Debian Security Advisory DSA-098-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Wichert Akkerman
January 9, 2002
- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : libgtop
Problem type : remote nobody exploit
Debian-specific: no
Two different problems where found in libgtop-daemon:
* The laboratory intexxia found a format string problem in the logging
code from libgtop_daemon. There were two logging functions which are
called when authorizing a client which could be exploited by a remote
user.
* Flavio Veloso found a buffer overflow in the function that authorizes
clients
Since libgtop_daemon runs as user nobody both bugs could be used
to gain access as the nobody user to a system running libgtop_daemon.
Both problems have been fixed in version 1.0.6-1.1 and we recommend
you upgrade your libgtop-daemon package immediately.
