Synopsis
=======
The Oops! proxy server contains a remotely exploitable format string vulnerability, which could potentially lead to the execution of arbitrary code.
Background
=========
Oops! is an advanced, multithreaded caching web proxy.
Affected packages
================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 net-proxy/oops lt; 1.5.24_pre20050503 gt;= 1.5.24_pre20050503
Description
==========
A format string flaw has been detected in the my_xlog() function of the Oops! proxy, which is called by the passwd_mysql and passwd_pgsql module's auth() functions.
Impact
=====
A remote attacker could send a specially crafted HTTP request to the Oops! proxy, potentially triggering this vulnerability and leading to the execution of arbitrary code.
Workaround
=========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
=========
All Oops! users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "gt;=net-proxy/oops-1.5.24_pre20050503"
