Debian 10: DLA-3706-1 Critical: Netatalk Symlink Exposure

debian lts
Calendar Grey January 4, 2024
Dist Debian Esm H88
Optimize your Netatalk configuration to rectify a significant symlink redirection vulnerability within Debian. Important update now available.
Corentin BAYET, Etienne HELLUY-LAFONT and Luca MORO of Synacktiv discovered a symlink redirection vulnerability in Netatalk, the Apple Filing Protocol service

Summary

By using the features of another file sharing protocol, like SMB, an
attacker could abuse this primitive to create an arbitrary symbolic link
and move it outside the share. The attacker could then reuse the created
symlink to write arbitrary files on the targeted system. On the targeted
device where it was demonstrated, writing arbitrary files on the system
resulted in a remote code execution.

For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version
3.1.12~ds-3+deb10u5.

We recommend that you upgrade your netatalk packages.
