Description Robert Buchholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-08-15 13:54:25 UTC
CVE-2008-3680 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2008-3680):
  The decryption function in Flagship Industries Ventrilo 3.0.2 and earlier
  allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer
  dereference and server crash) by sending a type 0 packet with an invalid
  version followed by another packet to TCP port 3784.
Comment 1 Bjarke Istrup Pedersen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-03-02 00:30:10 UTC
Version 3.0.3 is in the tree, is this still an issue?

  Server doesn't seem vulnerable
Comment 3 Robert Buchholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-03-05 17:23:27 UTC
Since 2.3.1 does not install anyway (missing distfile and fetch restrictions), and 3.0.3 seems to fix the issue, is 3.0.3 ok for stabling?
Comment 4 Robert Buchholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-03-07 16:40:27 UTC
Arches, please test and mark stable:
=media-sound/ventrilo-server-bin-3.0.3
Target keywords : "amd64 x86"
Comment 5 Markus Meier gentoo-dev 2009-03-08 14:38:58 UTC
amd64/x86 stable, all arches done.
Comment 6 Robert Buchholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-03-09 14:08:13 UTC
It's an easy DoS on a server application, so YES.
Comment 7 Pierre-Yves Rofes (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-04-14 12:02:45 UTC
yes too, request filed.
