Bugs: #711276
ID: 202003-13

Synopsis
========

A stack-based buffer overflow in musl might allow an attacker to have
an application dependent impact.

Background
==========

musl is an implementation of the C standard library built on top of the
Linux system call API, including interfaces defined in the base
language standard, POSIX, and widely agreed-upon extensions.

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

——————————————————————-
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
——————————————————————-
1 sys-libs/musl < 1.1.24 >= 1.1.24

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

A flaw in musl libc’s arch-specific math assembly code for i386 was
found which can lead to x87 stack overflow in the execution of
subsequent math code.

Impact
======

Impact depends on how the application built against musl libc handles
the ABI-violating x87 state.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All musl users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge –sync
# emerge –ask –oneshot –verbose “>=sys-libs/musl-1.1.24”
