Debian: New ldm packages fix information disclosure
Summary
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------Debian Security Advisory DSA-1561-1 security@debian.org http://www.debian.org/security/ Thijs Kinkhorst April 28, 2008 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - ------------------------------------------------------------------------Package : ldm Vulnerability : programming error Problem type : remote Debian-specific: no CVE Id(s) : CVE-2008-1293 Debian Bug : 469462 Christian Herzog discovered that within the Linux Terminal Server Project, it was possible to connect to X on any LTSP client from any host on the network, making client windows and keystrokes visible to that host. NOTE: most ldm installs are likely to be in a chroot environment exported over NFS, and will not be upgraded merely by upgrading the server itself. For example, on the i386 architecture, to upgrade ldm will likely require: chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 apt-get update chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 apt-get dist-upgrade For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 0.99debian11+etch1. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 2:0.1~bzr20080308-1. We recommend that you upgrade your ldm package. Upgrade instructions - --------------------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.
