Background ========== ulogd is a userspace daemon for netfilter related logging. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 app-admin/ulogd < 1.23-r1 >= 1.23-r1 Description =========== SUSE reported unspecified buffer overflows in ulogd involving the calculation of string lengths. Impact ====== A remote attacker could trigger a possible buffer overflow through unspecified vectors, potentially leading to the remote execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the user running the ulogd daemon, or more probably leading to the crash of the daemon. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All ulogd users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-admin/ulogd-1.23-r1" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2007-0460 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-0460 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200703-17.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.
