Debian Security Advisory DSA 308-1 [email protected]
http://www.debian.org/security/ Matt Zimmerman
June 6th, 2003 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
Package : gzip
Vulnerability : insecure temporary files
Problem-Type : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE Ids : CVE-1999-1332, CAN-2003-0367
Paul Szabo discovered that znew, a script included in the gzip
package, creates its temporary files without taking precautions to
avoid a symlink attack (CAN-2003-0367).
The gzexe script has a similar vulnerability which was patched in an
earlier release but inadvertently reverted.
For the stable distribution (woody) both problems have been fixed in
version 1.3.2-3woody1.
For the old stable distribution (potato) CAN-2003-0367 has been fixed
in version 1.2.4-33.2. This version is not vulnerable to
CVE-1999-1332 due to an earlier patch.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon.
We recommend that you update your gzip package.
