Gentoo Linux Security Advisory
Title: F-PROT Antivirus: Multiple vulnerabilities (GLSA 200612-12)
Severity: high
Exploitable: remote
Date: December 12, 2006
Bug(s): #157612
ID: 200612-12
Synopsis
F-Prot Antivirus contains a buffer overflow and other unspecified
vulnerabilities, possibly allowing the remote execution of arbitrary code.
Background
F-Prot Antivirus is a FRISK Software antivirus program that can used
with procmail.
Affected Packages
Package: app-antivirus/f-prot
Vulnerable: < 4.6.7
Unaffected: >= 4.6.7
Architectures: All supported architectures
Description
F-Prot Antivirus version 4.6.7 fixes a heap-based buffer overflow, an
infinite loop, and other unspecified vulnerabilities.
Impact
Among other weaker impacts, a remote attacker could send an e-mail
containing a malicious file that would trigger the buffer overflow
vulnerability and execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the
user running F-Prot, which may be the root user.
Workaround
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
All F-Prot users should upgrade to the latest version:
Code: | # emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-antivirus/f-prot-4.6.7" |
