Date: January 23, 2025

Synopsis
========

A vulnerability has been discovered in libuv, where hostname truncation
can lead to attacker-controlled lookups.

Background
==========

libuv is a multi-platform support library with a focus on asynchronous
I/O.

Affected packages
=================

Package Vulnerable Unaffected
-------------- ------------ ------------
dev-libs/libuv < 1.48.0 >= 1.48.0

Description
===========

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in libuv. Please review
the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.

Impact
======

The uv_getaddrinfo function in src/unix/getaddrinfo.c truncates
hostnames to 256 characters before calling getaddrinfo. This behavior
can be exploited to create addresses like 0x00007f000001, which are
considered valid by getaddrinfo and could allow an attacker to craft
payloads that resolve to unintended IP addresses, bypassing developer
checks.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All libuv users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/libuv-1.48.0"
