+ <title>Heartbeat: Denial of service</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ Heartbeat is vulnerable to a Denial of Service which can be triggered by a
+ remote attacker without authentication.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Yan Rong Ge discovered that the peel_netstring() function in
+ cl_netstring.c does not validate the "length" parameter of user input,
+ which can lead to an out-of-bounds memory access when processing
+ certain Heartbeat messages (CVE-2006-3121). Furthermore an unspecified
+ local DoS issue was fixed (CVE-2006-3815).
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ By sending a malicious UDP Heartbeat message, even before
+ authentication, a remote attacker can crash the master control process
+ of the cluster.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Heartbeat users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose sys-cluster/heartbeat</code>
+ </resolution>
