Debian: DSA 918-1 Critical Fix For Osh Privilege Escalation Issues

Updated package.. - --------------------------------------------------------------------------Debian Security Advisory DSA 918-1 This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. http://www.debian.org/security/ Martin Schulze December 9th, 2005 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - --------------------------------------------------------------------------Package : osh Vulnerability : programming error Problem type : local Debian-specific: no CVE ID : CVE-2005-3347 CVE-2005-3533 Debian Bug : 338312 Several security related problems have been discovered in osh, the operator's shell for executing defined programs in a privileged environment. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following vulnerabilities: CVE-2005-3347 Charles Stevenson discovered a bug in the substitution of variables that allows a local attacker to open a root shell. CVE-2005-3533 Solar Eclipse discovered a buffer overflow caused by the current working directory plus a filename that could be used to execute arbitrary code and e.g. open a root shell. For the old stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 1.7-11woody2. For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 1.7-13sarge1. For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 1.7-15, however, the package has been removed entirely. We recommend that you upgrade your osh 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.
