Background ========== sitecopy easily maintains remote websites. It makes it simple to keep a remote site synchronized with the local site with one command. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 net-misc/sitecopy <= 0.13.4-r1 Description =========== Multiple format string vulnerabilities and a heap overflow vulnerability were discovered in the code of the neon library (GLSA 200405-01 and 200405-13). Current versions of the sitecopy package include their own version of this library. Impact ====== When connected to a malicious WebDAV server, these vulnerabilities could allow execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the user running sitecopy. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== Currently, there is no released version of sitecopy that contains a fix for this issue. The original author of the program has indicated he is unsure when a fixed version may be released. Therefore, the sitecopy package has been hard-masked and current users are advised to unmerge the package until a new version is available. # emerge -pv unmerge net-misc/sitecopy # emerge unmerge net-misc/sitecopy References ========== [ 1 ] GLSA 200405-01 http://www.gentoo.org/security/en/glsa/glsa-200405-01.xml [ 2 ] GLSA 200405-13 http://www.gentoo.org/security/en/glsa/glsa-200405-13.xml Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200406-03.xml 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.
