+ Monit is a system administration utility that allows management and + monitoring of processes, files, directories and devices on a Unix + system. +

+
+ +

+ A denial of service may occur due to Monit not sanitizing remotely + supplied HTTP parameters before passing them to memory allocation + functions. This could allow an attacker to cause an unexpected + condition that could lead to the Monit daemon crashing. +

+

+ An overly long http request method may cause a buffer overflow due to + Monit performing insufficient bounds checking when handling HTTP + requests. +

+
+ +

+ An attacker may crash the Monit daemon to create a denial of service + condition or cause a buffer overflow that would allow arbitrary code to + be executed with root privileges. +

+
+ +

+ A workaround is not currently known for this issue. All users are + advised to upgrade to the latest version of the affected package. +

+
+ +

+ Monit users should upgrade to version 4.2 or later: +

+ + # emerge sync + + # emerge -pv ">=app-admin/monit-4.2" + # emerge ">=app-admin/monit-4.2" +
