-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA 460-2 security@debian.org http://www.debian.org/security/ Matt Zimmerman April 3rd, 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. The update used in DSA 460-1 did not fix every occurrence of the bug. DSA 460-2 includes a more complete fix. For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 4.0.4-1woody2. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 5.0.2-1. 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.
