    Package : oprofile
    Vulnerability : command injection
    Problem type : local
    Debian-specific: no
    Debian bug : 624212
    CVE ID : CVE-2011-1760

    OProfile is a performance profiling tool which is configurable by opcontrol, its
    control utility. Stephane Chauveau reported several ways to inject arbitrary commands in the arguments of this utility. If a local unprivileged user is authorized by sudoers file to run opcontrol as root, this user could use the flaw to escalate his privileges.


    For the oldstable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
    version 0.9.3-2+lenny1.

    For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
    version 0.9.6-1.1+squeeze1.

    For the testing distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in
    version 0.9.6-1.2.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
    version 0.9.6-1.2.

    We recommend that you upgrade your oprofile packages.
