high Nessus Plugin ID 71454

Language:

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-201312-10 (libsmi: Arbitrary code execution)

 libsmi contains a buffer overflow vulnerability in the smiGetNode() function in lib/smi.c.
 Impact :

 A context-dependent attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code by way of a specially crafted Object Identifier (OID).
 Workaround :

 There is no known workaround at this time.

Solution

All libsmi users should upgrade to the latest version:
 # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=net-libs/libsmi-0.4.8-r1' Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying these packages.
 NOTE: This is a legacy GLSA. Updates for all affected architectures are available since October 30, 2010. It is likely that your system is already no longer affected by this issue.
