<description>

|
<p>
|
|
The log function of Net::Server does not handle format string
|
|
specifiers properly before they are sent to syslog.
|

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
By sending a specially crafted datastream to an application using
|
|
Net::Server, an attacker could cause a Denial of Service.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All Net::Server should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-perl/net-server-0.88"</code>
