-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Debian Security Advisory DSA 079-1 security@debian.org http://www.debian.org/security/ Martin Schulze September 24, 2001 Package : uucp Vulnerability : uucp uid/gid access Problem-Type : local exploit Debian-specific: no zen-parse has found a problem with Taylor UUCP as distributed with many GNU/Linux distributions. It was possible to make `uux' execute `uucp' with malicious commandline arguments which gives an attacker access to files owned by uid/gid uucp. This problem has been fixed in version of 1.06.1-11potato1 for Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 by using a patch that RedHat has provided. We recommend that you upgrade your uucp package immediately. 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.

Hewlett-Packard Company will not be liable for any consequences to any customer resulting from the customer's failure to fully implement instructions in this Security Bulletin as soon as possible. Because the vulnerability does not require a HP Secure OS 1.0 patch or re-packaging of the RPM affected by the bulletin, the RPMs have not been produced or tested by Hewlett-Packard Company. PROBLEM: Security flaw in the uuxqt utility of the uucp package. PLATFORM: Any system running HP Secure OS software for Linux Release 1.0 DAMAGE: Local users can gain inappropriate privileges SOLUTION: Apply the appropriate RPMs (see section B below) MANUAL ACTIONS: None AVAILABILITY: The RPMs are available now. A. Background Uuxqt is part of a remote command execution facility within uucp. A flaw exists that allows local users to gain inappropriate privileges.
