Debian Security Advisory DSA 460-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Matt Zimmerman
March 10th, 2004 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : sysstat
Vulnerability : insecure temporary file
Problem-Type : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE Ids : CAN-2004-0108
Alan Cox discovered that the isag utility (which graphically displays
data collected by the sysstat tools), creates a temporary file without
taking proper precautions. This vulnerability could allow a local
attacker to overwrite files with the privileges of the user invoking
isag.
For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has been
fixed in version 5.0.1-1.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon.
We recommend that you update your sysstat 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.
