+ <background>
+ <p>
+ pwlib is a multi-platform library designed for OpenH323.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in the implimentation of protocol
+ H.323 contained in pwlib. Most of the vulnerabilies are in the parsing of
+ ASN.1 elements which would allow an attacker to use a maliciously crafted
+ ASN.1 element to cause unpredictable behavior in pwlib.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ An attacker may cause a denial of service condition or cause a buffer
+ overflow that would allow arbitrary code to be executed with root
+ privileges.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ Blocking ports 1719 and 1720 may reduce the likelihood of an attack. All
+ users are advised to upgrade to the latest version of the affected package.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All pwlib users are advised to upgrade to version 1.5.2-r3 or later:
+ </p>
