<description>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Tavis Ormandy of the Gentoo Linux Security Audit Team discovered that
|
|
DenyHosts used an incomplete regular expression to parse failed login
|
|
attempts.

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A remote unauthenticated attacker can add arbitrary hosts to the
|
|
blacklist by attempting to login with a specially crafted username. An
|
|
attacker may use this to prevent legitimate users from accessing a host
|
|
remotely.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All DenyHosts users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-admin/denyhosts-2.6"</code>
