Debian Security Advisory DSA 704-1 [email protected]

Package : remstats
Vulnerability : tempfile, missing input sanitising
Problem-Type : local, remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE IDs : CAN-2005-0387 CAN-2005-0388
Jens Steube discovered several vulnerabilities in remstats, the remote
statistics system. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project
identifies the following problems:
CAN-2005-0387
When processing uptime data on the unix-server a temporary file is
opened in an insecure fashion which could be used for a symlink
attack to create or overwrite arbitrary files with the permissions
of the remstats user.
CAN-2005-0388
The remoteping service can be exploited to execute arbitrary
commands due to missing input sanitising.
For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.00a4-8woody1.
For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.0.13a-5.
We recommend that you upgrade your remstats packages.
