Description |
34 |
=========== |
35 |
|
36 |
Diego E. Petteno reported that the Analog package in Gentoo is built |
37 |
with its own copy of bzip2, making it vulnerable to CVE-2008-1372 (GLSA |

|
43 |
A local attacker could place specially crafted log files into a log |
44 |
directory being analyzed by analog, e.g. /var/log/apache, resulting in |
45 |
a crash when being processed by the application. |
46 |
|

51 |
|
52 |
Resolution |
53 |
========== |
54 |
|
55 |
All Analog users should upgrade to the latest version: |
56 |
|
57 |
# emerge --sync |
58 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-admin/analog-6.0-r2" |
