+ <title>Kiax: Arbitrary code execution</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ A security vulnerability in the iaxclient library could lead to the
+ execution of arbitrary code by a remote attacker.
+ </synopsis>
+ <product type="ebuild">kiax</product>
+ <announced>June 30, 2006</announced>
+ <revised>June 30, 2006: 01</revised>
+ <bug>136099</bug>
+ <access>remote</access>
+ <affected>
+ <package name="net-misc/kiax" auto="yes" arch="*">
+ <unaffected range="ge">0.8.5_p1</unaffected>
+ <vulnerable range="lt">0.8.5_p1</vulnerable>
+ </package>
+ </affected>
+ <background>
+ <p>
+ Kiax is a graphical softphone supporting the IAX protocol (Inter
+ Asterisk eXchange), which allows PC users to make VoIP calls to
+ Asterisk servers.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ The iax_net_read function in the iaxclient library fails to properly
+ handle IAX2 packets with truncated full frames or mini-frames. These
+ frames are detected in a length check but processed anyway, leading to
+ buffer overflows.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ By sending a specially crafted IAX2 packet, an attacker could execute
+ arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running Kiax.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Kiax users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=net-misc/kiax-0.8.5_p1&quot;</code>
