+ <title>NX 2.1: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ NX in the 2.1 series uses XFree86 4.3 code which is prone to an integer
+ overflow vulnerability.

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ NoMachine's NX establishes remote connections to X11 desktops over
+ small bandwidth links. NX and NX Node are the compression core
+ libraries, whereas NX is used by FreeNX and NX Node by the binary-only
+ NX servers.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Chris Evans reported an integer overflow within the FreeType PCF font
+ file parser (CVE-2006-1861). NX and NX Node are vulnerable to this due
+ to shipping XFree86 4.3.0, which includes the vulnerable FreeType code.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could exploit these integer overflows by enticing a
+ user to load a specially crafted PCF font file which might lead to the
+ execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user on the
+ machine running the NX server.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All NX users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=net-misc/nx-3.0.0&quot;</code>
+ <p>
+ All NX Node users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=net-misc/nxnode-3.0.0-r3&quot;</code>
