SecurityTracker Alert ID:  1010541
SecurityTracker URL:  http://securitytracker.com/id/1010541
CVE Reference:   CAN-2004-0451   (Links to External Site)
Date:  Jun 19 2004
Impact:   Execution of arbitrary code via network, User access via network
Fix Available:  Yes  Vendor Confirmed:  Yes  
Version(s): prior to Debian 1.8-8
Description:   A format string vulnerability was reported in sup. A remote user may be able to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Debian reported that jaguar@felinemenace.org discovered a format string vulnerability in sup. A remote user may be able to cause arbitrary code to be executed with the privileges of the supfilesrv process.

The flaws are due to syslog(3) calls in the logquit, logerr, and loginfo functions that are made without the appropriate format string specifiers.

Impact:   A remote user may be able to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the supfilesrv process.
Solution:   Debian has issued a fix for the current stable distribution (woody) in version 1.8-8woody2.

Problem-Type   : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Ids        : CAN-2004-0451

jaguar@felinemenace.org discovered a format string vulnerability in
sup, a set of programs to synchronize collections of files across a
number of machines, whereby a remote attacker could potentially cause
arbitrary code to be executed with the privileges of the supfilesrv
process (this process does not run automatically by default).

CAN-2004-0451: format string vulnerabilities in sup via syslog(3) in
logquit, logerr, loginfo functions

For the current stable distribution (woody), this problem has been
fixed in version 1.8-8woody2.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you update your sup package.
