+ <background>
+ <p>bip is a multi-user IRC proxy with SSL support.</p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in bip:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>Uli Schlachter reported that bip does not properly handle invalid
+ data during authentication, resulting in a daemon crash
+ (CVE-2010-3071).
+ </li>
+ <li>Julien Tinnes reported that bip does not check the number of open
+ file descriptors against FD_SETSIZE, resulting in a stack buffer
+ overflow (CVE-2012-0806).
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to execute
+ arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the bip daemon, or
+ cause a Denial of Service condition.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>All bip users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
+
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-irc/bip-0.8.8-r1"
+ </code>
+
+ <p>NOTE: The CVE-2010-3071 flaw was already corrected in an earlier version
+ of bip and is included in this advisory for completeness.
