Debian Security Advisory
DSA-197-1 courier -- buffer overflow
- Date Reported:
- 15 Nov 2002
- Affected Packages:
- courier
- Vulnerable:
- Yes
- Security database references:
- In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2002-1311.
- More information:
-
A problem in the Courier sqwebmail package, a CGI program to grant authenticated access to local mailboxes, has been discovered. The program did not drop permissions fast enough upon startup under certain circumstances so a local shell user can execute the sqwebmail binary and manage to read an arbitrary file on the local filesystem.
This problem has been fixed in version 0.37.3-2.3 for the current stable distribution (woody) and in version 0.40.0-1 for the unstable distribution (sid). The old stable distribution (potato) does not contain Courier sqwebmail packages.
courier-sslpackages are also not affected since they don't expose an sqwebmail package.We recommend that you upgrade your sqwebmail package immediately.
- Fixed in:
-
Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 (woody)
