(Hashcash: Format string vulnerability)


    Tavis Ormandy of the Gentoo Linux Security Audit Team identified a
    flaw in the Hashcash utility that an attacker could expose by
    specifying a malformed reply address.
  
Impact

    Successful exploitation would permit an attacker to disrupt
    Hashcash users, and potentially execute arbitrary code.
  
Workaround

    There is no known workaround at this time.
  

Solution: 
    All Hashcash users should upgrade to the latest version:
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-misc/hashcash-1.16-r1"
  

Risk factor : Medium
