Background

gpsd is a GPS daemon and library for USB/serial GPS devices and GPS/mapping clients.

Description

A stack-based buffer overflow was discovered in gpsd on port 2947/TCP or crafted JSON inputs.

Impact

A remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the process, or cause a Denial of Service condition.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All gpsd users should upgrade to the latest version:

 # emerge --sync
 # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sci-geosciences/gpsd-3.18"
