-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA-1817-1 security@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.debian.org/security/ Nico Golde June 17th, 2009 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : ctorrent Vulnerability : stack-based buffer overflow Problem type : local (remote) Debian-specific: no Debian bug : 530255 CVE ID : CVE-2009-1759 Michael Brooks discovered that ctorrent, a text-mode bittorrent client, does not verify the length of file paths in torrent files. An attacker can exploit this via a crafted torrent that contains a long file path to execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user opening the file. The oldstable distribution (etch) does not contain ctorrent. For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 1.3.4-dnh3.2-1+lenny1. For the testing distribution (squeeze), this problem will be fixed soon. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1.3.4-dnh3.2-1.1. We recommend that you upgrade your ctorrent packages. 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.
