Summary
- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------
GENTOO LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT 200304-09
- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------
FIXED VERSION : >=mgetty-1.1.29
- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------
* faxspool in mgetty before 1.1.29 uses a world-writable spool directory
for outgoing faxes, which allows local users to modify fax transmission
privileges.
* Buffer overflow in cnd-program for mgetty before 1.1.29 allows remote
attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary
code via a Caller ID string with a long CallerName argument.
SOLUTION
It is recommended that all Gentoo Linux users who are running
net-dialup/mgetty upgrade to mgetty-1.1.30 as follows:
emerge sync
emerge mgetty
emerge clean
