Debian: DSA 848-1 Critical: Masqmail Local Command Execution

Updated package.. - --------------------------------------------------------------------------Debian Security Advisory DSA 848-1 This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. http://www.debian.org/security/ Martin Schulze October 8th, 2005 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - --------------------------------------------------------------------------Package : masqmail Vulnerability : several Problem type : local Debian-specific: no CVE ID : CAN-2005-2662 CAN-2005-2663 Jens Steube discovered two vulnerabilities in masqmail, a mailer for hosts without permanent internet connection. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: CAN-2005-2662 When sending failed mail messages, the address is not sanitised, which allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary commands as the mail user. CAN-2005-2663 When opening the log file, masqmail does not relinquish privileges, which allows a local attacker to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack. For the old stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 0.1.16-2.2. For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 0.2.20-1sarge1. For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 0.2.20-1sarge1. We recommend that you upgrade your masqmail 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 below: 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.

Debian 3.0 DSA 194-1 Critical: Masqmail Local Exploit Details

A set of buffer overflows have been discovered in masqmail, a mail transport agent for hosts without permanent internet connection.. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA 194-1 This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. Debian -- Security Information Martin Schulze November 12th, 2002 Debian -- Debian security FAQ -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : masqmail Vulnerability : buffer overflows Problem-Type : local Debian-specific: no CVE Id : CAN-2002-1279 A set of buffer overflows have been discovered in masqmail, a mail transport agent for hosts without permanent internet connection. In addition to this privileges were dropped only after reading a user supplied configuration file. Together this could be exploited to gain unauthorized root access to the machine on which masqmail is installed. These problems have been fixed in version 0.1.16-2.1 for the current stable distribution (woody) and in version 0.2.15-1 for the unstable distribution (sid). The old stable distribution (potato) is not affected since it doesn't contain a masqmail package. We recommend that you upgrade your masqmail package immediately. 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 below: 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.
