+ <title>Mono: Buffer overflow</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ Mono's BigInteger implementation contains a buffer overflow vulnerability
+ that might lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

+ <affected>
+ <package name="dev-lang/mono" auto="yes" arch="*">
+ <unaffected range="ge">1.2.5.1-r1</unaffected>
+ <vulnerable range="lt">1.2.5.1-r1</vulnerable>

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ Mono provides the necessary software to develop and run .NET client and
+ server applications on various platforms.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ IOActive discovered an error in the Mono.Math.BigInteger class, in the
+ reduction step of the Montgomery-based Pow methods, that could lead to
+ a buffer overflow.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending specially
+ crafted data to Mono applications using the BigInteger class, which
+ might lead to the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of
+ the user running the application (possibly root) or a Denial of
+ Service.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Mono users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-lang/mono-1.2.5.1-r1"</code>
