Background ========== LimeWire is a Java peer-to-peer client compatible with the Gnutella file-sharing protocol. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 net-p2p/limewire < 4.8.1 >= 4.8.1 Description =========== Two input validation errors were found in the handling of Gnutella GET requests (CAN-2005-0788) and magnet requests (CAN-2005-0789). Impact ====== A remote attacker can craft a specific Gnutella GET request or use directory traversal on magnet requests to read arbitrary files on the system with the rights of the user running LimeWire. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All LimeWire users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-p2p/limewire-4.8.1" References ========== [ 1 ] CAN-2005-0788 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-0788 [ 2 ] CAN-2005-0789 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-0789 [ 3 ] Secunia Advisory SA14555 http://secunia.com/advisories/14555/ Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200503-37.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
