DTSA-26-1

+
+
Date Reported:
+
December 5th, 2005
+
Affected Package:
+
trackballs
+
Vulnerability:
+
symlink attack
+
Problem-Scope:
+
remote/local
+
Debian-specific:
+
No
+
CVE:
+
+None +
+
More information:
+
Ulf Harnhammar notices that that trackballs follows symlinks when running as 
+gid games. It writes to files such as $HOME/.trackballs/[USERNAME].gmr and 
+$HOME/.trackballs/settings without checking if they are symlinks somewhere 
+else. This can be abused for overwriting or creating files wherever the games 
+group is allowed to do so. 
+
+
For the testing distribution (etch) this is fixed in version 1.1.1-0.0etch1
+
For the unstable distribution (sid) this is fixed in version 1.1.1-1
+
This upgrade is recommended if you use trackballs.
+
If you have the secure testing lines in your sources.list, you can update by running this command as root:
+ +
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
+
+ +
+
