Debian Security Advisory DSA-078-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Wichert Akkerman
September 24, 2001
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : slrn
Problem type : remote command invocation
Debian-specific: no
Byrial Jensen found a nasty problem in slrn (a threaded news reader).
The notice on slrn-announce describes it as follows:
When trying to decode binaries, the built-in code executes any shell
scripts the article might contain, apparently assuming they would be
some kind of self-extracting archive.
This problem has been fixed in version 0.9.6.2-9potato2 by removing
this feature.
wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.
Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 alias potato
- ---------------------------------
Potato was released for alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc and sparc.
