Debian Security Advisory DSA 959-1                     security@debian.org

Package        : unalz
Vulnerability  : buffer overflow
Problem-Type   : local (remote)
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID         : CVE-2005-3862
Debian Bug     : 340842

Ulf Härnhammer from the Debian Audit Project discovered that unalz, a
decompressor for ALZ archives, performs insufficient bounds checking
when parsing file names.  This can lead to arbitrary code execution if
an attacker provides a crafted ALZ archive.

The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain unalz.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.30.1

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your unalz 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.
