Synopsis
========

The ncpfs utilities contain multiple flaws, potentially resulting in
the remote execution of arbitrary code or local file access with
elevated privileges.

Background
==========

ncpfs is a NCP protocol network filesystem driver that allows access to
NetWare services, to mount volumes of NetWare servers or print to
NetWare print queues.

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

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 net-fs/ncpfs < 2.2.6 >= 2.2.6

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

Erik Sjolund discovered two vulnerabilities in the programs bundled
with ncpfs: there is a potentially exploitable buffer overflow in
ncplogin (CAN-2005-0014), and due to a flaw in nwclient.c, utilities
using the NetWare client functions insecurely access files with
elevated privileges (CAN-2005-0013).

Impact
======

The buffer overflow might allow a malicious remote NetWare server to
execute arbitrary code on the NetWare client. Furthermore, a local
attacker may be able to create links and access files with elevated
privileges using SUID ncpfs utilities.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All ncpfs users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-fs/ncpfs-2.2.6"
