Wed Nov 27 22:22:13 UTC 2013

This bug was fixed in the package libgcrypt11 - 1.5.3-2ubuntu1

---------------
libgcrypt11 (1.5.3-2ubuntu1) trusty; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian unstable.  Remaining changes:
    - no-global-init-thread-callbacks.diff: Do not call global_init when
      setting thread callbacks

libgcrypt11 (1.5.3-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Convert to dh and move building of ps and html docs to
    override_dh_auto_build-indep. Enable parallel building.

libgcrypt11 (1.5.3-1) unstable; urgency=high

  * New upstream bugfix release. (CVE-2013-4242)

libgcrypt11 (1.5.2-3) unstable; urgency=low

  * Install libgcrypt.a and libgcrypt.so to /usr.
  * [15_multiarchpath_in_-L.diff] Do not print -L/lib/i386-linux-gnu on
    "libgcrypt-config --libs".
  * Use debhelper v9 mode. This allows us to mark libgcrypt11-dbg Multi-Arch:
    same.

libgcrypt11 (1.5.2-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Upload to unstable.
  * Fix vcs-field-not-canonical lintian error by refering to anonscm instead
    of svn.debian.org.

  * Delete some outdated and unused code in debian/rules.

libgcrypt11 (1.5.2-1) experimental; urgency=low

  * New upstream version.
    + IDEA support added.
  * Move list of supported algorithms to a separate paragraph in description
    to decrease work-load of translators. Closes: #640261
  * Move TeX-packages from b-d to Build-Depends-Indep. (Thanks, P. J.
    McDermott) Closes: #682597

libgcrypt11 (1.5.1-1) experimental; urgency=low

  * Point watchfile to stable release.
  * New upstream version.
  * Drop superfluous patches:
    29_Fix-a-problem-with-select-and-high-fds.patch
    30_Avoid-dereferencing-pointer-right-after-the-end.patch
    31_Fix-segv-with-AES-NI-on-some-platforms.patch
    32_libgcrypt-1.5-rinjdael-Fix-use-of-SSE2-outside-USE_A.patch
  * Bump version gcry_control at GCRYPT_1.2 in debian/libgcrypt11.symbols from
    1.4.5 to 1.5.1 since its argument enum has a new member.

libgcrypt11 (1.5.0-5) unstable; urgency=low

  * While we are at it also pick
    29_Fix-a-problem-with-select-and-high-fds.patch

Title:
  buffer overflow crash in libgcrypt when open files > 1024

Status in “libgcrypt11” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I am running JBoss with my open files set to > 1024 and when one of my
  Java classes tries to access the printers it talks to libcups which
  uses libgnutls which uses libgcrypt.  However, libgcrypt has some code
  that is calling FD_SET on a file descriptor but that gets reported as
  a buffer overflow because the file descriptor has a value of 1053
  which is greater than the FD_SETSIZE define of 1024.  This bug was
  fixed in libgcrypt in September 2011 but does not appear in the
  patched version of libgcrypt11 1.5.0 in Ubuntu 12.04.

  The git commit in libgcrypt that fixes the problem is
  061b11de60415e228f33599270d66aafe4b88d72 and can be viewed at:

  http://git.gnupg.org/cgi-
  bin/gitweb.cgi?p=libgcrypt.git;a=commit;h=061b11de60415e228f33599270d66aafe4b88d72

  I submitted the crash (I think it's not entirely clear to me it did
  anything) using ubuntu-bug which I guess went to the whoopsie database
  or something.
