Description
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Pavuk contains several buffer overflow vulnerabilities in the code
handling digest authentication and HTTP header processing. This issue
is similar to GLSA 200407-19, but contains more vulnerabilities.
Impact

A remote attacker could cause a buffer overflow, leading to arbitrary
code execution with the rights of the user running Pavuk.
Workaround
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
All Pavuk users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=3Dnet-misc/pavuk-0.9.31"
