2. GLSA 200604-05 - Doomsday: Format string vulnerability
3. GLSA 200604-06 - ClamAV: Multiple vulnerabilities
Detail
======
1. Kaffeine uses an unchecked buffer when fetching remote RAM playlists
via HTTP.
2. Luigi Auriemma discovered that Doomsday incorrectly implements
formatted printing.
3. ClamAV contains format string vulnerabilities in the logging code
(CVE-2006-1615). Furthermore Damian Put discovered an integer overflow
in ClamAV's PE header parser (CVE-2006-1614) and David Luyer discovered

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Synopsis
========
Kaffeine is vulnerable to a buffer overflow that could lead to the
execution of arbitrary code.
Background
==========
Kaffeine is a graphical front-end for the xine-lib multimedia library.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 media-video/kaffeine < 0.7.1-r2 >= 0.7.1-r2
Description
===========
Kaffeine uses an unchecked buffer when fetching remote RAM playlists
via HTTP.
Impact
======
A remote attacker could entice a user to play a specially-crafted RAM
playlist resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the
permissions of the user running the application.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All Kaffeine users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-video/kaffeine-0.7.1-r2"

Title: Doomsday: Format string vulnerability
Date: April 06, 2006
Bugs: #128690
ID: 200604-05
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Synopsis
========
Format string vulnerabilities in Doomsday may lead to the execution of
arbitrary code.
Background
==========
Doomsday is a modern gaming engine for popular ID games like Doom,
Heretic and Hexen.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 games-fps/doomsday <= 1.8.6-r1 Vulnerable!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: Certain packages are still vulnerable. Users should migrate
to another package if one is available or wait for the
existing packages to be marked stable by their
architecture maintainers.
Description
===========
Luigi Auriemma discovered that Doomsday incorrectly implements
formatted printing.
Impact
======
A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to execute
arbitrary code with the rights of the user running the Doomsday server
or client by sending specially crafted strings.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
Doomsday has been masked in Portage pending the resolution of these
issues. All Doomsday users are advised to uninstall the package until
further notice.
# emerge --ask --verbose --unmerge games-fps/doomsday

Title: ClamAV: Multiple vulnerabilities
Date: April 07, 2006
Bugs: #128963
ID: 200604-06
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Synopsis
========
ClamAV contains multiple vulnerabilities that could lead to remote
execution of arbitrary code or cause an application crash.
Background
==========
ClamAV is a GPL virus scanner.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 app-antivirus/clamav < 0.88.1 >= 0.88.1
Description
===========
ClamAV contains format string vulnerabilities in the logging code
(CVE-2006-1615). Furthermore Damian Put discovered an integer overflow
in ClamAV's PE header parser (CVE-2006-1614) and David Luyer discovered
that ClamAV can be tricked into performing an invalid memory access
(CVE-2006-1630).
Impact
======
By sending a malicious attachment to a mail server running ClamAV, a
remote attacker could cause a Denial of Service or the execution of
arbitrary code. Note that the overflow in the PE header parser is only
exploitable when the ArchiveMaxFileSize option is disabled.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All ClamAV users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-antivirus/clamav-0.88.1"
