Debian 2.2 DSA-092-1 Critical: wmtv Local Root Access Exploit

Nicolas Boullis found a nasty security problem in the wmtv (adockable video4linux tv player for windowmaker) package asdistributed in Debian GNU/Linux 2.2.. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Debian Security Advisory DSA-092-1 This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. Debian -- Security Information Wichert Akkerman December 6, 2001 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Package : wmtv Problem type : local root exploit Debian-specific: no Nicolas Boullis found a nasty security problem in the wmtv (a dockable video4linux tv player for windowmaker) package as distributed in Debian GNU/Linux 2.2. wmtv can optionally run a command if you double-click on the tv window. This command can be specified using the -e command-line option. However since wmtv is installed suid root this command was also run as root, which gives local users a very simple way to get root access. This has been fixed in version 0.6.5-2potato1 by dropping root privileges before executing the command. We recommend that you upgrade your wmtv package immediately. wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file.
