Severity: Normal
Title: tla: Multiple vulnerabilities in included libneon
Date: June 2, 2004
Bugs: #51586
ID: 200405-25:02


Errata

The fixed ebuild proposed in the original version of this
Security Advisory did not address all the vulnerabilities of the
tla package. All users of the tla package should upgrade to
dev-util/tla-1.2-r2. The corrected sections appear below.

Affected packages


Package Vulnerable Unaffected
1 dev-util/tla <= 1.2-r1 >= 1.2-r2
dev-util/tla == 1.2.1_pre1 >= 1.2-r2

Description

Multiple format string vulnerabilities and a heap overflow
vulnerability were discovered in the code of the neon library (GLSA
200405-01 and 200405-13). Current versions of the tla package
include their own version of this library.

Resolution

All users of tla should upgrade to the latest stable
version:

    # emerge sync
    # emerge -pv ">=dev-util/tla-1.2-r2"
    # emerge ">=dev-util/tla-1.2-r2"
