Subject: [SECURITY] New version of tcsh released
Debian Security Advisory security@debian.org http://www.debian.org/security/ Wichert Akkerman November 11, 2000
Package: tcsh
Vulnerability: local exploit
Debian-specific: no
Proton reported on bugtraq that tcsh did not handle in-here
documents correctly. The version of tcsh that is distributed with
Debian GNU/Linux 2.2r0 also suffered from this problem.
When using in-here documents using the << syntax tcsh uses
a temporary file to store the data. Unfortunately the temporary
file is not created securely and standard symlink attacks can be
used to make tcsh overwrite arbitrary files.
This has been fixed in version 6.09.00-10 and we recommend that
you upgrade your tcsh package 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.
