Multiple local temp file vulnerabilities exist with previous versions of inn2.. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA-023-1 This email address is being protected from spambots.

Debian -- Security Information Martin Schulze January 26, 2001 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : inn2 Vulnerability : local tempfile vulnerabilities Debian-specific: no 1. People at WireX have found several potential insecure uses of temporary files in programs provided by INN2. Some of them only lead to a vulnerability to symlink attacks if the temporary directory was set to /tmp or /var/tmp, which is the case in many installations, at least in Debian packages. An attacker could overwrite any file owned by the news system administrator, i.e. owned by news.news. 2. Michal Zalewski found an exploitable buffer overflow with regard to cancel messages and their verification. This bug did only show up if "verifycancels" was enabled in inn.conf which is not the default and has been disrecommended by upstream. 3. Andi Kleen found a bug in INN2 that makes innd crash for two byte headers. There is a chance this can only be exploited with uucp. We recommend you upgrade your inn2 packages immediately. wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the footer to the proper configuration.
