During a code review of the hfaxd server, the SuSE Security Team discovered
|
|
a format bug condition that allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary
|
|
code as the root user. However, the bug cannot be triggered in the default
|
|
hylafax configuration.

Users are encouraged to perform an 'emerge sync' and upgrade the package to
|
|
the latest available version. Vulnerable versions of hylafax have been
|
|
removed from portage. Specific steps to upgrade:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge sync
|
|
# emerge -pv '>=net-misc/hylafax-4.1.8'
|
|
# emerge '>=net-misc/hylafax-4.1.8'
|
|
# emerge clean</code>
