    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Debian Security Advisory DSA-2063-1 [email protected] http://www.debian.org/security/ Giuseppe Iuculano
    June 17, 2010 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Package : pmount
    Vulnerability : insecure temporary file
    Problem type : local
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE Id : CVE-2010-2192


    Dan Rosenberg discovered that pmount, a wrapper around the standard mount program which permits normal users to mount removable devices without a matching /etc/fstab entry, creates files in /var/lock insecurely.
    A local attacker could overwrite arbitrary files utilising a symlink attack.


    For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
    version 0.9.18-2+lenny1

    For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
    version 0.9.23-1, and will migrate to the testing distribution (squeeze) shortly.

    We recommend that you upgrade your pmount 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.
