Synopsis
========

Two buffer overflow vulnerabilities in TPTEST may allow remote
attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause Denial of Service.

Background
==========

TPTEST is a tool to measure the speed of a user's Internet connection.

Affected packages
=================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  net-analyzer/tptest         < 3.1.7-r2               >= 3.1.7-r2

Description
===========

The GetStatsFromLine() function in TPTEST is vulnerable to buffer
overflows from STATS lines with long email and pwd fields.

Impact
======

A remote attacker could send a specially-crafted STATS line, possibly
resulting in arbitrary code execution or a Denial of Service condition.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All TPTEST users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose
 ">=net-analyzer/tptest-3.1.7-r2"
