|
|
Tavis Ormandy of the Gentoo Linux Security Audit Team discovered a
|
|
double expansion error in monkeyd, resulting in a format string
|
|
vulnerability. Ciaran McCreesh of Gentoo Linux discovered a Denial of
|
|
Service vulnerability, a syntax error caused monkeyd to zero out
|
|
unallocated memory should a zero byte file be requested.
|

|
<impact type="high">
|
|
<p>
|
|
The format string vulnerability could allow an attacker to send a
|
|
specially crafted request to the monkeyd server, resulting in the
|
|
execution of arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running
|
|
monkeyd. The DoS vulnerability could allow an attacker to disrupt the
|
|
operation of the web server, should a zero byte file be accessible.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All monkeyd users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-servers/monkeyd-0.9.1"</code>
|
|
</resolution>
