Debian Security Advisory DSA 1492-2 security ( -at -) debian.org

http://www.debian.org/security/ Martin Schulze

April 27th, 2008 http://www.debian.org/security/faq

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Package : wml

Vulnerability : insecure temporary files

Problem type : local

Debian-specific: no

CVE IDs : CVE-2008-0665 CVE-2008-0666

Debian Bugs : 463907 471345

 

The security update DSA 1492-1 fixed the security problem below but

introduced a new problem by not removing temporary directories in the

ipp backend. This update corrects this.

 

For completeness here is the original advisory text:

 

Frank Lichtenheld and Nico Golde discovered that WML, an off-line

HTML generation toolkit, creates insecure temporary files in the

eperl and ipp backends and in the wmg.cgi script, which could lead

to local denial of service by overwriting files.

 

The old stable distribution (sarge) is not affected.

 

For the stable distribution (etch) this problem has been fixed in

version 2.0.11-1etch2.

 

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in

version 2.0.11ds1-0.2.

 

We recommend that you upgrade your wml package.
