Description
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Diego E. Petteno reported that the Analog package in Gentoo is built
with its own copy of bzip2, making it vulnerable to CVE-2008-1372 (GLSA
200804-02).
Impact
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
A local attacker could place specially crafted log files into a log
directory being analyzed by analog, e.g. /var/log/apache, resulting in
a crash when being processed by the application.
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 Analog users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=3Dapp-admin/analog-6.0-r2"
NOTE: Analog is now linked against the system bzip2 library.
