Subject: [SECURITY] New version of userv released
—–BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE—–
Debian Security Advisory security@debian.org http://www.debian.org/security/ Wichert Akkerman July 27, 2000
Package : userv Problem type : local exploit Debian-specific: no
The version of userv that was distributed with Debian GNU/Linux 2.1
/ slink had a problem in the fd swapping algorithm: it could
sometimes make an out-of-bounds array reference. It might be
possible for local users to abuse this to carry out unauthorised
actions or be able to take control for service user accounts.
This has been fixed in version 1.0.1.0slink for Debian 2.1, and
version 1.0.1.1potato for Debian 2.2 .
We recommend you upgrade your uesrv 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
680×0, the alpha and the Sun sparc architecture.
