| Test ID: | 1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.53743 |
| Category: | Debian Local Security Checks |
| Title: | Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-636-1) |
| Summary: | The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'glibc' package(s) announced via the DSA-636-1 advisory. |
| Description: | Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'glibc' package(s) announced via the DSA-636-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Several insecure uses of temporary files have been discovered in support scripts in the libc6 package which provides the c library for a GNU/Linux system. Trustix developers found that the catchsegv script uses temporary files insecurely. Openwall developers discovered insecure temporary files in the glibcbug script. These scripts are vulnerable to a symlink attack. For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 2.2.5-11.8. For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 2.3.2.ds1-20. We recommend that you upgrade your libc6 package. Affected Software/OS: 'glibc' package(s) on Debian 3.0. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 2.1 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N |
