-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA 538-1 security@debian.org http://www.debian.org/security/ Martin Schulze August 17th, 2004 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : rsync Vulnerability : unsanitised input processing Problem-Type : remote Debian-specific: no Debian Bug : 265662 The rsync developers have discoverd a security related problem in rsync, a fast remote file copy program, which offers an attacker to access files outside of the defined directory. To exploit this path-sanitizing bug, rsync has to run in daemon mode with the chroot option being disabled. It does not affect the normal send/receive filenames that specify what files should be transferred. It does affect certain option paths that cause auxilliary files to be read or written. For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 2.5.5-0.6. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 2.6.2-3. We recommend that you upgrade your rsync package. 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.
