| <affected> |

| <p> |
| According to <uri |
| link="http://www.webdav.org/cadaver">http://www.webdav.org/cadaver</uri>, |
| cadaver is a command-line WebDAV client for Unix. It supports file upload, |
| download, on-screen display, namespace operations (move/copy), collection |
| creation and deletion, and locking operations. |

| <description> |
| <p> |
| Cadaver code includes the neon library, which in versions 0.24.4 and |
| previous is vulnerable to multiple format string attacks. The latest |
| version of cadaver uses version 0.24.5 of the neon library, which makes it |
| immune to this vulnerability. |
| </p> |
| </description> |
| <impact type="normal"> |
| <p> |
| When using cadaver to connect to an untrusted WebDAV server, this |
| vulnerability can allow a malicious remote server to execute arbitrary code |
| on the client with the rights of the user using cadaver. |
| </p> |
| </impact> |
| <workaround> |
| <p> |
| A workaround is not currently known for this issue. All users are advised |
| to upgrade to the latest version of the affected package. |
| </p> |
| </workaround> |
| <resolution> |
| <p> |
| cadaver users should upgrade to version 0.22.1 or later: |
| </p> |
| <code> |
| # emerge sync |
| |
| # emerge -pv ">=net-misc/cadaver-0.22.1" |
| # emerge ">=net-misc/cadaver-0.22.1"</code> |
| </resolution> |
