Synopsis
========
A heap-based buffer overflow in PyCrypto might allow remote attackers
to execute arbitrary code.
Background
==========
The Python Cryptography Toolkit (PyCrypto) is a collection of both
secure hash functions (such as SHA256 and RIPEMD160), and various
encryption algorithms (AES, DES, RSA, ElGamal, etc.).
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 dev-python/pycrypto < 2.6.1-r2 >= 2.6.1-r2
Description
===========
A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability has been discovered in
PyCrypto. Please review the CVE identifier referenced below for
details.
Impact
======
A remote attacker, able to control the mode of operation in PyCrypto's
AES module, could possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges
of the process or cause a Denial of Service condition.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All PyCrypto users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-python/pycrypto-2.6.1-r2"
References
