The POC

[Comment 1 Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) 2006-10-10 07:41:07 UTC]

The POC¹ is against 1.34 tested on WinXP. We have only version ~ 1.25 in the tree. I don't know, if it is affected, too. Either replacing it with 1.35 or inviting treecleaners, if no one really cares for the package should suffice.

www-servers, any interest in keeping this? if so, pls verify/bump

[Comment 3 Matthias Geerdsen (RETIRED) 2006-10-19 06:09:13 UTC]

www-servers, pls comment

[Comment 4 Thilo Bangert (RETIRED) (RETIRED) 2006-10-22 08:54:16 UTC]

i've put minimal (ie. cp) effort into creating a bump ebuild, but failed...

IMHO this can be punted. www-servers/fnord is an alternative.
thanks

since this is not marked stable on any arch, pls feel free to mask->remove it

[Comment 6 Raphael Marichez (Falco) (RETIRED) 2006-10-23 13:13:08 UTC]

i agree for masking/removing it if noone can resolve that bug.

I'll try to check if our version is really vulnerable during this week.

[Comment 7 Stuart Herbert (RETIRED) 2006-10-24 00:38:02 UTC]

Sorry for the delay in replying.

I've bumped this package up to 1.35.  That was released back in April, long before the exploit was posted.  I can't tell whether this version is also vulnerable or not at the moment.

Anyone in the security team fancy auditing it?

Best regards,
Stu

Thanks Stuart. I'll try to have a look on this

[Comment 9 Raphael Marichez (Falco) (RETIRED) 2006-10-24 05:46:45 UTC]

finally remove treacleaner from Cc since Stuart has taken this package :)

[Comment 10 Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) 2006-10-24 05:55:51 UTC]

The update to 1.35 should suffice. Forgot to provide the advisory url, sorry.

i couldn't determine if 1.25 was affected. That's not a problem since 1.35 is out after all.

I close that bug, as usual feel free to reopen if you disagree
