15 |
Thorsten Kukuck discovered a problem in the ypserv program which is |
16 |
part of the Network Information Services (NIS). A memory leak in all |
17 |
versions of ypserv prior to 2.5 is remotely exploitable. When a |
18 |
malicious user could request a non-existing map the server will leak |
19 |
parts of an old domainname and mapname. |
20 |
|
21 |
SOLUTION |
22 |
|
23 |
It is recommended that all Gentoo Linux users who are running |
24 |
net-nds/ypserv-1.3.12 and earlier update their systems as follows: |
25 |
|
26 |
emerge rsync |
27 |
emerge ypserv |
28 |
emerge clean |
