Debian Security Advisory
DSA-814-1 lm-sensors -- insecure temporary file
- Date Reported:
- 15 Sep 2005
- Affected Packages:
- lm-sensors
- Vulnerable:
- Yes
- Security database references:
- In the Debian bugtracking system: Bug 324193.
In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2005-2672. - More information:
-
Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña discovered that a script of lm-sensors, utilities to read temperature/voltage/fan sensors, creates a temporary file with a predictable filename, leaving it vulnerable for a symlink attack.
The old stable distribution (woody) is not affected by this problem.
For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 2.9.1-1sarge2.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 2.9.1-7.
We recommend that you upgrade your lm-sensors package.
- Fixed in:
-
Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 (sarge)
