-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA 192-2 security@debian.org http://www.debian.org/security/ Martin Schulze December 6th, 2002 ://www.debian.org/security/faq - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : html2ps Vulnerability : arbitrary code execution Problem-Type : local Debian-specific: no The security update from DSA 192-1 contained a syntax error which is now fixed. For completeness we include the text of the old advisory: The SuSE Security Team found a vulnerability in html2ps, a HTML to PostScript converter, that opened files based on unsanitized input insecurely. This problem can be exploited when html2ps is installed as filter within lrpng and the attacker has previously gained access to the lp account. This problem has been fixed in version 1.0b3-1.2 for the current stable distribution (woody), in version 1.0b1-8.2 for the old stable distribution (potato) and in version 1.0b3-3 for the unstable distribution (sid). We recommend that you upgrade your html2ps package. 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.
