Package : rlpr
Vulnerability : several
Problem-Type : local, remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Ids : CAN-2004-0393 CAN-2004-0454

jaguar@felinemenace.org
discovered a format string vulnerability in rlpr, a utility for lpd
printing without using /etc/printcap. While investigating this
vulnerability, a buffer overflow was also discovered in related
code. By exploiting one of these vulnerabilities, a local or remote
user could potentially cause arbitrary code to be executed with the
privileges of 1) the rlprd process (remote), or 2) root
(local).

CAN-2004-0393: format string vulnerability via syslog(3) in
msg() function in rlpr

CAN-2004-0454: buffer overflow in msg() function in rlpr

For the current stable distribution (woody), this problem has
been fixed in version 2.02-7woody1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed
soon.

We recommend that you update your rlpr package.

Package : www-sql
Vulnerability : buffer overflow
Problem-Type : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE Ids : CAN-2004-0455

Advertisement

Ulf Härnhammar discovered a buffer overflow
vulnerability in www-sql, a CGI program which enables the creation
of dynamic web pages by embedding SQL statements in HTML. By
exploiting this vulnerability, a local user could cause the
execution of arbitrary code by creating a web page and processing
it with www-sql.

For the current stable distribution (woody), this problem has
been fixed in version 0.5.7-17woody1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed
soon.

We recommend that you update your www-sql package.
