*** This bug is a security vulnerability *** Public security bug reported:
As long as it packaged for use in Ubuntu and derivates, someone should warn about it. Current version in repos is 2.1.7-9 ==================== No-IP has determined that the following advisory is applicable to one or more of the systems you have registered. Security Advisory - 2008-11-22 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Summary: Important: No-IP Linux DUC (Dynamic Update Client) An updated version of the No-IP Linux Dynamic Update Client that fixes a security issue is now available. This update has been rated as having important security impact. Description: Versions 2.1.1- > 2.1.8 are prone to a stack-based buffer-overflow due to a boundary error when processing HTTP responses received from the update server. This can be exploited and cause a stack-based buffer overflow when performing an update. A malicious user could exploit this by faking the No-IP update server via DNS poisoning or a man in the middle attack. This can cause a denial of service (client crash) or potentially execute arbitrary code on the computer the client is running on. Users running versions 2.1.8 and older are encouraged to upgrade to the most recent version, 2.1.9 at http://www.no-ip.com/downloads?page=linux&av=1 Regards, The No-IP Team Note: This email was sent from an unmonitored account.
