DSA-430-1 trr19 -- missing privilege release
- Date Reported:
- 28 Jan 2004
- Affected Packages:
- trr19
- Vulnerable:
- Yes
- Security database references:
- In the Bugtraq database (at SecurityFocus): BugTraq ID 9520.
In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2004-0047. - More information:
-
Steve Kemp discovered a problem in trr19, a type trainer application for GNU Emacs, which is written as a pair of setgid() binaries and wrapper programs which execute commands for GNU Emacs. However, the binaries don't drop privileges before executing a command, allowing an attacker to gain access to the local group games.
For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 1.0beta5-15woody1. The mipsel binary will be added later.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon.
We recommend that you upgrade your trr19 package.
- Fixed in:
-
Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 (woody)
