| <p> |
| Tavis Ormandy of the Gentoo Linux Security Audit Team discovered a |
| double expansion error in monkeyd, resulting in a format string |
| vulnerability. Ciaran McCreesh of Gentoo Linux discovered a Denial of |
| Service vulnerability, a syntax error caused monkeyd to zero out |
| unallocated memory should a zero byte file be requested. |
| </p> |
| </description> |
| <impact type="high"> |
| <p> |
| The format string vulnerability could allow an attacker to send a |
| specially crafted request to the monkeyd server, resulting in the |
| execution of arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running |
| monkeyd. The DoS vulnerability could allow an attacker to disrupt the |
| operation of the web server, should a zero byte file be accessible. |
| </p> |
| </impact> |
| <workaround> |
| <p> |
| There is no known workaround at this time. |
| </p> |
| </workaround> |
| <resolution> |
| <p> |
| All monkeyd users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| </p> |
| <code> |
| # emerge --sync |
| # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-servers/monkeyd-0.9.1"</code> |
| </resolution> |
