    - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA 1705-1 [email protected] http://www.debian.org/security/ Nico Golde January 15th, 2009 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
    - --------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Package : netatalk
    Vulnerability : missing input sanitising
    Problem type : local(remote)
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE ID : CVE-2008-5718
    Debian Bug : 510585

    It was discovered that netatalk, an implementation of the AppleTalk
    suite, is affected by a command injection vulnerability when processing PostScript streams via papd. This could lead to the execution of
    arbitrary code. Please note that this only affects installations that are configured to use a pipe command in combination with wildcard symbols substituted with values of the printed job.

    For the stable distribution (etch) this problem has been fixed in
    version 2.0.3-4+etch1.

    For the upcoming stable distribution (lenny) this problem has been fixed
    in version 2.0.3-11+lenny1.

    For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
    version 2.0.4~beta2-1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your netatalk 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 at the end of this advisory:

    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.
