Description Jon Hood (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-06-19 14:00:47 UTC
please mark gift-fasttrack-0.8.7 stable on all architectures- a vulnerability exists that allows the giFT daemon to be remotely crashable. It is not deemed a severe vulnerability, only crashing giFTd. The fix is to upgrade to gift-fasttrack-0.8.7.
Comment 1 Jon Hood (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-06-19 14:03:28 UTC
Forgot to mention- this is just a null pointer vulnerability, I'm not sure if it was severe enough to report, but I thought I better be safe ;)

I see no reason of having ppc and sparc mark stable on this one, since afaik they never had this package stable anyway. amd64 marked stable, so I think it's ready.

I would vote for no GLSA on this one.

Ah, you are correct- sorry to bother you, ppc and sparc teams. I know I'm not
the one who is normally in charge of GLSA's, but while they were working on the
fix, I went ahead and drafted one. It is attached for reference should you
chose to send one out. Otherwise, the vulnerable versions of this package have
been removed from portage and this bug can be closed.

Stable on sparc.
Comment 6 Kurt Lieber (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-06-24 09:32:30 UTC
since remote users can crash the daemon (i.e. it is not directly controllable by the user) I'd say this deserves a GLSA.
