  <title>Motion: Execution of arbitrary code</title>
  <synopsis>
    Multiple vulnerabilities in Motion might result in the execution of
    arbitrary code.

  <background>
    <p>
    Motion is a program that monitors the video signal from one or more
    cameras and is able to detect motions.

    <p>
    Nico Golde reported an off-by-one error within the read_client()
    function in the webhttpd.c file, leading to a stack-based buffer
    overflow. Stefan Cornelius (Secunia Research) reported a boundary error
    within the same function, also leading to a stack-based buffer
    overflow. Both vulnerabilities require that the HTTP Control interface
    is enabled.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by sending an
    overly long or specially crafted request to a vulnerable Motion HTTP
    control interface, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary
    code with the privileges of the motion user.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Motion users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-video/motion-3.2.10.1"</code>
  </resolution>
