The SOCKS 5 proxy code in XChat is vulnerable to a remote exploit.
|
||
|
|
Users would have to be using XChat through a SOCKS 5 server, enable
|
||
|
|
SOCKS 5 traversal which is disabled by default and also connect to an
|
||
|
|
attacker's custom proxy server.

<p>
|
||
|
|
This vulnerability may allow an attacker to run arbitrary code within
|
||
|
|
the context of the user ID of the XChat client.

<workaround>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
A workaround is not currently known for this issue. All users are
|
||
|
|
advised to upgrade to the latest version of the affected package.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
</workaround>
|
||
|
|
<resolution>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
All XChat users should upgrade to the latest stable version:
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<code>
|
||
|
|
# emerge sync
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# emerge -pv ">=net-irc/xchat-2.0.8-r1"
|
||
|
|
# emerge ">=net-irc/xchat-2.0.8-r1"</code>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Note that users of the gtk1 version of xchat (1.8.*) should upgrade to
|
||
|
|
xchat-1.8.11-r1:
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<code>
|
||
|
|
# emerge sync
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# emerge -pv "=net-irc/xchat-1.8.11-r1"
|
||
|
|
# emerge "=net-irc/xchat-1.8.11-r1"</code>
