Title: Crossfire server: Denial of Service and potential arbitrary
code execution
Date: April 22, 2006
Bugs: #126169
ID: 200604-11
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Synopsis
========
The Crossfire game server is vulnerable to a Denial of Service and
potentially to the execution of arbitrary code.
Background
==========
Crossfire is a cooperative multiplayer graphical adventure and
role-playing game. The Crossfire game server allows various compatible
clients to connect to participate in a cooperative game.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 games-server/crossfire-server < 1.9.0 >= 1.9.0
Description
===========
Luigi Auriemma discovered a vulnerability in the Crossfire game server,
in the handling of the "oldsocketmode" option when processing overly
large requests.
Impact
======
An attacker can set up a malicious Crossfire client that would send a
large request in "oldsocketmode", resulting in a Denial of Service on
the Crossfire server and potentially in the execution of arbitrary code
on the server with the rights of the game server.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All Crossfire server users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose
">=games-server/crossfire-server-1.9.0"

Title: Mozilla Firefox: Multiple vulnerabilities
Date: April 23, 2006
Bugs: #129924
ID: 200604-12
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Synopsis
========
Several vulnerabilities in Mozilla Firefox allow attacks ranging from
execution of script code with elevated privileges to information
leaks.
Background
==========
Mozilla Firefox is the next-generation web browser from the Mozilla
project.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 www-client/mozilla-firefox < 1.0.8 >= 1.0.8
2 www-client/mozilla-firefox-bin < 1.0.8 >= 1.0.8
-------------------------------------------------------------------
2 affected packages on all of their supported architectures.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Description
===========
Several vulnerabilities were found in Mozilla Firefox. Versions 1.0.8
and 1.5.0.2 were released to fix them.
Impact
======
A remote attacker could craft malicious web pages that would leverage
these issues to inject and execute arbitrary script code with elevated
privileges, steal local files, cookies or other information from web
pages, and spoof content. Some of these vulnerabilities might even be
exploited to execute arbitrary code with the rights of the browser
user.
Workaround
==========
There are no known workarounds for all the issues at this time.
Resolution
==========
All Mozilla Firefox users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-client/mozilla-firefox-1.0.8"
All Mozilla Firefox binary users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose
">=www-client/mozilla-firefox-bin-1.0.8"

Title: fbida: Insecure temporary file creation
Date: April 23, 2006
Bugs: #129470
ID: 200604-13
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Synopsis
========
fbida is vulnerable to linking attacks, potentially allowing a local
user to overwrite arbitrary files.
Background
==========
fbida is a collection of image viewers and editors for the framebuffer
console and X11.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 media-gfx/fbida < 2.03-r3 >= 2.03-r3
Description
===========
Jan Braun has discovered that the "fbgs" script provided by fbida
insecurely creates temporary files in the "/var/tmp" directory.
Impact
======
A local attacker could create links in the temporary file directory,
pointing to a valid file somewhere on the filesystem. When an affected
script is called, this could result in the file being overwritten with
the rights of the user running the script.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All fbida users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-gfx/fbida-2.03-r3"

ID: 200604-14
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Synopsis
========
Buffer overflows in Dia's XFig import could allow remote attackers to
