+ Linux Audit is a set of userspace utilities for storing and processing + auditing records. +

+
+ +

+ A stack-based buffer overflow has been reported in the + audit_log_user_command() function in the file lib/audit_logging.c when + processing overly long arguments. +

+
+ +

+ A local attacker could execute a specially crafted command on the host + running Linux Audit, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary + code with the privileges of the user running Linux Audit. +

+
+ +

+ There is no known workaround at this time. +

+
+ +

+ All Linux Audit users should upgrade to the latest version: +

+ + # emerge --sync + # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-process/audit-1.7.3" +
