LCDproc is a program that displays various bits of real-time system
|
|
information on an LCD. It makes use of a local server (LCDd) to collect
|
|
information to display on the LCD.

|
|
Due to insufficient checking of client-supplied data, the LCDd server is
|
|
susceptible to two buffer overflows and one string buffer vulnerability. If
|
|
the server is configured to listen on all network interfaces (see the Bind
|
|
parameter in LCDproc configuration), these vulnerabilities can be triggered
|
|
remotely.
|
|

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
These vulnerabilities allow an attacker to execute code with the rights of
|
|
the user running the LCDproc server. By default, this is the "nobody" user.
|
|
</p>
|

</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
A workaround is not currently known for this issue. All users are advised
|
|
to upgrade to the latest version of the affected package.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
LCDproc users should upgrade to version 0.4.5 or later:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge sync
|
|
|
|
# emerge -pv ">=app-misc/lcdproc-0.4.5"
|
|
# emerge ">=app-misc/lcdproc-0.4.5"</code>
|
