+ The Monkey HTTP daemon is a Web server written in C that works + under Linux and is based on the HTTP/1.1 protocol. It aims to develop + a fast, efficient and small web server. +

+
+ +

+ A bug in the URI processing of incoming requests allows for a Denial of + Service to be launched against the webserver, which may cause the server + to crash or behave sporadically. +

+
+ +

+ Although there are no public exploits known for bug, users are recommended + to upgrade to ensure the security of their infrastructure. +

+
+ +

+ There is no immediate workaround; a software upgrade is + required. The vulnerable function in the code has been rewritten. +

+
+ +

+ All users are recommended to upgrade monkeyd to 0.8.2: +

+ + # emerge sync + # emerge -pv ">=www-servers/monkeyd-0.8.2" + # emerge ">=www-servers/monkeyd-0.8.2" +
+ + CVS Patch + +
