Description |
36 |
=========== |
37 |
|
38 |
Patrice Fournier discovered that HylaFAX runs the notify script on |
39 |
untrusted user input. Furthermore, users can log in without a password |
40 |
when HylaFAX is installed with the pam USE-flag disabled. |
41 |
|
42 |
Impact |
43 |
====== |
44 |
|
45 |
An attacker could exploit the input validation vulnerability to run |
46 |
arbitrary code as the user running HylaFAX, which is usually uucp. The |
47 |
password vulnerability could be exploited to log in without proper user |
48 |
credentials. |
49 |
|
50 |
Workaround |
51 |
========== |
52 |
|
53 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
54 |
|
55 |
Resolution |
56 |
========== |
57 |
|
58 |
All HylaFAX users should upgrade to the latest version: |
59 |
|
60 |
# emerge --sync |
61 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-misc/hylafax-4.2.3-r1" |
