The security fix for CVE-2024-48991, 6ce6136 (“core: prevent race
condition on /proc/$PID/exec evaluation”) [0], introduced a regression
which was subsequently fixed 42af5d3 (“core: fix regression of false
positives for processes running in chroot or mountns (#317)”) [1].

Many thanks to Ivan Kurnosov and Salvatore Bonaccorso for their review.

FEDORA-2024-8568f9cd5e

Packages in this update:

uv-0.5.5-2.fc41

Update description:

Update uv from 0.4.30 to 0.5.5. This is a significant update. Please see the following notes.

By updating to a current release of uv, this update fixes CVE-2024-53899, which was originally reported against virtualenv but which was also reproducible on uv 0.5.2 and earlier. See upstream issue #9424 for more details.

This update adds a default system-wide configuration file /etc/uv/uv.toml with settings specific to Fedora. The RPM-packaged uv now deviates from the default configuration in two ways.

First, we set “python-downloads” to “manual” in order to avoid unintended Python downloads. We suggest using RPM-packaged (system) Pythons that benefit from distribution maintenance and integration. Use uv python install to manually install managed Pythons.

Second, we set “python-preference” to “system” instead of “managed”. Otherwise, any managed Python would be used for uv operations where no particular Python is specified, even if the only available managed Python were much older than the primary system Python.

No choices can be appropriate for all users and applications. To restore the default behavior, comment out settings in this file or override them in a configuration file with higher precedence, such as a user-level configuration file. See https://docs.astral.sh/uv/configuration/files/ for details on the interaction of project-, user-, and system-level configuration files.

With 0.5.0, uv introduced several potentially breaking changes. The developers write that these are “changes that improve correctness and user experience, but could break some workflows. This release contains those changes; many have been marked as breaking out of an abundance of caution. We expect most users to be able to upgrade without making changes.”

Use base executable to set virtualenv Python path
Use XDG (i.e. ~/.local/bin) instead of the Cargo home directory in the installer
Discover and respect .python-version files in parent directories
Error when disallowed settings are defined in uv.toml
Implement PEP 440-compliant local version semantics
Treat the base Conda environment as a system environment
Do not allow pre-releases when the != operator is used
Prefer USERPROFILE over FOLDERID_Profile when selecting a home directory on Windows
Improve interactions between color environment variables and CLI options
Make allow-insecure-host a global option
Only write .python-version files during uv init for workspace members if the version differs

It was discovered that Vim incorrectly handled memory when closing a
buffer, leading to use-after-free. If a user was tricked into opening a
specially crafted file, an attacker could crash the application, leading to
a denial of service.

USN-7092-1 fixed a vulnerability in mpg123. Bastien Roucariès discovered
that the fix was incomplete on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. This update fixes the
problem.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Original advisory details:

It was discovered that mpg123 incorrectly handled certain mp3 files. If a
user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted mp3
file, a remote attacker could use this issue to cause mpg123 to crash,
resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Mozilla products, the most severe of which could allow for arbitrary code execution.

Mozilla Firefox is a web browser used to access the Internet.Mozilla Firefox ESR is a version of the web browser intended to be deployed in large organizations.Mozilla Thunderbird is an email client.

Successful exploitation of the most severe of these vulnerabilities could allow for arbitrary code execution. Depending on the privileges associated with the user an attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than those who operate with administrative user rights.
