Debian GNU/Linux Advisory: gps

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.
