Debian Security Advisory DSA 148-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Martin Schulze

Package : hylafax
Vulnerability : buffer overflows and format string vulnerabilities
Problem-Type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id : CAN-2001-1034
Bugtraq Id : 3357 5349 5348
A set of problems have been discovered in Hylafax, a flexible
client/server fax software distributed with many GNU/Linux
distributions. Quoting SecurityFocus the problems are in detail:
* A format string vulnerability makes it possible for users to
potentially execute arbitrary code on some implementations. Due to
insufficient checking of input, it's possible to execute a format
string attack. Since this only affects systems with the faxrm and
faxalter programs installed setuid, Debian is not vulnerable.
* A buffer overflow has been reported in Hylafax. A malicious fax
transmission may include a long scan line that will overflow a
memory buffer, corrupting adjacent memory. An exploid may result
in a denial of service condition, or possibly the execution of
arbitrary code with root privileges.
* A format string vulnerability has been discovered in faxgetty.
Incoming fax messages include a Transmitting Subscriber
Identification (TSI) string, used to identify the sending fax
machine. Hylafax uses this data as part of a format string without
properly sanitizing the input. Malicious fax data may cause the
server to crash, resulting in a denial of service condition.
* Marcin Dawcewicz discovered a format string vulnerability in hfaxd,
which will crash hfaxd under certain circumstances. Since Debian
doesn't have hfaxd installed setuid root, this problem can not
directly lead into a vulnerability. This has been fixed by Darren
Nickerson, which was already present in newer versions, but not in
the potato version.
These problems have been fixed in version 4.0.2-14.3 for the old
stable distribution (potato), in version 4.1.1-1.1 for the current
stable distribution (woody) and in version 4.1.2-2.1 for the unstable
distribution (sid).
We recommend that you upgrade your hylafax packages.
wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.
If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:
apt-get update
will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
will install corrected packages
You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
