Package : ekg
Vulnerability : multiple vulnerabilities
Problem-Type : local and remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CAN-2005-1916 CAN-2005-1851 CAN-2005-1850 CAN-2005-1852 CAN-2005-2448
Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in ekg:
CAN-2005-1916
Eric Romang discovered insecure temporary file creation and arbitrary
command execution in a contributed script that can be exploited by a local
attacker.
CAN-2005-1851
Marcin Owsiany and Wojtek Kaniewski discovered potential shell command
injection in a contributed script.
CAN-2005-1850
Marcin Owsiany and Wojtek Kaniewski discovered insecure temporary file
creation in contributed scripts.
CAN-2005-1852
Multiple integer overflows in libgadu, as used in ekg, allows remote
attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute
arbitrary code via an incoming message.
CAN-2005-2448
Multiple endianness errors in libgadu in ekg allow remote attackers to
cause a denial of service (invalid behaviour in applications) on
big-endian systems.
For the testing distribution (etch) this is fixed in version
1:1.5+20050808+1.6rc3-0etch1.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this is fixed in version
1:1.5+20050808+1.6rc3-1.
This upgrade is recommended if you use ekg.
The Debian testing security team does not track security issues for the
stable distribution (woody). If stable is vulnerable, the Debian security
team will make an announcement once a fix is ready.
