+ <title>Multiple vulnerabilities in LHa</title>

+ Two stack-based buffer overflows and two directory traversal problems have

+ LHa is a console-based program for packing and unpacking LHarc archives.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Ulf Harnhammar found two stack overflows and two directory traversal
+ vulnerabilities in LHa version 1.14 and 1.17. A stack overflow occurs when
+ testing or extracting archives containing long file or directory names.
+ Furthermore, LHa doesn't contain sufficient protection against relative or
+ absolute archive paths.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ The stack overflows can be exploited to execute arbitrary code with the
+ rights of the user testing or extracting the archive. The directory
+ traversal vulnerabilities can be used to overwrite files in the filesystem
+ with the rights of the user extracting the archive, potentially leading to
+ denial of service or privilege escalation. Since LHa is often interfaced to
+ other software like an email virus scanner, this attack can be used
+ remotely.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time. All users are advised to upgrade
+ to the latest available version of LHa.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All users of LHa should upgrade to the latest stable version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge sync
+
+ # emerge -pv "&gt;=app-arch/lha-114i-r2"
+ # emerge "&gt;=app-arch/lha-114i-r2"</code>
