  <title>RPCSEC_GSS library: Buffer overflow</title>
  <synopsis>
    A buffer overflow vulnerability has been discovered in librpcsecgss.

  <affected>
    <package name="net-libs/librpcsecgss" auto="yes" arch="*">

  <background>
    <p>
    librpcsecgss is an implementation of RPCSEC_GSS for secure RPC
    communications.
    </p>
  </background>
  <description>
    <p>
    A stack based buffer overflow has been discovered in the
    svcauth_gss_validate() function in file lib/rpc/svc_auth_gss.c when
    processing an overly long string in a RPC message.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="high">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could send a specially crafted RPC request to an
    application relying on this library, e.g NFSv4 or Kerberos
    (GLSA-200709-01), resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the
    privileges of the user running the application.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All librpcsecgss users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=net-libs/librpcsecgss-0.16&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
