Synopsis:          Moderate: hivex security and bug fix update
Advisory ID:       SLSA-2015:1378-1
Issue Date:        2015-07-22
CVE Numbers:       CVE-2014-9273
--

It was found that hivex attempted to read, and possibly write, beyond its
allocated buffer when reading a hive file with a very small size or with a
truncated or improperly formatted content. An attacker able to supply a
specially crafted hive file to an application using the hivex library
could possibly use this flaw to execute arbitrary code with the privileges
of the user running that application. (CVE-2014-9273)

This update also fixes the following bug:

* The hivex(3) man page previously contained a typographical error. This
update fixes the typo.
