DSA 1522-1: New xwine packages fix several vulnerabilities

Posted by Bob on: 03/20/2008 08:30 PM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]

The Debian Security Team published a new security update for Debian GNU/Linux. Here the announcement:

Debian Security Advisory DSA-1526-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Steve Kemp
March 20, 2008 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : xwine
Vulnerability : various
Problem type : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CVE-2008-0930 CVE-2008-0931

Steve Kemp from the Debian Security Audit project discovered several local
vulnerabilities have been discovered in xwine, a graphical user interface
for the WINE emulator.

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following
problems:

CVE-2008-0930
The xwine command makes unsafe use of local temporary files when
printing. This could allow the removal of arbitrary files belonging
to users who invoke the program.

CVE-2008-0931
The xwine command changes the permissions of the global WINE configuration
file such that it is world-writable. This could allow local users to edit
it such that arbitrary commands could be executed whenever any local user
executed a program under WINE.

For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in version
1.0.1-1etch1.

We recommend that you upgrade your xwine package.


Upgrade instructions
- --------------------

wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
will install corrected packages

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
