<description>
|
|
<p>
|
|
A stack-based buffer overflow has been reported in the
|
|
audit_log_user_command() function in the file lib/audit_logging.c when
|
|
processing overly long arguments.
|
|
</p>

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A local attacker could execute a specially crafted command on the host
|
|
running Linux Audit, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary
|
|
code with the privileges of the user running Linux Audit.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>

|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|

There is no known workaround at this time.

|
<p>

<code>
|

# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-process/audit-1.7.3"</code>
