DSA 907-1: New ipmenu packages fix insecure temporary file creation

Posted by Bob on: 11/23/2005 06:22 AM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]

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

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Debian Security Advisory DSA 907-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Martin Schulze
November 23rd, 2005 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : ipmenu
Vulnerability : insecure temporary file
Problem type : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CVE-2004-2569
BugTraq ID : 10269
Debian Bug : 244709

Akira Yoshiyama noticed that ipmenu, an cursel iptables/iproute2 GUI,
creates a temporary file in an insecure fashion allowing a local
attacker to overwrite arbitrary files utilising a symlink attack.

For the old stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.0.3-4woody1

The stable distribution (sarge) does not contain the ipmenu package.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.0.3-5.

We recommend that you upgrade your ipmenu 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 3.0 alias woody

These files will probably be moved into the stable distribution on
its next update.
