Detail

Synopsis

A buffer overflow and a format string vulnerability in aria2 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.

Background

aria2 is a download utility with resuming and segmented downloading with HTTP/HTTPS/FTP/BitTorrent support.

Description

Tatsuhiro Tsujikawa reported a buffer overflow in DHTRoutingTableDeserializer.cc (CVE-2009-3575) and a format string vulnerability in the AbstractCommand::onAbort() function in src/AbstractCommand.cc (CVE-2009-3617).

Impact

A remote, unauthenticated attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application or cause a Denial of Service (application crash).

Workaround

Do not use DHT (CVE-2009-3575) and disable logging (CVE-2009-3617).

Resolution

All aria2 users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-misc/aria2-1.6.3"

Title: DSA-1957-1 aria2 -- buffer overflow
Description: It was discovered that aria2, a high speed download utility, is prone to a buffer overflow in the DHT routing code, which might lead to the execution of arbitrary code. For the stable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 0.14.0-1+lenny1. Binaries for powerpc, arm, ia64 and hppa will be provided once they are available. The oldstable distribution is not affected by this problem. For the testing distribution and the unstable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 1.2.0-1. We recommend that you upgrade your aria2 packages.
