Background ========== Openfire (formerly Wildfire) is a Java implementation of a complete Jabber server. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 net-im/openfire < 3.5.0 >= 3.5.0 Description =========== Openfire's connection manager in the file ConnectionManagerImpl.java cannot handle clients that fail to read messages, and has no limit on their session's send buffer. Impact ====== Remote authenticated attackers could trigger large outgoing queues without reading messages, causing a Denial of Service. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All Openfire users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-im/openfire-3.5.0" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2008-1728 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-1728 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200804-26.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.
