Debian Security Advisory DSA-095-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Robert van der Meulen
December 27, 2001
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : gpm
Problem type : local root vulnerability
Debian-specific: no
The package 'gpm' contains the 'gpm-root' program, which can be used to
create mouse-activated menus on the console.
Among other problems, the gpm-root program contains a format string
vulnerability, which allows an attacker to gain root privileges.
This has been fixed in version 1.17.8-18.1, and we recommend that you upgrade
your 1.17.8-18 package immediately.
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.
