DSA 1754-1: New roundup packages fix privilege escalation

Posted by Bob on: 04/09/2009 10:00 PM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]

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




-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Debian Security Advisory DSA-1754-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Florian Weimer
April 09, 2009 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : roundup
Vulnerability : insufficient access checks
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
Debian Bug : 518768

It was discovered that roundup, an issue tracker with a command-line,
web and email interface, allows users to edit resources in
unauthorized ways, including granting themselves admin rights.

This update introduces stricter access checks, actually enforcing the
configured permissions and roles. This means that the configuration
may need updating. In addition, user registration via the web
interface has been disabled; use the program "roundup-admin" from the
command line instead.

For the old stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.2.1-10+etch1.

For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.4.4-4+lenny1.

We recommend that you upgrade your roundup 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.
