CVE-2014-6272 libevent: Multiple integer overflow flaws were found in the evbuffer API of Libevent. (Bug #223760)

Product
SteelHead (Appliance)
Fixed in Version:
steelhead 9.0.1, steelhead 9.1.0, steelhead 8.6.3
Last Modified:
2015-08-28
Summary
Details: 

Multiple integer overflow flaws were found in the evbuffer API of libevent. An attacker, able to make an application pass on an excessively long input to the libevent via evbuffer API, could use this flaw to make the application enter an infinite loop crash, and, possibly, execute arbitrary code. 

Fix: 

The Libevent library has been removed from RiOS. Prior to this fix, RiOS was not impacted by this vulnerability since the Libevent library was not being used. 

Recommendation: 

Upgrade to a RiOS version that does not have the libevent library.
