Description |
35 |
=========== |
36 |
|
37 |
Thomas Walpuski discovered a buffer overflow that may be exploitable by |
38 |
sending a specially crafted packet. In order to exploit the vulnerable |
39 |
code, an attacker would need to fake the establishment of an L2TP |
40 |
tunnel. |
41 |
|
42 |
Impact |
43 |
====== |
44 |
|
45 |
A remote attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code with the |
46 |
privileges of the user running l2tpd. |
47 |
|
48 |
Workaround |
49 |
========== |
50 |
|
51 |
There is no known workaround for this vulnerability. |
52 |
|
53 |
Resolution |
54 |
========== |
55 |
|
56 |
All users are recommended to upgrade to the latest stable version: |
57 |
|
58 |
# emerge sync |
59 |
|
60 |
# emerge -pv ">=net-l2tpd-0.69-r2" |
61 |
# emerge ">=net-l2tpd-0.69-r2" |
