Wouter Coekaerts has discovered three vulnerabilities within
|
|
Konversation:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The Server::parseWildcards function, which
|
|
is used by the "Quick Buttons", does not properly handle variable
|
|
expansion (CAN-2005-0129).</li>
|
|
<li>Perl scripts included with
|
|
Konversation do not properly escape shell metacharacters
|
|
(CAN-2005-0130).</li>
|
|
<li>The 'Nick' and 'Password' fields in the Quick
|
|
Connect dialog can be easily confused (CAN-2005-0131).</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</description>
|
|
<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A malicious server could create specially-crafted channels, which
|
|
would exploit certain flaws in Konversation, potentially leading to the
|
|
execution of shell commands. A user could also unintentionally input
|
|
their password into the 'Nick' field in the Quick Connect dialog,
|
|
exposing his password to IRC users, and log files.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All Konversation users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-irc/konversation-0.15.1"</code>
|
|
</resolution>
