[SECURITY] [DSA-259-1] qpopper user privilege escalation From: Michael Stone <mstone@klecker.debian.org> To: debian-security-announce@lists.debian.org Date: Wednesday 21.54.48 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA-259-1 security@debian.org http://www.debian.org/security/ Michael Stone March 12, 2003 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package: qpopper Vulnerability: mail user privilege escalation Debian-specific: no Florian Heinz <heinz@cronon-ag.de> posted to the Bugtraq mailing list an exploit for qpopper based on a bug in the included vsnprintf implementation. The sample exploit requires a valid user account and password, and overflows a string in the pop_msg() function to give the user "mail" group privileges and a shell on the system. Since the Qvsnprintf function is used elsewhere in qpopper, additional exploits may be possible. The qpopper package in Debian 2.2 (potato) does not include the vulnerable snprintf implementation. For Debian 3.0 (woody) an updated package is available in version 4.0.4-2.woody.3. Users running an unreleased version of Debian should upgrade to 4.0.4-9 or newer. We recommend you upgrade your qpopper package immediately. Upgrade Instructions - -------------------- wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for sources.list as given below: apt-get update will update the internal database apt-get upgrade will install corrected packages You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the footer to the proper configuration. For not yet released architectures please refer to the appropriate directory ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/sid/binary-$arch/ . Debian 3.0 (stable) - ------------------- Stable was released for alpha, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, m68k, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390 and sparc.
