Summary
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200405-25 https://security.gentoo.org/
Severity: Normal Title: tla: Heap-based buffer overflow in included libneon Date: May 30, 2004 Bugs: #51586 ID: 200405-25
Synopsis ======= tla includes a vulnerable version of the neon library.
Background ========= GNU Arch (tla) is a revision control system suited for widely distributed development.
Affected packages ================ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 dev-util/tla < 1.2.1_pre1 >= 1.2.1_pre1
========== Stefan Esser discovered a vulnerability in the code of the neon library (GLSA 200405-13): if a malicious date string is passed to the ne_rfc1036_parse() function, it can trigger a string overflow into static heap variables. tla includes it's own version of the library.
Impact ===== When connected to a malicious WebDAV server, this vulnerability could allow execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the user running tla.
Workaround ========= There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution ========= All users of tla should upgrade to the latest stable version:
# emerge sync
# emerge -pv ">=dev-util/tla-1.2.1_pre1" # emerge ">=dev-util/tla-1.2.1_pre1"
