DSA 1611-1: New afuse packages fix privilege escalation

Posted by Bob on: 07/16/2008 08:35 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-1611-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Thijs Kinkhorst
July 16, 2008 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : afuse
Vulnerability : privilege escalation
Problem type : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CVE-2008-2232
Debian Bug : 490921

Anders Kaseorg discovered that afuse, an automounting file system
in user-space, did not properly escape meta characters in paths.
This allowed a local attacker with read access to the filesystem to
execute commands as the owner of the filesystem.

For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.1.1-1+etch1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.2-3.

We recommend that you upgrade your afuse (0.1.1-1+etch1) 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.


Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 alias etch
