- Date Reported:
- 28 Apr 2008
- Affected Packages:
- ldm
- Vulnerable:
- Yes
- Security database references:
- In the Debian bugtracking system: Bug 469462.
In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2008-1293. - More information:
-
Christian Herzog discovered that within the Linux Terminal Server Project, it was possible to connect to X on any LTSP client from any host on the network, making client windows and keystrokes visible to that host.
NOTE: most ldm installs are likely to be in a chroot environment exported over NFS, and will not be upgraded merely by upgrading the server itself. For example, on the i386 architecture, to upgrade ldm will likely require:
chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 apt-get update chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 apt-get dist-upgradeFor the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 0.99debian11+etch1.
For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 2:0.1~bzr20080308-1.
We recommend that you upgrade your ldm package.
- Fixed in:
-
Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 (etch)
