Debian: DSA 330-1 Critical: Tcptraceroute Root Privileges

tcptraceroute is a setuid-root program which drops root privileges after obtaining a file descriptor used for raw packet capture. However, it did not fully relinquish all privileges, and in the event of an exploitable vulnerability, root privileges could be regained.. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA 330-1 This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. Debian -- Security Information Matt Zimmerman June 23rd, 2003 Debian -- Debian security FAQ - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : tcptraceroute Vulnerability : failure to drop root privileges Problem-Type : local Debian-specific: no tcptraceroute is a setuid-root program which drops root privileges after obtaining a file descriptor used for raw packet capture. However, it did not fully relinquish all privileges, and in the event of an exploitable vulnerability, root privileges could be regained. No current exploit is known, but this safeguard is being repaired in order to provide a measure of containment in the event that an exploitable flaw should be discovered. For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 1.2-2. The old stable distribution (potato) does not contain a tcptraceroute package. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem is fixed in version 1.4-4. We recommend that you update your tcptraceroute 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.
