PACKAGE : fnord
SUMMARY : buffer overrun
DATE : 2003-01-17 10:01 UTC
EXPLOIT : remote
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------
- From
http://www.fefe.de/fnord/ :
"fnord 1.6 contained a buffer overrun in the CGI code. However, since
the function does not return, this does not appear to be exploitable."
SOLUTION
It is recommended that all Gentoo Linux users who are running
net-www/fnord upgrade to fnord-1.7 as follows:
emerge sync
emerge -u fnord
emerge clean
