Severity: Normal Title: socat: Format string vulnerability Date: October 25, 2004 Bugs: #68547 ID: 200410-26

Synopsis ========
socat contains a format string vulnerability that can potentially lead to remote or local execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the socat process.
Background ==========
socat is a multipurpose bidirectional relay, similar to netcat.
Affected packages =================
------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 net-misc/socat < 1.4.0.3 >= 1.4.0.3
Description ===========
socat contains a syslog() based format string vulnerablility in the '_msg()' function of 'error.c'. Exploitation of this bug is only possible when socat is run with the '-ly' option, causing it to log messages to syslog.
Impact ======
Remote exploitation is possible when socat is used as a HTTP proxy client and connects to a malicious server. Local privilege escalation can be achieved when socat listens on a UNIX domain socket. Potential execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the socat process is possible with both local and remote exploitations.
Workaround ==========
Disable logging to syslog by not using the '-ly' option when starting socat.
Resolution ==========
All socat users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-misc/socat-1.4.0.3"
