Subject: [gentoo-dev] Security Problems: xmule, lmule
Date: 20 Aug 2003 00:47:37 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1061333257.14174.2.camel@localhost> (raw)

Hi,

yesterday I found this:
http://www.heise.de/newsticker/data/dab-18.08.03-000/ (in german)

http://lists.netsys.com/pipermail/full-disclosure/2003-August/008449.html
(english)

short summary:
all emule, lmule and xmule versions are vulnerable to buffer overflows
including execution of malicious code.

xmule 1.4.3 (portage current) is very vulnerable.
xmule 1.5.6 (latest from xmule website) does not fix all known
vulnerabilities.

Please discourage the use of lmule and xmule until fixed versions are
available.

With best regards,
Patrick "bonsaikitten" Lauer
