Miroslav Lichvar reported that Newt is prone to a heap-based buffer |
| 45 |
overflow in textbox.c. |

<impact type="normal"> |
| 49 |
<p> |
| 50 |
A remote attacker could entice a user to enter a specially crafted |
| 51 |
string into a text dialog box rendered by Newt, possibly resulting in |
| 52 |
the remote execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user |
| 53 |
running the application, or a Denial of Service condition. |
| 54 |
</p> |
| 55 |

<workaround> |
| 57 |
<p> |
| 58 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
| 59 |
</p> |
| 60 |
</workaround> |
| 61 |
<resolution> |
| 62 |
<p> |
| 63 |
All Newt users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| 64 |
</p> |
| 65 |
<code> |
| 66 |
# emerge --sync |
| 67 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/newt-0.52.10-r1"</code> |
| 68 |

NOTE: This is a legacy GLSA. Updates for all affected architectures are |
| 70 |
available since October 26, 2009. It is likely that your system is |
| 71 |
already no longer affected by this issue. |
