+ <title>Multiple format string vulnerabilities in cadaver</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ There are multiple format string vulnerabilities in the neon library used
+ in cadaver, possibly leading to execution of arbitrary code when connected
+ to a malicious server.

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ According to <uri link="http://www.webdav.org/cadaver">http://www.webdav.org/cadaver</uri>,
+ cadaver is a command-line WebDAV client for Unix. It supports file upload,
+ download, on-screen display, namespace operations (move/copy), collection
+ creation and deletion, and locking operations.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Cadaver code includes the neon library, which in versions 0.24.4 and
+ previous is vulnerable to multiple format string attacks. The latest
+ version of cadaver uses version 0.24.5 of the neon library, which makes it
+ immune to this vulnerability.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ When using cadaver to connect to an untrusted WebDAV server, this
+ vulnerability can allow a malicious remote server to execute arbitrary code
+ on the client with the rights of the user using cadaver.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ A workaround is not currently known for this issue. All users are advised
+ to upgrade to the latest version of the affected package.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ cadaver users should upgrade to version 0.22.1 or later:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge sync
+
+ # emerge -pv "&gt;=net-misc/cadaver-0.22.1"
+ # emerge "&gt;=net-misc/cadaver-0.22.1"</code>
