    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Debian Security Advisory DSA-1891-1 [email protected] http://www.debian.org/security/ Steffen Joeris
    September 22, 2009 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Package : changetrack
    Vulnerability : shell command execution
    Problem type : local
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE Id : CVE-2009-3233
    Debian Bug : 546791


    Marek Grzybowski discovered that changetrack, a program to monitor
    changes to (configuration) files, is prone to shell command injection
    via metacharacters in filenames. The behaviour of the program has been
    adjusted to reject all filenames with metacharacters.


    For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
    version 4.3-3+lenny1.

    For the oldstable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
    version 4.3-3+etch1.

    For the testing distribution (squeeze), this problem will be fixed soon.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
    version 4.5-2.


    We recommend that you upgrade your changetrack packages.
