Synopsis
========
The Oops! proxy server contains a remotely exploitable format string
vulnerability, which could potentially lead to the execution of
arbitrary code.
Background
==========
Oops! is an advanced, multithreaded caching web proxy.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 net-proxy/oops < 1.5.24_pre20050503 >= 1.5.24_pre20050503
Description
===========
A format string flaw has been detected in the my_xlog() function of the
Oops! proxy, which is called by the passwd_mysql and passwd_pgsql
module's auth() functions.
Impact
======
A remote attacker could send a specially crafted HTTP request to the
Oops! proxy, potentially triggering this vulnerability and leading to
the execution of arbitrary code.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All Oops! users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-proxy/oops-1.5.24_pre20050503"
