Detail

Synopsis

A vulnerability in CouchDB could result in Denial of Service.

Background

Apache CouchDB is a distributed, fault-tolerant and schema-free document-oriented database.

Description

CouchDB does not properly sanitize the count parameter for Universally Unique Identifiers (UUID) requests.

Impact

A remote attacker could send a specially crafted request to CouchDB, possibly resulting in a Denial of Service condition.

Workaround

The /_uuids handler can be disabled in local.ini with the following configuration:

[httpd_global_handlers]
_uuids =

Resolution

All CouchDB users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-db/couchdb-1.5.1"
