Background ========== Oops! is an advanced, multithreaded caching web proxy. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 net-proxy/oops < 1.5.24_pre20050503 >= 1.5.24_pre20050503 Description =========== A format string flaw has been detected in the my_xlog() function of the Oops! proxy, which is called by the passwd_mysql and passwd_pgsql module's auth() functions. Impact ====== A remote attacker could send a specially crafted HTTP request to the Oops! proxy, potentially triggering this vulnerability and leading to the execution of arbitrary code. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All Oops! users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-proxy/oops-1.5.24_pre20050503" References ========== [ 1 ] CAN-2005-1121 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-1121 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200505-02.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.
