Synopsis
========
A vulnerability in libgdata could allow remote attackers to perform
man-in-the-middle attacks.
Background
==========
libgdata is a GLib-based library for accessing online service APIs
using the GData protocol.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 dev-libs/libgdata < 0.8.1-r2 >= 0.8.1-r2
Description
===========
An error in the "_gdata_service_build_session()" function of

Bugs: #415977
ID: 201208-01
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Synopsis
========
A buffer overflow in socat might allow remote attackers to execute
arbitrary code.
Background
==========
socat is a multipurpose bidirectional relay, similar to netcat.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 net-misc/socat < 1.7.2.1 >= 1.7.2.1
Description
===========
A vulnerability in the "xioscan_readline()" function in xio-readline.c
could cause a heap-based buffer overflow.
Impact
======
A remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the
privileges of the socat process.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.

Bugs: #410857
ID: 201208-02
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Synopsis
========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Puppet, the worst of which
could lead to execution of arbitrary code.
Background
==========
Puppet is a system configuration management tool written in Ruby.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 app-admin/puppet < 2.7.13 >= 2.7.13
Description
===========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Puppet:
* Puppet uses predictable file names for temporary files
(CVE-2012-1906).
* REST requests for a file in a remote filebucket are not handled
properly by overriding filebucket storage locations (CVE-2012-1986).
* REST requests for a file in a remote filebucket are not handled
properly by reading streams or writing files on the Puppet master's
file system (CVE-2012-1987).
* File name paths are not properly sanitized from bucket requests
(CVE-2012-1988).
* The Telnet utility in Puppet does not handle temporary files securely
(CVE-2012-1989).
Impact
======
A local attacker with access to agent SSL keys could possibly execute
arbitrary code with the privileges of the process, cause a Denial of
Service condition, or perform symlink attacks to overwrite or read
arbitrary files on the Puppet master.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All Puppet users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-admin/puppet-2.7.13"
