16:29/bspatch.patch - but
it needs non-trivial porting since FreeBSD seems to have diverged in
important ways from the source tree we use.
Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, Arch Linux, Void Linux, none have fixed this
CVE yet due to missing readily usable patch.
There may be a patch in Android or ChromiumOS source trees but if it is
present it is burried and not easy to find, also their tree probably
has diverged in non-trivial ways too.
