<description>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Multiple buffer overflows have been detected in the nanoftp and nanohttp
|
|
modules. These modules are responsible for parsing URLs with ftp
|
|
information, and resolving names via DNS.

|
<impact type="high">
|
|
<p>
|
|
An attacker could exploit an application that uses libxml2 by forcing it to
|
|
parse a specially-crafted XML file, potentially causing remote execution of
|
|
arbitrary code.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All libxml2 users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/libxml2-2.6.15"</code>
