Description:   Opened: 2009-01-02 23:11 0000
CVE-2008-5747 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2008-5747):
  F-Prot 4.6.8 for GNU/Linux allows remote attackers to bypass
  anti-virus protection via a crafted ELF program with a "corrupted"
  header that still allows the program to be executed.  NOTE: due to an
  error in the initial disclosure, F-secure was incorrectly stated as
  the vendor.

------- Comment #1 From Stefan Behte 2009-01-02 23:20:08 0000 -------
from $URL:
"frisk f-prot com
Version 4.6.8 is an old, obsolete version of F-PROT that is no longer supported
by the developers.

We no longer release regular virus definition updates for this version, and as
far as we know, we have no paying customers of F-PROT 4.6.8 for Linux.

The security issue is not present in the current version."

Antivirus, please update to 6.0.2 (see
http://www.f-prot.com/download/home_user/) and remove 4.6.7. This would also
fix #233928 and #232665! :)

------- Comment #2 From Fabian Groffen 2009-04-02 15:42:00 0000 -------
once the 6.* version goes stable, we can finally remove the 4.x version.

------- Comment #3 From Stefan Behte 2009-04-02 16:36:45 0000 -------
Arches, please test and mark stable:
=app-antivirus/f-prot-6.0.2
Target keywords : "amd64 x86"

------- Comment #4 From Stefan Behte 2009-04-02 17:17:32 0000 -------
This does not fix #233928!

Fabian, the latest versions are:

Linux Workstation 32 bit        6.0.2
Linux Workstation 64 bit        6.0.2
FreeBSD Workstation     6.0.1

But f-prot-6.0.1.ebuild has:
KEYWORDS="~amd64 -sparc ~x86"

Shouldn't it have ~ppc, too?!

CVE-2008-3243 only *seems* to affect Versions <6.0.9.0 on Windows, NIST lists
the Windows changelog as CONFIRM for it.

~ppc and ~x86-fbsd are not in there, as I couldn't test on those arches, and
they were not previously keyworded.  Since 6.0.1 is still vulnerable, I'm first
waiting for you guys, before I will ask the respective arch-teams to look at
it.

That means all versions for non-Windows are affected and useless.  (If we
ignore the version that fpscan spits out, and go by the version as announced on
the download webpage.)

Well, but we still should stabalize 6.0.2, because it fixes CVE-2008-5747.
The other bugs will be handled when updates are available. Sorry for this,
re-adding arches.

Arches, please test and mark stable:
=app-antivirus/f-prot-6.0.2
Target keywords : "amd64 x86"

------- Comment #7 From Markus Meier 2009-04-04 14:43:32 0000 -------
amd64/x86 stable, all arches done.

------- Comment #8 From Tobias Heinlein 2009-04-04 15:09:49 0000 -------
Ready for vote, I vote YES.

------- Comment #9 From Stefan Behte 2009-04-08 22:41:00 0000 -------
Yes, too. Request filed.
