Synopsis
=======
sitecopy includes a vulnerable version of the neon library.
Background
=========
sitecopy easily maintains remote websites. It makes it simple to keep a remote site synchronized with the local site with one command.
Affected packages
================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 net-misc/sitecopy <= 0.13.4-r1
Description
==========
Multiple format string vulnerabilities and a heap overflow vulnerability were discovered in the code of the neon library (GLSA 200405-01 and 200405-13). Current versions of the sitecopy package include their own version of this library.
Impact
=====
When connected to a malicious WebDAV server, these vulnerabilities could allow execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the user running sitecopy.
Workaround
=========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
=========
Currently, there is no released version of sitecopy that contains a fix for this issue. The original author of the program has indicated he is unsure when a fixed version may be released. Therefore, the sitecopy package has been hard-masked and current users are advised to unmerge the package until a new version is available.
# emerge -pv unmerge net-misc/sitecopy
# emerge unmerge net-misc/sitecopy
