Debian Security Advisory DSA-045-2 security@debian.org
Debian -- Security Information Michael Stone
April 9, 2001
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package: ntp
Vulnerability: remote root exploit
Debian-specific: no
Przemyslaw Frasunek <venglin@FREEBSD.LUBLIN.PL> reported that ntp
daemons such as that released with Debian GNU/Linux are vulnerable to a
buffer overflow that can lead to a remote root exploit. A previous
advisory (DSA-045-1) partially addressed this issue, but introduced a
potential denial of service attack. This has been corrected for Debian
2.2 (potato) in ntp version 4.0.99g-2potato2.
We recommend you upgrade your ntp package immediately.
wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.
You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 alias potato
