Debian: DSA-2302-1: bcfg2 security update
Summary
It has been discovered that the bcfg2 server, a configuration management
server for bcfg2 clients, is not properly sanitizing input from bcfg2
clients before passing it to various shell commands. This enables an
attacker in control of a bcfg2 client to execute arbitrary commands on
the server with root privileges.
For the oldstable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.9.5.7-1.1+lenny1.
For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.0.1-3+squeeze1
For the testing distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.1.2-2.
For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.1.2-2.
We recommend that you upgrade your bcfg2 packages.
