    <p>
    NAS is a network transparent, client/server audio transport system.

    <p>
    Luigi Auriemma has discovered multiple vulnerabilities in NAS, some of
    which include a buffer overflow in the function accept_att_local(), an
    integer overflow in the function ProcAuWriteElement(), and a null
    pointer error in the function ReadRequestFromClient().
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="high">
    <p>
    An attacker having access to the NAS daemon could send an overly long
    slave name to the server, leading to the execution of arbitrary code
    with root privileges. A remote attacker could also send a specially
    crafted packet containing an invalid client ID, which would crash the
    server and result in a Denial of Service.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All NAS users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-libs/nas-1.8b&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
