Debian Security Advisory DSA 323-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Matt Zimmerman
June 16th, 2003 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : noweb
Vulnerability : insecure temporary files
Problem-Type : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id : CAN-2003-0381
Jakob Lell discovered a bug in the 'noroff' script included in noweb
whereby a temporary file was created insecurely. During a review,
several other instances of this problem were found and fixed. Any of
these bugs could be exploited by a local user to overwrite arbitrary
files owned by the user invoking the script.
For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in
version 2.9a-7.3.
For old stable distribution (potato) this problem has been fixed in
version 2.9a-5.1.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon.
We recommend that you update your noweb package.
Upgrade Instructions
- --------------------

sources.list as given below:
