Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in Tunapie, a GUI frontend
to video and radio streams. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project identifies the following problems:
CVE-2009-1253
Kees Cook discovered that insecure handling of temporary files may
lead to local denial of service through symlink attacks.
CVE-2009-1254
Mike Coleman discovered that insufficient escaping of stream
URLs may lead to the execution of arbitrary commands if a user
is tricked into opening a malformed stream URL.
For the old stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed
in version 1.3.1-1+etch2. Due to a technical problem, this update cannot
be released synchronously with the stable (lenny) version, but will
appear soon.
For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in
version 2.1.8-2.
For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems will be fixed soon.
We recommend that you upgrade your tunapie package.
