DLA 1068-1: git security update




Package : git
Version : 1:1.7.10.4-1+wheezy5
CVE ID : CVE-2017-1000117

Joern Schneeweisz discovered that git, a distributed revision control
system, did not correctly handle maliciously constructed ssh://
URLs. This allowed an attacker to run an arbitrary shell command, for
instance via git submodules.

For Debian 7 "Wheezy", these problems have been fixed in version
1:1.7.10.4-1+wheezy5.

We recommend that you upgrade your git packages.

DLA 1069-1: tenshi security update




Package : tenshi
Version : 0.13-2+deb7u1
CVE ID : CVE-2017-11746
Debian Bug : 871321

Tenshi creates a tenshi.pid file after dropping privileges to a non-root
account, which might allow local users to kill arbitrary processes by
leveraging access to this non-root account for tenshi.pid modification before a
root script executes a "kill `cat /pathname/tenshi.pid`" command.

For Debian 7 "Wheezy", these problems have been fixed in version
0.13-2+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your tenshi packages.
