medium Nessus Plugin ID 22564

Synopsis

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

Description

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the backup utility storebackup. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

- CVE-2005-3146 Storebackup creates a temporary file predictably, which can be exploited to overwrite arbitrary files on the system with a symlink attack.

- CVE-2005-3147 The backup root directory wasn't created with fixed permissions, which may lead to inproper permissions if the umask is too lax.

- CVE-2005-3148 The user and group rights of symlinks are set incorrectly when making or restoring a backup, which may leak sensitive data.

Solution

Upgrade the storebackup package.

The old stable distribution (woody) doesn't contain storebackup packages.

For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 1.18.4-2sarge1.
