Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in GNUstep Base 1.24.6. It has been classified as problematic. This affects an unknown part of the component Daemon Mode. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a input validation vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-20. The product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly. This is going to have an impact on availability. The summary by CVE is:

Tools/gdomap.c in gdomap in GNUstep Base 1.24.6 and earlier, when run in daemon mode, does not properly handle the file descriptor for the logger, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (abort) via an invalid request.

The weakness was presented 04/28/2014 by Matthew Daley (Website). The advisory is shared at svn.gna.org. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2014-2980 since 04/21/2014. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available.

The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 79973 (GLSA-201412-20 : GNUstep Base library: Denial of Service), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Gentoo Local Security Checks.
