Detail
| Jens Steube discovered that ppxp, yet another PPP program, does not release root privileges when opening potentially user supplied log files. This can be tricked into opening a root shell. For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 0.2001080415-6woody1. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 0.2001080415-11. We recommend that you upgrade your ppxp package. |
