GLSA-200702-09 : Nexuiz: Multiple vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 24721

Synopsis

The remote Gentoo host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200702-09 (Nexuiz: Multiple vulnerabilities)

 Nexuiz fails to correctly validate input within 'clientcommands'. There is also a failure to correctly handle connection attempts from remote hosts.
 Impact :

 Using a specially crafted 'clientcommand' a remote attacker can cause a buffer overflow in Nexuiz which could result in the execution of arbitrary code. Additionally, there is a Denial of Service vulnerability in Nexuiz allowing an attacker to cause Nexuiz to crash or to run out of resources by overloading it with specially crafted connection requests.
 Workaround :

 There is no known workaround at this time.

Solution

All Nexuiz users should upgrade to the latest version:
 # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=games-fps/nexuiz-2.2.1'
