Background ========== UFO2000 is a multi-player, turn-based tactical simulation. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 games-strategy/ufo2000 < 0.7.1062 >= 0.7.1062 Description =========== Five vulnerabilities were found: a buffer overflow in recv_add_unit(); a problem with improperly trusting user-supplied string information in decode_stringmap(); several issues with array manipulation via various commands during play; an SQL injection in server_protocol.cpp; and finally, a second buffer overflow in recv_map_data(). Impact ====== An attacker could send crafted network traffic as part of a multi-player game that could result in remote code execution on the remote opponent or the server. A remote attacker could also run arbitrary SQL queries against the server account database, and perform a Denial of Service on a remote opponent by causing the game to crash. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== UFO2000 currently depends on the dumb-0.9.2 library, which has been removed from portage due to security problems (GLSA 200608-14) . Because of this, UFO2000 has been masked, and we recommend unmerging the package until the next beta release can remove the dependency on dumb. # emerge --ask --verbose --unmerge ufo2000 References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2006-3788 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-3788 [ 2 ] CVE-2006-3789 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-3789 [ 3 ] CVE-2006-3790 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-3790 [ 4 ] CVE-2006-3791 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-3791 [ 5 ] CVE-2006-3792 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-3792 [ 6 ] GLSA 200608-14 http://www.gentoo.org/security/en/glsa/glsa-200608-14.xml Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200702-10.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
