Debian DSA-811-2 : common-lisp-controller - design error

medium Nessus Plugin ID 19690

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

The bugfix for the problem mentioned below contained an error that caused third-party programs to fail. The problem is corrected by this update. For completeness we're including the original advisory text :

 Francois-Rene Rideau discovered a bug in common-lisp-controller, a Common Lisp source and compiler manager, that allows a local user to compile malicious code into a cache directory which is executed by another user if that user has not used Common Lisp before.

Solution

Upgrade the common-lisp-controller package.

The old stable distribution (woody) is not affected by this problem.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 4.15sarge3.
