Multiple new security vulnerabilities in monit Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200404-16 (Multiple new security vulnerabilities in monit) Monit has several vulnerabilities in its HTTP interface : a buffer overflow vulnerability in the authentication handling code and a off-by-one error in the POST method handling code. Impact A possible hacker may exploit the off-by-one error to crash the Monit daemon and create a denial of service condition, or cause a buffer overflow that would permit arbitrary code to be executed with root rights. Workaround A workaround is not currently known for this issue. All users are advised to upgrade to the latest version of the affected package. References: http://www.tildeslash.com/monit/secadv_20040305.txt Solution: Monit users should upgrade to version 4.2.1 or later: # emerge sync # emerge -pv ">=app-admin/monit-4.2.1" # emerge ">=app-admin/monit-4.2.1" Network Security Threat Level: High Networks Security ID: Vulnerability Assessment Copyright: (C) 2005 Michel Arboi |
