- Description:
- The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200411-31
(ProZilla: Multiple vulnerabilities)
ProZilla contains several exploitable buffer overflows in the code
handling the network protocols.
Impact
A remote attacker could setup a malicious server and entice a user
to retrieve files from that server using ProZilla. This could lead to
the execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the user running
ProZilla.
Workaround
There is no known workaround at this time.
Solution:
Currently, there is no released version of ProZilla that contains
a fix for these issues. The original author did not respond to our
queries, the code contains several other problems and more secure
alternatives exist. Therefore, the ProZilla package has been
hard-masked prior to complete removal from Portage, and current users
are advised to unmerge the package.
Risk factor : Medium
