Debian: New wml packages fix denial of service
Summary
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------Debian Security Advisory DSA 1492-2 security@debian.org http://www.debian.org/security/ Martin Schulze April 27th, 2008 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - --------------------------------------------------------------------------Package : wml Vulnerability : insecure temporary files Problem type : local Debian-specific: no CVE IDs : CVE-2008-0665 CVE-2008-0666 Debian Bugs : 463907 471345 The security update DSA 1492-1 fixed the security problem below but introduced a new problem by not removing temporary directories in the ipp backend. This update corrects this. For completeness here is the original advisory text: Frank Lichtenheld and Nico Golde discovered that WML, an off-line HTML generation toolkit, creates insecure temporary files in the eperl and ipp backends and in the wmg.cgi script, which could lead to local denial of service by overwriting files. The old stable distribution (sarge) is not affected. For the stable distribution (etch) this problem has been fixed in version 2.0.11-1etch2. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 2.0.11ds1-0.2. We recommend that you upgrade your wml 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 at the end of this advisory: 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.
