Debian Security Advisory DSA-1561-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Thijs Kinkhorst
April 28, 2008 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : ldm
Vulnerability : programming error
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CVE-2008-1293
Debian Bug : 469462
Christian Herzog discovered that within the Linux Terminal Server Project,
it was possible to connect to X on any LTSP client from any host on the
network, making client windows and keystrokes visible to that host.
NOTE: most ldm installs are likely to be in a chroot environment exported
over NFS, and will not be upgraded merely by upgrading the server itself.
For example, on the i386 architecture, to upgrade ldm will likely require:
chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 apt-get update
chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 apt-get dist-upgrade
For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.99debian11+etch1.
For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 2:0.1~bzr20080308-1.
We recommend that you upgrade your ldm package.
