Debian -- Security Information Wichert Akkerman November 25, 2000 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Package : mc Problem type : local DoS Debian-specific: no Maurycy Prodeus found a problem in cons.saver, a screensaver for the console that is included in the mc package. cons.saver does not check if it is started with a valid stdout, which combined with a bug in its check to see if its argument is a tty (it forgot to close the file-descriptor after opening the supposed tty) causes it to write a NUL character to the file given as its parameter. This has been fixed in version 4.5.42-11. wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 alias potato - --------------------------------- Potato was released for alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc and sparc.
