    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Debian Security Advisory DSA-1754-1 [email protected] http://www.debian.org/security/ Florian Weimer
    April 09, 2009 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Package : roundup
    Vulnerability : insufficient access checks
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    Debian Bug : 518768

    It was discovered that roundup, an issue tracker with a command-line,
    web and email interface, allows users to edit resources in
    unauthorized ways, including granting themselves admin rights.

    This update introduces stricter access checks, actually enforcing the configured permissions and roles. This means that the configuration
    may need updating. In addition, user registration via the web
    interface has been disabled; use the program "roundup-admin" from the
    command line instead.

    For the old stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.2.1-10+etch1.

    For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.4.4-4+lenny1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your roundup 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.
