How to Fix CVE-2021-29499

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Github.com/sylabs/sif dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

github.com/sylabs/sif fixed: 1.2.3 
Upgrade github.com/sylabs/sif to 1.2.3
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

inspect dependencies for github.com/sylabs/sif

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2021-29499, inspect your project dependencies for Github.com/sylabs/sif:

inspect dependencies for github.com/sylabs/sif

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Github.com/sylabs/sif in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.2.3), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-330: Use of Insufficiently Random Values, where the product uses insufficiently random numbers or values in a security context that depends on unpredictable numbers. In Github.com/sylabs/sif, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

### Impact The `siftool new` command and [func siftool.New()](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/sylabs/sif/pkg/siftool#New) produce predictable UUID identifiers due to insecure randomness in the version of the `github.com/satori/go.uuid` module used as a dependency. ### Patches A patch is available in version >= v1.2.3 of the module. Users are encouraged to upgrade. The patch is commit https://github.com/sylabs/sif/commit/193962882122abf85ff5f5bcc86404933e71c07d ### Workarounds Users passing [CreateInfo struct](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/sylabs/sif/pkg/sif#CreateInfo) should ensure the `ID` field is generated using a version of `github.com/satori/go.uuid` that is not vulnerable to this issue. Unfortunately, the latest tagged release is vulnerable to this issue. One way to obtain a non-vulnerable version is: ``` go get github.com/satori/go.uuid@75cca531ea763666bc46e531da3b4c3b95f64557 ``` ### References * https://github.com/satori/go.uuid/issues/73 ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Open an issue in [github.com/sylabs/sif](https://github.com/sylabs/sif/issues/new) * Email us at [security@sylabs.io](mailto:security@sylabs.io)
