Debian Security Advisory DSA 323-1 securitydebian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Matt Zimmerman
June 16th, 2003 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : noweb
Vulnerability : insecure temporary files
Problem-Type : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id : CAN-2003-0381

Jakob Lell discovered a bug in the 'noroff' script included in noweb
whereby a temporary file was created insecurely. During a review,
several other instances of this problem were found and fixed. Any of
these bugs could be exploited by a local user to overwrite arbitrary
files owned by the user invoking the script.

For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in
version 2.9a-7.3.

For old stable distribution (potato) this problem has been fixed in
version 2.9a-5.1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you update your noweb package.

Upgrade Instructions
- --------------------

wget url
        will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb

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.
