Format string vulnerability in the log function in Net::Server 0.87 and earlier, as used in Postfix Greylisting Policy Server (Postgrey) 1.18 and earlier, and possibly other products, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via format string specifiers that are not properly handled before being sent to syslog, as demonstrated using sender addresses to Postgrey.

Fixed version: >0.87

Reported: 2005-05-02

Kwalitee Issues

This is not the latest release. The following issues may have already been fixed in the newer releases.

has_meta_yml: Add a META.yml to the distribution. Your buildtool should be able to autogenerate it.

5 Extra Issues

has_meta_json

Add a META.json to the distribution. Your buildtool should be able to autogenerate it.

meta_yml_has_license

Define the license if you are using in Build.PL. If you are using MakeMaker (Makefile.PL) you should upgrade to ExtUtils::MakeMaker version 6.31.

use_warnings

Add 'use warnings' (or its equivalents) to all modules, or convince us that your favorite module is well-known enough and people can easily see the modules warn when something bad happens.

Error: Net::Server, Net::Server::Daemonize, Net::Server::Fork, Net::Server::INET, Net::Server::MultiType, Net::Server::Multiplex, Net::Server::PreFork, Net::Server::PreForkSimple, Net::Server::Proto, Net::Server::Proto::SSL, Net::Server::Proto::TCP, Net::Server::Proto::UDP, Net::Server::Proto::UNIX, Net::Server::SIG, Net::Server::Single

no_invalid_versions

Fix the version numbers so that version::is_lax($version) returns true.

consistent_version

Split the distribution, or fix the version numbers to make them consistent (use the highest version number to avoid version downgrade).
