Synopsis
========

Open DC Hub contains a buffer overflow that can be exploited to allow
remote code execution.

Background
==========

Open DC Hub is the hub software for the Direct Connect file sharing
network.

Affected packages
=================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package            /   Vulnerable   /                  Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  net-p2p/opendchub      < 0.7.14-r2                   >= 0.7.14-r2

Description
===========

Donato Ferrante discovered a buffer overflow vulnerability in the
RedirectAll command of the Open DC Hub.

Impact
======

Upon exploitation, a remote user with administrative privileges can
execute arbitrary code on the system running the Open DC Hub.

Workaround
==========

Only give administrative rights to trusted users.

Resolution
==========

All Open DC Hub users should upgrade to the latest version:

    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-p2p/opendchub-0.7.14-r2"
