Detail
| Marcus Meissner and Sebastian Krahmer discovered and fixed a temporary file vulnerability in the mm shared memory library. This problem can be exploited to gain root access to a machine running Apache which is linked against this library, if shell access to the user ``www-data'' is already available (which could easily be triggered through PHP). This problem has been fixed in the upstream version 1.2.0 of mm, which will be uploaded to the unstable Debian distribution while this advisory is released. Fixed packages for potato (Debian 2.2) and woody (Debian 3.0) are linked below. We recommend that you upgrade your libmm packages immediately. 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. Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 alias potato |
