One neat: VuXML entry should read "faxspool in mgetty...", not the "axspool in mgetty'. -- Eygene _ ___ _.--. # \`.|\..----...-'` `-._.-'_.-'` # Remember that it is hard / ' ` , __.--' # to read the on-line manual )/' _/ \ `-_, / # while single-stepping the kernel. `-'" `"\_ ,_.-;_.-\_ ', fsc/as # _.-'_./ {_.' ; / # -- FreeBSD Developers handbook {_.-``-' {_/ # |
Mgetty is guilty in the creation and usage of insecure temporary files. Fix: The following patch fixes the bug in the current version of FreeBSD port. The following VuXML entry should be evaluated and added: <vuln vid="46fdde22-c3d1-11dd-b08d-001fc66e7203"> <topic>mgetty+sendfax -- symlink attack via insecure temporary files</topic> <affects> <package> <name>mgetty</name> <range><lt>1.1.35_2</lt></range> </package> </affects> <description> <body xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <p>Entry for CVE-2008-4936 says:</p> <blockquote cite="http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-4936"> <p>faxspool in mgetty 1.1.36 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on a /tmp/faxsp.##### temporary file.</p> </blockquote> </body> </description> <references> <cvename>CVE-2008-4936</cvename> <url>http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=496403</url> </references> <dates> <discovery>24-08-2008</discovery> <entry>TODAY</entry> </dates> </vuln> --- vuln.xml ends here -----YhBAk3yholxiFeTRbmDafbCMeNI3v5H1eHZd7VsjkqORxVHQ Content-Type: text/plain; name="fix-CVE-2008-4936.diff" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="fix-CVE-2008-4936.diff" From 1a2271c4270da1f286c66ef8b002adf6269150f8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eygene Ryabinkin <rea-fbsd@codelabs.ru> Date: Sat, 6 Dec 2008 23:10:26 +0300 Insecure temporary file usage was detected by Debian developer Dmitry Oboukhov, http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=496403 I am not updating the port to 1.1.36, since the bug is present even in this version and I can't test the new port. So now I am just patching current FreeBSD port version, 1.1.35.
