Debian alert: New ht://Dig packages fix vulnerability
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA 080-1 security@debian.org http://www.debian.org/security/ Martin Schulze October 17th, 2001 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : htdig Vulnerability : unauthorized gathering of data Problem-Type : remote DoS, local information retrieval Debian-specific: no Nergal reported a vulnerability in the htsearch program which is distributed as part of the ht://Dig package, a indexing and searching system for small domains or intranets. Using former versions it was able to pass the parameter `-c' to the cgi program in order to use a different configuration file. A malicious user could point htsearch to a file like `/dev/zero' and let the server run in an endless loop, trying to read config parameters. If the user has write permission on the server he can point the program to it and retrive any file readable by the webserver user id. This problem has been fixed in version of 3.1.5-2.1 for Debian GNU/Linux 2.2. We recommend that you upgrade your htdig package immediately. 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.
