Debian 2.1: Security Advisory on Xlockmore Local Exploit

There is a format string bug in all versions of xlockmore/xlockmore-gl.. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Debian Security Advisory This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. Debian -- Security Information Michael Stone August 16, 2000 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Package: xlockmore, xlockmore-gl Vulnerability type: local exploit Debian-specific: no There is a format string bug in all versions of xlockmore/xlockmore-gl. Debian 2.1 (slink) installs xlock setgid by default, and this exploit can be used to gain read access to the shadow file. We recommend upgrading immediately. xlockmore is normally installed as an unprivileged program in Debian 2.2 (potato) and is not vulnerable in that configuration. xlockmore may be setuid/setgid for historical reasons or after upgrading from a previous Debian release; consult README.Debian in /usr/doc/xlockmore or /usr/doc/xlockmore-gl for information about xlock privileges and how to disable them. If your local environment requires xlock to be setgid, or if in doubt, you should upgrade to a fixed package immediately. Fixed packages are available in xlockmore/xlockmore-gl 4.12-5 for Debian 2.1 (slink) and xlockmore/xlockmore-gl 4.15-9 for Debian 2.2 (potato). wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file.
