subject: We are losing the browser war
posted on: Jan 27th 2001, 23:59 EST
category: Editorial
body:
Anonymous has had his eye on his Web server logs lately, and is
worried at the shift in the ratio of Netscape to IE browsers hitting
his pages. He worries that, if we're not careful, this trend on the
desktop could undo all the progress Linux has made in the server room,
and he offers some ideas on how we could fix things.

Former versions of the exmh program used /tmp for storing temporary files.
No checks were made to ensure that nobody placed a symlink with the same
name in /tmp in the meantime and thus was vulnerable to a symlink attack.
This could lead to a malicious local user being able to overwrite any file
writable by the user executing exmh. Upstream developers have reported and
fixed this. The exmh program
now use /tmp/login now unless TMPDIR or EXMHTMPDIR is set.

homepage: http://www.debian.org/

body:
The Zend people have found a vulnerability in older versions of PHP4 (the
original advisory speaks of 4.0.4 while the bugs are present in 4.0.3 as
well). It is possible to specify PHP directives on a per-directory basis
which leads to a remote attacker crafting an HTTP request that would cause
the next page to be served with the wrong
values for these directives. Also even if PHP is nstalled, it can be
activated and deactivated on a per-directory or per-virtual host basis
using the engine=on or engine=off directive. This setting can be
leaked to other virtual hosts on the same machine, effectively disabling
PHP for those hosts and resulting in PHP source code being sent to the
client instead of being executed on the server. Updated packages are
available from security.debian.org.

body:
WireX discovered a potential temporary file race condition in the way that
squid sends out email messages notifying the administrator about updating
the program. This could lead to arbitrary files to get overwritten.
However the code would only be executed if running a very bleeding edge
release of squid, running a server whose time is set some number of months
in the past and squid is crashing. Read it
as hardly to exploit. This version also containes more upstream bugfixes
wrt. dots in hostnames and unproper HTML quoting. Debian packages are

name: BusyBox 0.49
posted on: Jan 27th 2001, 05:50 EST
license: GPL
category: Console/Embedded
homepage: http://freshmeat.net/projects/busybox/homepage/
download: http://freshmeat.net/projects/busybox/download/
changelog: http://freshmeat.net/projects/busybox/changelog/
description:
BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a
single small executable. It provides minimalist replacements for most
of the utilities you usually find in GNU fileutils, shellutils, etc.
The utilities in BusyBox generally have fewer options than their
full-featured GNU cousins; however, the options that are included
provide the expected functionality and behave very much like their GNU
counterparts. BusyBox provides a fairly complete POSIX environment for
any small or embedded system.
changes:
This release includes several new applets, as well as many bugfixes and
clean-ups.
