 desc = 'The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200411-04
(Speedtouch USB driver: Privilege escalation vulnerability)


    The Speedtouch USB driver contains multiple format string vulnerabilities
    in modem_run, pppoa2 and pppoa3. This flaw is due to an improperly made
    syslog() system call.
  
Impact

    A malicious local user could exploit this vulnerability by causing a buffer
    overflow, and potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code with
    escalated privileges.
  
Workaround

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Solution: 
    All Speedtouch USB driver users should upgrade to the latest version:
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-dialup/speedtouch-1.3.1"
  

Risk factor : High
