+  <title>Cfengine: RSA Authentication Heap Corruption</title>
+  <synopsis>
+    Cfengine is vulnerable to a remote root exploit from clients in
+    AllowConnectionsFrom.

+    <p>
+    Cfengine is an agent/software robot and a high level policy language
+    for building expert systems to administrate and configure large
+    computer networks.

+  <description>
+    <p>
+    Two vulnerabilities have been found in cfservd. One is a buffer
+    overflow in the AuthenticationDialogue function and the other is a
+    failure to check the proper return value of the ReceiveTransaction
+    function.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="high">
+    <p>
+    An attacker could use the buffer overflow to execute arbitrary code
+    with the permissions of the user running cfservd, which is usually the
+    root user. However, before such an attack could be mounted, the
+    IP-based ACL would have to be bypassed. With the second vulnerability,
+    an attacker could cause a denial of service attack.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time. All users are encouraged to
+    upgrade to the latest available version of Cfengine. (It should be
+    noted that disabling cfservd will work around this particular problem.
+    However, in many cases, doing so will cripple your Cfengine setup.
+    Upgrading is strongly recommended.)
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All Cfengine users should upgrade to the latest version:
