Synopsis
========

An out-of-bounds error in hivex may result in execution of arbitrary
code or Denial of Service.

Background
==========

hivex is a library for reading and writing Windows Registry ‘hive’
binary files.

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

——————————————————————-
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
——————————————————————-
1 app-misc/hivex < 1.3.11 >= 1.3.11

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

Manipulating a short or truncated hive file may trigger an
out-of-bounds read or write in hivex.

Impact
======

A context-dependent attacker could cause an application linked against
hivex to pass a short or truncated hive file, 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 hivex users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge –sync
# emerge –ask –oneshot –verbose “>=app-misc/hivex-1.3.11”

References
