Debian Security Advisory DSA 307-1 securityat_private
http://www.debian.org/security/ Matt Zimmerman
May 27th, 2003 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : gps
Vulnerability : multiple
Problem-Type : local, remote
Debian-specific: no
gPS is a graphical application to watch system processes. In release
1.1.0 of the gps package, several security vulnerabilities were fixed,
as detailed in the changelog:
* bug fix on rgpsp connection source acceptation policy
(it was allowing any host to connect even when the
/etc/rgpsp.conf file told otherwise)
It is working now, but on any real ("production")
network I suggest you use IP filtering to enforce
the policy (like ipchains or iptables)
* Several possibilities of buffer overflows have been
fixed. Thanks to Stanislav Ievlev from ALT-Linux for
pointing a lot of them.
* fixed misformatting of command line parameters in
rgpsp protocol (command lines with newlines would
break the protocol)
* fixed buffer overflow bug that caused rgpsp
to SIGSEGV when stating processes with large
command lines (>128 chars) [Linux only]
All of these problems affect Debian's gps package version 0.9.4-1 in
Debian woody. Debian potato also contains a gps package (version
0.4.1-2), but it is not affected by these problems, as the relevant
functionality is not implemented in that version.
For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in
version 0.9.4-1woody1.
The old stable distribution (potato) is not affected by these problems.
For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems are fixed in
version 1.1.0-1.
We recommend that you update your gps package.
