TITLE:
Debian update for XFS

READ ONLINE:
http://www.secunia.com/advisories/8572/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Exposure of system information, Privilege escalation

WHERE:
Local system

OPERATING SYSTEM:
Debian GNU/Linux unstable alias sid
Debian GNU/Linux 3.0

DESCRIPTION:
Debian has issued an update for XFS. This fixes a vulnerability
allowing local users to read quota information.

The problem is that the file containing the information is created
with insecure permissions.

According to other vendors this can be exploited to escalate
privileges. Debian however, states that it can only be used to read
quota information.

SOLUTION:
Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 alias woody
