Background ========== Pavuk is web spider and website mirroring tool. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 net-misc/pavuk < 0.9.31 >= 0.9.31 Description =========== Pavuk contains several buffer overflow vulnerabilities in the code handling digest authentication and HTTP header processing. This issue is similar to GLSA 200407-19, but contains more vulnerabilities. Impact ====== A remote attacker could cause a buffer overflow, leading to arbitrary code execution with the rights of the user running Pavuk. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All Pavuk users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-misc/pavuk-0.9.31" References ========== [ 1 ] GLSA-200407-19 http://www.gentoo.org/security/en/glsa/glsa-200407-19.xml [ 2 ] SA13120 http://secunia.com/advisories/13120/ [ 3 ] CAN-2004-0456 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0456 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200411-19.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
