It is recommended that administrators running ocsinventory-agent check for an updated version of the software for their operating system. - --------------------------BEGIN INCLUDED TEXT-------------------- - -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA-1828-1 security@debian.org http://www.debian.org/security/ Nico Golde July 7th, 2009 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : ocsinventory-agent Vulnerability : insecure module search path Problem type : local Debian-specific: no Debian bug : 506416 CVE ID : CVE-2009-0667 It was discovered that the ocsinventory-agent which is part of the ocsinventory suite, a hardware and software configuration indexing service, is prone to an insecure perl module search path. As the agent is started via cron and the current directory (/ in this case) is included in the default perl module path the agent scans every directory on the system for its perl modules. This enables an attacker to execute arbitrary code via a crafted ocsinventory-agent perl module placed on the system. The oldstable distribution (etch) does not contain ocsinventory-agent. For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 1:0.0.9.2repack1-4lenny1. For the testing distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 1:0.0.9.2repack1-5 For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1:0.0.9.2repack1-5. We recommend that you upgrade your ocsinventory-agent packages. Upgrade instructions - - -------------------- wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file.
