Debian Security Advisory DSA 050-1 security@debian.org http://www.debian.org/security/ Martin Schulze April 20, 2001
Package : sendfile
Vulnerability : broken privileges dropping, broken tempfile
Type : local root exploit
Debian-specific: no
Colin Phipps and Daniel Kobras discovered and fixed several
serious bugs in the daemon `sendfiled’ which caused it to drop
privileges incorrectly. Exploiting this a local user can easily
make it execute arbitrary code under root privileges.
We recommend you upgrade your sendfile packages immediately.
wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.
You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 alias potato
Potato was released for the alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc and
sparc architectures.
