+ <title>ncpfs: Buffer overflow in ncplogin and ncpmap</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ ncpfs is vulnerable to a buffer overflow that could lead to local execution
+ of arbitrary code with elevated privileges.

+ <p>
+ ncpfs is a NCP protocol network filesystem that allows access to
+ Netware services, for example to mount volumes of NetWare servers or
+ print to NetWare print queues.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Karol Wiesek discovered a buffer overflow in the handling of the
+ '-T' option in the ncplogin and ncpmap utilities, which are both
+ installed as SUID root by default.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ A local attacker could trigger the buffer overflow by calling one
+ of these utilities with a carefully crafted command line, potentially
+ resulting in execution of arbitrary code with root privileges.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All ncpfs users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-fs/ncpfs-2.2.5"</code>
+ </resolution>
