    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Debian Security Advisory DSA-1973-1 [email protected] http://www.debian.org/security/ Aurelien Jarno
    January 19, 2010 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Package : glibc, eglibc
    Vulnerability : information disclosure
    Problem type : local
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE Id : CVE-2010-0015
    Debian Bug : 560333

    Christoph Pleger has discovered that the GNU C Library (aka glibc) and
    its derivatives add information from the passwd.adjunct.byname map to
    entries in the passwd map, which allows local users to obtain the
    encrypted passwords of NIS accounts by calling the getpwnam function.


    For the oldstable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
    version 2.3.6.ds1-13etch10 of the glibc package.

    For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
    version 2.7-18lenny2 of the glibc package.

    For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
    version 2.10.2-4 of the eglibc package.


    We recommend that you upgrade your glibc or eglibc 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.
