Debian: DSA 160-1 Critical: Scrollkeeper File Manipulation Risk

The scrollkeeper-get-cl program creates temporary files in an insecure manner in /tmp using guessable filenames. Since scrollkeeper is called automatically when a user logs into a Gnome session, an attacker with local access can easily create and overwrite files as another user.. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA 160-1 This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. Debian -- Security Information Martin Schulze September 3rd, 2002 Debian -- Debian security FAQ - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : scrollkeeper Vulnerability : insecure temporary file creation Problem-Type : local Debian-specific: no CVE Id : CAN-2002-0662 Spybreak discovered a problem in scrollkeeper, a free electronic cataloging system for documentation. The scrollkeeper-get-cl program creates temporary files in an insecure manner in /tmp using guessable filenames. Since scrollkeeper is called automatically when a user logs into a Gnome session, an attacker with local access can easily create and overwrite files as another user. This problem has been fixed in version 0.3.6-3.1 for the current stable distribution (woody) and in version 0.3.11-2 for the unstable distribution (sid). The old stable distribution (potato) is not affected, since it doesn't contain the scrollkeeper package. We recommend that you upgrade your scrollkeeper packages 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.

Red Hat Linux 7.3 RHSA-2002:186-07 Moderate: ScrollKeeper Tempfile Threat

Updated scrollkeeper packages are now available for Red Hat Linux 7.3 whichfix a tempfile vulnerability.. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Red Hat, Inc. Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Updated scrollkeeper packages fix tempfile vulnerability Advisory ID: RHSA-2002:186-07 Issue date: 2002-08-19 Updated on: 2002-08-28 Product: Red Hat Linux Keywords: scrollkeeper tmpfile symlink Cross references: Obsoletes: CVE Names: CAN-2002-0662 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Topic: Updated scrollkeeper packages are now available for Red Hat Linux 7.3 which fix a tempfile vulnerability. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Linux 7.3 - i386 3. Problem description: ScrollKeeper is a cataloging system for documentation. All versions of ScrollKeeper between 0.3 and 0.3.11 have a tempfile vulnerability. The scrollkeeper-get-cl command generates temporary files in the /tmp directory. These files are named scrollkeeper-tempfile.[0-4], and while creating these files scrollkeeper-get-cl follows symbolic links. These files are created when a user logs in to a GNOME session and are created as the user who logged in. This means an attacker with local access can easily create and overwrite files as another user. This errata updates ScrollKeeper packages for Red Hat Linux 7.3 with patches that prevent ScrollKeeper from following symlinks when creating temporary files. Previous releases of Red Hat Linux do not contain vulnerable versions of Scrollkeeper. Thanks go to Spybreak for discovering and responsibly disclosing this vulnerability. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied. To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run: rpm -Fvh [filenames] where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those RPMs which are currently installedwill be updated. Those RPMs which are not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the desired RPMs. Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system. 5. RPMs required: Red Hat Linux 7.3: SRPMS: i386: 6. Verification: MD5 sum Package Name -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3b2ca2295952d763516669a0a3dcc74d 7.3/en/os/SRPMS/scrollkeeper-0.3.4-5.src.rpm 392a5149a4b0e8abce9c350c88ee827a 7.3/en/os/i386/scrollkeeper-0.3.4-5.i386.rpm These packages are GPG signed by Red Hat, Inc. for security. Our key is available at: About You can verify each package with the following command: rpm --checksig If you only wish to verify that each package has not been corrupted or tampered with, examine only the md5sum with the following command: rpm --checksig --nogpg 7.
