    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Debian Security Advisory DSA-1806-1 [email protected] http://www.debian.org/security/ Moritz Muehlenhoff
    May 24, 2009 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Package : cscope
    Vulnerability : buffer overflows
    Problem type : local(remote)
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE Id(s) : CVE-2009-0148
    Debian Bug : 528510

    Matt Murphy discovered that cscope, a source code browsing tool, does not verify the length of file names sourced in include statements, which may potentially lead to the execution of arbitrary code through specially
    crafted source code files.

    For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
    version 15.6-6+lenny1.

    Due to a technical limitation in the Debian archive management scripts
    the update for the old stable distribution (etch) cannot be released synchronously. It will be fixed in version 15.6-2+etch1 soon.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon.

    We recommend that you upgrade your cscope 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

    You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
    footer to the proper configuration.
