Synopsis |
19 |
======== |
20 |
|
21 |
sitecopy includes a vulnerable version of the neon library. |
22 |
|
23 |
Background |
24 |
========== |
25 |
|
26 |
sitecopy easily maintains remote websites. It makes it simple to keep a |
27 |
remote site synchronized with the local site with one command. |
28 |
|
29 |
Affected packages |

Description |
38 |
=========== |
39 |
|
40 |
Multiple format string vulnerabilities and a heap overflow |
41 |
vulnerability were discovered in the code of the neon library (GLSA |
42 |
200405-01 and 200405-13). Current versions of the sitecopy package |
43 |
include their own version of this library. |
44 |
|
45 |
Impact |
46 |
====== |
47 |
|
48 |
When connected to a malicious WebDAV server, these vulnerabilities |
49 |
could allow execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the user |
50 |
running sitecopy. |
51 |
|
52 |
Workaround |
53 |
========== |
54 |
|
55 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
56 |
|
57 |
Resolution |
58 |
========== |
59 |
|
60 |
Currently, there is no released version of sitecopy that contains a fix |
61 |
for this issue. The original author of the program has indicated he is |
62 |
unsure when a fixed version may be released. Therefore, the sitecopy |
63 |
package has been hard-masked and current users are advised to unmerge |
64 |
the package until a new version is available. |

# emerge -pv unmerge net-misc/sitecopy |
