+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Tavis Ormandy of the Gentoo Linux Security Audit Team discovered that
+ DenyHosts used an incomplete regular expression to parse failed login
+ attempts.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote unauthenticated attacker can add arbitrary hosts to the
+ blacklist by attempting to login with a specially crafted username. An
+ attacker may use this to prevent legitimate users from accessing a host
+ remotely.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All DenyHosts users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-admin/denyhosts-2.6&quot;</code>
