Description Tavis Ormandy (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-05-30 14:09:23 UTC
hashcash < 1.21 is apparently vulnerable to a heap overflow
Comment 1 Raphael Marichez (Falco) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-06-11 14:23:07 UTC
Hi kloeri, can you provide a new ebuild (-1.21) if needed and possible ? Thanks in advance.

Comment 6 Sune Kloppenborg Jeppesen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-06-19 23:46:37 UTC
Rerating, feel free to correct if I'm wrong. I'm not too familiar with hashcash.
Comment 7 Wolf Giesen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-06-20 00:06:12 UTC
Without further details available, I'd follow you upping the rating.
Comment 8 Raphael Marichez (Falco) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-06-20 01:25:10 UTC
I guess it is a bit like spamassassin or bogofilter.

i've just updated the severity in the draft.
