-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Debian Security Advisory security@debian.org http://www.debian.org/security/ Wichert Akkerman August 8, 2000 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Package : mailx Problem type : local exploit Debian-specific: no mailx is a often used by other programs to send email. Unfortunately mailx as distributed in Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 has some features that made it possible to execute system commands if a user can trick a privileged program to send email using /usr/bin/mail. This has been fixed in version 8.1.1-10.1.1slink.2 by no longer allowing all configuration options to be set using the environment. We recommend you upgrade your mailx package immediately. wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 alias slink - -------------------------------- This version of Debian was released only for Intel, the Motorola 680x0, the alpha and the Sun sparc architecture.
