A buffer overflow vulnerability in MPFR could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause Denial of Service.
| Package | Arch | Vulnerable | Unaffected |
|---|---|---|---|
| dev-libs/mpfr | * | < 3.1.3_p4 | >= 3.1.3_p4 |
MPFR is a library for multiple-precision floating-point computations with exact rounding.
MPFR fails to adequately check user-supplied input, which could lead to a buffer overflow.
A remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or cause a Denial of Service condition.
There is no known workaround at this time.
All MPFR users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/mpfr-3.1.3_p4"
Multiple buffer overflows in MPFR might lead to a Denial of Service.
| Package | Arch | Vulnerable | Unaffected |
|---|---|---|---|
| dev-libs/mpfr | * | < 2.4.1 | >= 2.4.1 |
MPFR is a library for multiple-precision floating-point computations with exact rounding.
Multiple buffer overflows have been reported in the mpfr_snprintf() and mpfr_vsnprintf() functions.
A remote user could exploit the vulnerability to cause a Denial of Service in an application using MPFR via unknown vectors.
There is no known workaround at this time.
All MPRF users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/mpfr-2.4.1"
