Synopsis ========
There is a format string flaw in Pound, allowing remote execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the Pound process.
Background ==========
Pound is a reverse proxy, load balancer and HTTPS front-end. It allows to distribute the load on several web servers and offers a SSL wrapper for web servers that do not support SSL directly.
Affected packages =================
------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 net-www/pound <= 1.5 >= 1.6
Description ===========
A format string flaw in the processing of syslog messages was discovered and corrected in Pound.
Impact ======
This flaw may allow remote execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the Pound daemon process. By default, Gentoo uses the "nobody" user to run the Pound daemon.
Workaround ==========
There is no known workaround at this time. All users are advised to upgrade to the latest available version of Pound.
Resolution ==========
All users of Pound should upgrade to the latest stable version:
# emerge sync
