Synopsis
========
Two buffer overflow vulnerabilities in TPTEST may allow remote
attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause Denial of Service.
Background
==========
TPTEST is a tool to measure the speed of a user's Internet connection.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 net-analyzer/tptest < 3.1.7-r2 >= 3.1.7-r2
Description
===========
The GetStatsFromLine() function in TPTEST is vulnerable to buffer
overflows from STATS lines with long email and pwd fields.
Impact
======
A remote attacker could send a specially-crafted STATS line, possibly
resulting in arbitrary code execution or a Denial of Service condition.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All TPTEST users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-analyzer/tptest-3.1.7-r2"
