Debian Security Advisory DSA 679-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Martin Schulze
February 14th, 2005 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : toolchain-source
Vulnerability : insecure temporary files
Problem-Type : local
Debian-specific: yes
CVE ID : CAN-2005-0159
Sean Finney discovered several insecure temporary file uses in toolchain-source, the GNU binutils and GCC source code and scripts. These bugs can lead a local attacker with minimal knowledge to trick the admin into overwriting arbitrary files via a symlink attack. The problems exist inside the Debian-specific tpkg-* scripts.
For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 3.0.4-1woody1.
For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 3.4-5.
We recommend that you upgrade your toolchain-source package.
