[GLSA-200606-30] Kiax: Arbitrary code execution Vulnerability Scan
Vulnerability Scan Summary
Kiax: Arbitrary code execution
Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test
The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200606-30
(Kiax: Arbitrary code execution)
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.
Impact
By sending a specially crafted IAX2 packet, a possible hacker could execute
arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running Kiax.
Workaround
There is no known workaround at this time.

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-misc/kiax-0.8.5_p1"
Threat Level: Medium
