<title>Centericq: Remote buffer overflow in LiveJournal handling</title>
|
||
|
|
<synopsis>
|
||
|
|
Centericq does not properly handle communications with the LiveJournal
|
||
|
|
service, allowing for the remote execution of arbitrary code.

Centericq is a text mode menu-driven and window-driven instant
|

<p>
|
||
|
|
When interfacing with the LiveJournal service, Centericq does not
|
||
|
|
appropriately allocate memory for incoming data, in some cases creating
|
||
|
|
a buffer overflow.
|
||

<p>
|
||
|
|
An attacker could entice a user to connect to an unofficial LiveJournal
|
||
|
|
server causing Centericq to read specially crafted data from the
|
||
|
|
server, which could lead to the execution of arbitrary code with the
|
||
|
|
rights of the user running Centericq.

<workaround>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.

<p>
|
||
|
|
Currently, Centericq is unmaintained. As such, Centericq has been
|
||
|
|
masked in Portage until it is again maintained.
