VUL-0: CVE-2004-1176: mc vulnerabilities
Last modified: 2021-10-27 11:50:11 UTC
We received the following report via bugtraq. The issue is public. Can't find the CAN numbers in Bugzilla. Do we have those issues patched? At least CAN-2004-1004, CAN-2004-1005 and CAN-2004-1175 sound potentially unhealthy. The DoS conditions are probably of the "who cares" kind ;-) Date: Fri, 14 Jan 2005 11:20:28 +0100 (CET) From: Martin Schulze <joey@infodrom.org> To: bugtraq@securityfocus.com Subject: [SECURITY] [DSA 639-1] New mc packages fix several vulnerabilities -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA 639-1 security@debian.org http://www.debian.org/security/ Martin Schulze January 14th, 2005 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : mc Vulnerability : several Problem-Type : remote Debian-specific: no CVE ID : CAN-2004-1004 CAN-2004-1005 CAN-2004-1009 CAN-2004-1090 CAN-2004-1091 CAN-2004-1092 CAN-2004-1093 CAN-2004-1174 CAN-2004-1175 CAN-2004-1176 Andrew V. Samoilov has noticed that several bugfixes which were applied to the source by upstream developers of mc, the midnight commander, a file browser and manager, were not backported to the current version of mc that Debian ships in their stable release. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project identifies the following vulnerabilities: CAN-2004-1004 Multiple format string vulnerabilities CAN-2004-1005 Multiple buffer overflows CAN-2004-1009 One infinite loop vulnerability CAN-2004-1090 Denial of service via corrupted section header CAN-2004-1091 Denial of service via null dereference CAN-2004-1092 Freeing unallocated memory CAN-2004-1093 Denial of service via use of already freed memory CAN-2004-1174 Denial of service via manipulating non-existing file handles CAN-2004-1175 Unintended program execution via insecure filename quoting CAN-2004-1176 Denial of service via a buffer underflow For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 4.5.55-1.2woody5 For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems should already be fixed since they were backported from current versions. We recommend that you upgrade your mc package. Upgrade Instructions - -------------------- wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. 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.
