cdrtools vulnerability Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : These remote packages are missing security patches : - cdda2wav - cdrecord - cdrtools-doc - mkisofs Description : Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña noticed that cdrecord created temporary files in an insecure manner if DEBUG was enabled in /etc/cdrecord/rscsi. If the default value was used (which stored the debug output file in /tmp), this could permit a symbolic link attack to create or overwrite arbitrary files with the rights of the user invoking cdrecord. Please note that DEBUG is not enabled by default in Ubuntu, so if you did not explicitly enable it, this does not affect you. Solution : Upgrade to : - cdda2wav-2.0+a30.pre1-1ubuntu2.2 (Ubuntu 4.10) - cdrecord-2.0+a30.pre1-1ubuntu2.2 (Ubuntu 4.10) - cdrtools-doc-2.0+a30.pre1-1ubuntu2.2 (Ubuntu 4.10) - mkisofs-2.0+a30.pre1-1ubuntu2.2 (Ubuntu 4.10) Network Security Threat Level: High Networks Security ID: Vulnerability Assessment Copyright: Ubuntu Security Notice (C) 2005 Canonical, Inc. / NASL script (C) 2005 Michel Arboi |
