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.
