Description |
36 |
=========== |
37 |
|
38 |
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in bip: |
39 |
|
40 |
* Uli Schlachter reported that bip does not properly handle invalid |
41 |
data during authentication, resulting in a daemon crash |
42 |
(CVE-2010-3071). |
43 |
* Julien Tinnes reported that bip does not check the number of open |
44 |
file descriptors against FD_SETSIZE, resulting in a stack buffer |
45 |
overflow (CVE-2012-0806). |
46 |
|
47 |
Impact |
48 |
====== |
49 |
|
50 |
A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to execute |
51 |
arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the bip daemon, |
52 |
or cause a Denial of Service condition. |
53 |
|
54 |
Workaround |
55 |
========== |
56 |
|
57 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
58 |
|
59 |
Resolution |
60 |
========== |
61 |
|
62 |
All bip users should upgrade to the latest version: |
63 |
|
64 |
# emerge --sync |
65 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-irc/bip-0.8.8-r1" |
66 |
|
67 |
NOTE: The CVE-2010-3071 flaw was already corrected in an earlier |
68 |
version of bip and is included in this advisory for completeness. |
