<p>
|
|
Steven Van Acker has discovered a buffer overflow vulnerability in the
|
|
"add_port()" function in Pound.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</description>
|
|
<impact type="high">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A remote attacker could send a request for an overly long hostname
|
|
parameter, which could lead to the remote execution of arbitrary code
|
|
with the rights of the Pound daemon process (by default, Gentoo uses
|
|
the "nobody" user to run the Pound daemon).
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All Pound users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-servers/pound-1.8.3"</code>
|
|
