Subject: Re: CVE Request: uclibc-ng (and uclibc): ARM arch: code execution

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256

http://www.uclibc-ng.org/ says "History ... uClibc-ng is a spin-off of
uClibc."

> This was fixed in version 1.0.16
> http://repo.or.cz/uclibc-ng.git/commit/e3848e3dd64a8d6437531488fe341354bc02eaed
> http://mailman.uclibc-ng.org/pipermail/devel/2016-July/001067.html

>> libc/string/arm/memset.S

>> bugfix: ARM: memset.S: use unsigned comparisons
>> 
>> The 'BLT' instruction checks for *signed* values. So if a3, length
>> parameter of memset, is negative, then value added to the PC will be
>> large.
>> 
>> memset(buf, 0xaa, 0xffff0000) triggers the bug.

> an attacker that controls the length parameter of

>> The attack is a bit unrealistic, as it requires that the
