Subject: [SECURITY] [DSA 033-1] New versions of analog
available
Debian Security Advisory DSA-033-1 [email protected] http://www.debian.org/security/ Martin Schulze March 7, 2001 -
Package : analog Vulnerability : Buffer overflow Type : Remote exploit Debian-specific: no
The author of analog, Stephen Turner, has found a buffer overflow
bug in all versions of analog except of version 4.16. A malicious
user could use an ALIAS command to construct very long strings
which were not checked for length and boundaries. This bug is
particularly dangerous if the form interface (which allows unknown
users to run the program via a CGI script) has been installed.
There doesn’t seem to be a known exploit.
The bugfix has been backported to the version of analog from
Debian 2.2. Version 4.01-1potato1 is fixed.
We recommend you upgrade your analog packages immediately.
