DSA 1945-1: New gforge packages fix denial of service

Posted by: Bob on: 12/03/2009 02:55 PM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]

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

Hash: SHA1

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Debian Security Advisory DSA-1945-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Steffen Joeris
December 03, 2009 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : gforge
Vulnerability : symlink attack
Problem type : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CVE-2009-3304

Sylvain Beucler discovered that gforge, a collaborative development
tool, is prone to a symlink attack, which allows local users to perform
a denial of service attack by overwriting arbitrary files.


For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 4.7~rc2-7lenny3.

The oldstable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
version 4.5.14-22etch13.

For the testing distribution (squeeze), this problem will be fixed soon.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 4.8.2-1.


We recommend that you upgrade your gforge packages.


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.
