+ <title>ncpfs: Multiple vulnerabilities</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ The ncpfs utilities contain multiple flaws, potentially resulting in the
+ remote execution of arbitrary code or local file access with elevated
+ privileges.

+ <p>
+ ncpfs is a NCP protocol network filesystem driver that allows
+ access to NetWare services, to mount volumes of NetWare servers or
+ print to NetWare print queues.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Erik Sjolund discovered two vulnerabilities in the programs
+ bundled with ncpfs: there is a potentially exploitable buffer overflow
+ in ncplogin (CAN-2005-0014), and due to a flaw in nwclient.c, utilities
+ using the NetWare client functions insecurely access files with
+ elevated privileges (CAN-2005-0013).
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ The buffer overflow might allow a malicious remote NetWare server
+ to execute arbitrary code on the NetWare client. Furthermore, a local
+ attacker may be able to create links and access files with elevated
+ privileges using SUID ncpfs utilities.
+ </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-2.2.6"</code>
