Synopsis
========
Multiple buffer overflows have been found in OpenSLP, which could lead
to the remote execution of arbitrary code.
Background
==========
OpenSLP is an open-source implementation of Service Location Protocol
(SLP).
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 net-libs/openslp < 1.2.1 >= 1.2.1
Description
===========
Multiple buffer overflows have been found in OpenSLP, when handling
malformed SLP packets.
Impact
======
By sending specially crafted SLP packets, a remote attacker could
potentially execute arbitrary code with the rights of the OpenSLP
daemon.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All OpenSLP users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-libs/openslp-1.2.1"
