Summary
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------Debian Security Advisory DSA-1611-1 security@debian.org http://www.debian.org/security/ Thijs Kinkhorst July 16, 2008 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - ------------------------------------------------------------------------Package : afuse Vulnerability : privilege escalation Problem type : local Debian-specific: no CVE Id(s) : CVE-2008-2232 Debian Bug : 490921 Anders Kaseorg discovered that afuse, an automounting file system in user-space, did not properly escape meta characters in paths. This allowed a local attacker with read access to the filesystem to execute commands as the owner of the filesystem. For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 0.1.1-1+etch1. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 0.2-3. We recommend that you upgrade your afuse (0.1.1-1+etch1) 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.
