Severity: Normal Title: Newt: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code Date: June 02, 2010 Bugs: #285854 ID: 201006-14

Synopsis ========
A heap-based buffer overflow in the Newt library might allow remote, user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code.
Background ==========
Newt is a library for displaying text mode user interfaces.
Affected packages =================
------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 dev-libs/newt < 0.52.10-r1 >= 0.52.10-r1
Description ===========
Miroslav Lichvar reported that Newt is prone to a heap-based buffer overflow in textbox.c.
Impact ======
A remote attacker could entice a user to enter a specially crafted string into a text dialog box rendered by Newt, possibly resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application, or a Denial of Service condition.
Workaround ==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution ==========
All Newt users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/newt-0.52.10-r1"
NOTE: This is a legacy GLSA. Updates for all affected architectures are available since October 26, 2009. It is likely that your system is already no longer affected by this issue.
