Background ========= Motion is a program that monitors the video signal from one or more cameras and is able to detect motions. Affected packages ================ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 media-video/motion < 3.2.10.1 > = 3.2.10.1 Description ========== Nico Golde reported an off-by-one error within the read_client() function in the webhttpd.c file, leading to a stack-based buffer overflow. Stefan Cornelius (Secunia Research) reported a boundary error within the same function, also leading to a stack-based buffer overflow. Both vulnerabilities require that the HTTP Control interface is enabled. Impact ===== A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by sending an overly long or specially crafted request to a vulnerable Motion HTTP control interface, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the motion user. Workaround ========= There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========= All Motion users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot--verbose "> =media-video/motion-3.2.10.1" References ========= [ 1 ] CVE-2008-2654 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2008-2654 Availability =========== This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/200807-02 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.
