[DSA704] DSA-704-1 remstats |

DSA-704-1 remstats Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Jens Steube discovered several vulnerabilities in remstats, the remote statistics system. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: When processing uptime data on the unix-server a temporary file is opened in an insecure fashion which could be used for a symlink attack to create or overwrite arbitrary files with the permissions of the remstats user. The remoteping service can be exploited to execute arbitrary commands due to missing input sanitising. For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 1.00a4-8woody1. For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 1.0.13a-5. We recommend that you upgrade your remstats packages.
