    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Debian Security Advisory DSA-1674-1 [email protected] http://www.debian.org/security/ Moritz Muehlenhoff November 30, 2008 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Package : jailer
    Vulnerability : insecure temp file generation
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE Id(s) : CVE-2008-5139
    Debian Bug : 410548

    Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pena discovered that updatejail, a component
    of the chroot maintenance tool Jailer, creates a predictable temporary
    file name, which may lead to local denial of service through a symlink
    attack.

    For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
    version 0.4-9+etch1.

    For the upcoming stable distribution (lenny) and the unstable
    distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 0.4-10.

    We recommend that you upgrade your jailer 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.
