<access>remote</access>
<affected>
<package name="net-misc/hylafax" auto="yes" arch="*">
<unaffected range="ge">4.2.0-r2</unaffected>
<vulnerable range="lt">4.2.0-r2</vulnerable>
</package>
</affected>
<background>
<p>
HylaFAX is a software package for sending and receiving facsimile
messages.

<description>
<p>
The code used by hfaxd to match a given username and hostname with
an entry in the hosts.hfaxd file is insufficiently protected against
malicious entries.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
If the HylaFAX installation uses a weak hosts.hfaxd file, a remote
attacker could authenticate using a malicious username or hostname and
bypass the intended access restrictions.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
As a workaround, administrators may consider adding passwords to
all entries in the hosts.hfaxd file.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All HylaFAX users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=net-misc/hylafax-4.2.0-r2&quot;</code>
<p>
Note: Due to heightened security, weak entries in the
hosts.hfaxd file may no longer work. Please see the HylaFAX
documentation for details of accepted syntax in the hosts.hfaxd file.
</p>
