From debian-security-announce@LISTS.DEBIAN.ORG Fri Nov 24 02:02:54 2000 From: debian-security-announce@LISTS.DEBIAN.ORG To: BUGTRAQ@SECURITYFOCUS.COM Date: Wed, 22 Nov 2000 18:46:44 -0800 Reply-To: security@debian.org Subject: [BUGTRAQ] [SECURITY] New version of ghostscript released -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Debian Security Advisory security@debian.org http://www.debian.org/security/ Wichert Akkerman November 23, 2000 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Package : gs Problem type : symlink attack Debian-specific: no ghostscript uses temporary files to do some of its work. Unfortunately the method used to create those files wasn't secure: mktemp was used to create a name for a temporary file, but the file was not opened safely. A second problem is that during build the LD_RUN_PATH environment variable was set to the empty string, which causes the dynamic linker to look in the current directory for shared libraries. Bot of these problems have been fixed in version 5.10-10.1. wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 alias potato - --------------------------------- Potato was released for alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc and sparc.
