PACKAGE : ypserv |

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 |
