Advisories, May 7, 2006May 08, 2006, 05:30 (0 Talkback[s])Gentoo LinuxGentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200605-05 Severity: High SynopsisAn attacker having write access to an rsync module might be able to execute arbitrary code on an rsync server. Backgroundrsync is a server and client utility that provides fast incremental file transfers. It is used to efficiently synchronize files between hosts and is used by emerge to fetch Gentoo's Portage tree. Affected packages
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
1 net-misc/rsync < 2.6.8 >= 2.6.8 DescriptionAn integer overflow was found in the receive_xattr function from the extended attributes patch (xattr.c) for rsync. The vulnerable function is only present when the "acl" USE flag is set. ImpactA remote attacker with write access to an rsync module could craft malicious extended attributes which would trigger the integer overflow, potentially resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the rsync daemon. WorkaroundDo not provide write access to an rsync module to untrusted parties. ResolutionAll rsync users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-misc/rsync-2.6.8"

BackgroundMozilla Firefox is the next-generation web browser from the Mozilla project. Affected packages
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
DescriptionMartijn Wargers and Nick Mott discovered a vulnerability when rendering malformed JavaScript content. The Mozilla Firefox 1.0 line is not affected. ImpactIf JavaScript is enabled, by tricking a user into visiting a malicious web page which would send a specially crafted HTML script that contains references to deleted objects with the "designMode" property enabled, an attacker can crash the web browser and in theory manage to execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user running the browser. WorkaroundThere is no known workaround at this time. ResolutionAll Mozilla Firefox 1.5 users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-client/mozilla-firefox-1.5.0.3"
All Mozilla Firefox 1.5 binary users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-client/mozilla-firefox-bin-1.5.0.3"

Update: Rafael Bermudez noticed that the patch for 2006 was mis-applied. This update resolves that issue.
