Synopsis
========

capi4k-utils is vulnerable to a buffer overflow in the bufprint()
function.

Background
==========

capi4k-utils is a set of utilities for accessing COMMON-ISDN-API
software interfaces for ISDN devices.

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

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package                  /    Vulnerable    /          Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  net-dialup/capi4k-utils      < 20050718-r3         >= 20050718-r3

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

The bufprint() function in capi4k-utils fails to properly check
boundaries of data coming from CAPI packets.

Impact
======

A local attacker could possibly escalate privileges or cause a Denial
of Service by sending a crafted CAPI packet.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All capi4k-utils users should upgrade to the latest version:

    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-dialup/capi4k-utils-20050718-r3"
