<p>
SILC (Secure Internet Live Conferencing protocol) Toolkit is a software
development kit for use in clients, SILC Server is a communication
server, and SILC Client is an IRSSI-based text client.

<ul>
<li>Nathan G. Grennan reported a boundary error in SILC Toolkit
within the silc_fingerprint() function in the file
lib/silcutil/silcutil.c when passing overly long data, resulting in a
stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-2008-1227).</li>
<li>A vulnerability
has been reported in SILC Server which is caused due to an error in the
handling of "NEW_CLIENT" packets that do not contain a nickname
(CVE-2008-1429).</li>
<li>Ariel Waissbein, Pedro Varangot, Martin
Mizrahi, Oren Isacson, Carlos Garcia, and Ivan Arce of Core Security
Technologies reported that SILC Client, Server, and Toolkit contain a
vulnerability in the silc_pkcs1_decode() function in the silccrypt
library (silcpkcs1.c), resulting in an integer underflow, signedness
error, and a buffer overflow (CVE-2008-1552).</li>
</ul>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to cause a Denial
of Service or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user
running the application.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All SILC Toolkit users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=net-im/silc-toolkit-1.1.7&quot;</code>
<p>
All SILC Client users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=net-im/silc-client-1.1.4&quot;</code>
<p>
All SILC Server users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=net-im/silc-server-1.1.2&quot;</code>
