Synopsis
========
JunkBuster is vulnerable to a heap corruption vulnerability, and under
certain configurations may allow an attacker to modify settings.
Background
==========
JunkBuster is a filtering HTTP proxy, designed to enhance privacy and
remove unwanted content.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 www-proxy/junkbuster < 2.0.2-r3 >= 2.0.2-r3
Description
===========
James Ranson reported a vulnerability when JunkBuster is configured to
run in single-threaded mode, an attacker can modify the referrer
setting by getting a victim to request a specially crafted URL. Tavis
Ormandy of the Gentoo Linux Security Audit Team identified a heap
corruption issue in the filtering of URLs.
Impact
======
If JunkBuster has been configured to run in single-threaded mode, an
attacker can disable or modify the filtering of Referrer: HTTP headers,
potentially compromising the privacy of users. The heap corruption
vulnerability could crash or disrupt the operation of the proxy,
potentially executing arbitrary code.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All JunkBuster users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-proxy/junkbuster-2.0.2-r3"
Availability
============
This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at
the Gentoo Security Website:
