Background ========== Monit is a system administration utility that allows management and monitoring of processes, files, directories and devices on a Unix system. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- app-admin/monit <= 4.1 >= 4.2 Description =========== A denial of service may occur due to Monit not sanitizing remotely supplied HTTP parameters before passing them to memory allocation functions. This could allow an attacker to cause an unexpected condition that could lead to the Monit daemon crashing. An overly long http request method may cause a buffer overflow due to Monit performing insufficient bounds checking when handling HTTP requests. Impact ====== An attacker may crash the Monit daemon to create a denial of service condition or cause a buffer overflow that would allow arbitrary code to be executed with root privileges. Workaround ========== A workaround is not currently known for this issue. All users are advised to upgrade to the latest version of the affected package. Resolution ========== Monit users should upgrade to version 4.2 or later: # emerge sync # emerge -pv ">=app-admin/monit-4.2" # emerge ">=app-admin/monit-4.2" References ========== [ 1 ] http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/9098 [ 2 ] http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/9099 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. Any security concerns should be addressed to security@gentoo.org or alternatively, you may file a bug at http://bugs.gentoo.org. --------------enig34608C97E1597FF9B3D85C9C Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFAauDLR3HmQU0NEeoRAiWcAJ43AFecN6Bz//d527VBTFLBLqvCKQCfbNxi yXSrAsu0KdA5P7FJfG/qg64= =VXr5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig34608C97E1597FF9B3D85C9C--
