-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA-2182-1 security@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.debian.org/security/ March 04, 2011 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : logwatch Vulnerability : shell command injection Problem type : remote Debian-specific: no CVE ID : CVE-2011-0715 Debian Bug : 615995 Dominik George discovered that logwatch does not guard against shell meta-characters in crafted log file names (such as those produced by Samba). As a result, an attacker might be able to execute shell commands on the system running logwatch. For the oldstable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 7.3.6.cvs20080702-2lenny1. For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 7.3.6.cvs20090906-1squeeze1. For the testing distribution (wheezy) and the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 7.3.6.cvs20090906-2. We recommend that you upgrade your logwatch packages.
