+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Steven Van Acker has discovered a buffer overflow vulnerability in the
+ "add_port()" function in Pound.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could send a request for an overly long hostname
+ parameter, which could lead to the remote execution of arbitrary code
+ with the rights of the Pound daemon process (by default, Gentoo uses
+ the "nobody" user to run the Pound daemon).
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Pound users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=www-servers/pound-1.8.3"</code>
