Synopsis
========
Paros's database component is installed without a password, allowing
execution of arbitrary system commands.
Background
==========
Paros is an intercepting proxy between a web server and a client meant
to be used for security assessments. It allows the user to watch and
modify the HTTP(S) traffic.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 net-proxy/paros <= 3.2.5 > 3.2.5
Description
===========
Andrew Christensen discovered that in older versions of Paros the
database component HSQLDB is installed with an empty password for the
database administrator "sa".
Impact
======
Since the database listens globally by default, an attacker can connect
and issue arbitrary commands, including execution of binaries installed
on the host.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All Paros users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --snyc
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-proxy/paros-3.2.8"
References
==========
[ 1 ] CVE-2005-3280
