Detail

The bugfix for the problem mentioned below contained an error that caused third party programs to fail. The problem is corrected by this update. For completeness we're including the original advisory text:

François-René Rideau discovered a bug in common-lisp-controller, a Common Lisp source and compiler manager, that allows a local user to compile malicious code into a cache directory which is executed by another user if that user has not used Common Lisp before.

The old stable distribution (woody) is not affected by this problem.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 4.15sarge3.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 4.18.

We recommend that you upgrade your common-lisp-controller package.

19385 common-lisp-controller Cache Directory Owership Weakness Privilege Escalation

Common-lisp-controller allows a local attacker to insert malicious code into the cache directory. Due to a failure to check ownership of the cache directory, this code may be automatically executed by other users when they use common lisp for the first time.
