Bug 829650 – <net-libs/tox-0.2.13: remote code execution

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Security

[Description John Helmert III 2021-12-19 21:12:05 UTC]

CVE-2021-44847 (https://github.com/TokTok/c-toxcore/pull/1718):

A stack-based buffer overflow in handle_request function in DHT.c in toxcore 0.1.9 through 0.1.11 and 0.2.0 through 0.2.12 (caused by an improper length calculation during the handling of received network packets) allows remote attackers to crash the process or potentially execute arbitrary code via a network packet.

Please bump to 0.2.13.
