Synopsis
=======
A vulnerability in c-icap could result in Denial of Service.

Background
=========
c-icap is an implementation of an ICAP server. It can be used with HTTP
proxies that support the ICAP protocol to implement content adaptation
and filtering services.

Affected packages
================
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  net-proxy/c-icap             < 0.2.6                    >= 0.2.6

Description
==========
c-icap contains a flaw in the parse_request() function of request.c
that may allow a remote denial of service. The issue is triggered when
the buffer fails to contain a ' ' or '?' symbol, which will cause the
end pointer to increase and surpass allocated memory. With a specially
crafted request (e.g. via the OPTIONS method), a remote attacker can
cause a loss of availability for the program.

Impact
=====
A remote attacker may cause a Denial of Service condition.

Workaround
=========
There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
=========
All c-icap users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-proxy/c-icap-0.2.6"
