Debian DSA-901-1 : gnump3d - programming error

medium Nessus Plugin ID 22767

Synopsis

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

Description

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in gnump3d, a streaming server for MP3 and OGG files. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project identifies the following problems :

 - CVE-2005-3349 Ludwig Nussel discovered several temporary files that are created with predictable filenames in an insecure fashion and allows local attackers to craft symlink attacks.

 - CVE-2005-3355 Ludwig Nussel discovered that the theme parameter to HTTP requests may be used for path traversal.

Solution

Upgrade the gnump3 package.

The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain a gnump3d package.

For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 2.9.3-1sarge3.
