CVE-2017-1000376: Debian Linux

High severity, CVSS 7.0. EPSS: 0.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

libffi requests an executable stack allowing attackers to more easily trigger arbitrary code execution by overwriting the stack. Please note that libffi is used by a number of other libraries. It was previously stated that this affects libffi version 3.2.1 but this appears to be incorrect. libffi prior to version 3.1 on 32 bit x86 systems was vulnerable, and upstream is believed to have fixed this issue in version 3.1.

Affected products

• Debian Debian Linux: version 8.0 only; version 9.0 only
• Libffi Project Libffi: before 3.2 (fixed in 3.2)
• Oracle PeopleTools: version 8.56 only; version 8.57 only
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux: version 6.0 only; version 7.0 only
• Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Server: affected versions not specified
• Red Hat Openshift: version 2.0 only
