Synopsis |
| 15 |
======== |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Pavuk contains a bug potentially allowing an attacker to run arbitrary |
| 18 |
code. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Background |
| 21 |
========== |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |

Description |
| 34 |
=========== |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
When Pavuk connects to a web server and the server sends back the HTTP |
| 37 |
status code 305 (Use Proxy), Pavuk copies data from the HTTP Location |
| 38 |
header in an unsafe manner. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Impact |
| 41 |
====== |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
An attacker could cause a stack-based buffer overflow which could lead |
| 44 |
to arbitrary code execution with the rights of the user running Pavuk. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
Workaround |
| 47 |
========== |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
There is no known workaround at this time. All users are encouraged to |
| 50 |
upgrade to the latest available version. |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
Resolution |
| 53 |
========== |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
All Pavuk users should upgrade to the latest stable version: |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
