Gentoo Linux Security Advisory
Title: NAS: Multiple vulnerabilities (GLSA 200704-20)
Severity: high
Exploitable: remote
Date: April 23, 2007
Bug(s): #171428
ID: 200704-20
Synopsis
The Network Audio System is vulnerable to a buffer overflow that could
result in the execution of arbitrary code with root privileges.
Background
NAS is a network transparent, client/server audio transport system.
Affected Packages
Package: media-libs/nas
Vulnerable: < 1.8b
Unaffected: >= 1.8b
Architectures: All supported architectures
Description
Luigi Auriemma has discovered multiple vulnerabilities in NAS, some of
which include a buffer overflow in the function accept_att_local(), an
integer overflow in the function ProcAuWriteElement(), and a null
pointer error in the function ReadRequestFromClient().
Impact
An attacker having access to the NAS daemon could send an overly long
slave name to the server, leading to the execution of arbitrary code
with root privileges. A remote attacker could also send a specially
crafted packet containing an invalid client ID, which would crash the
server and result in a Denial of Service.
Workaround
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
All NAS users should upgrade to the latest version:
Code: | # emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/nas-1.8b" |
