Debian Security Advisory DSA-1772-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Florian Weimer

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : udev
Vulnerability : several
Problem type : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CVE-2009-1185 CVE-2009-1186

Sebastian Kramer discovered two vulnerabilities in udev, the /dev and
hotplug management daemon.

CVE-2009-1185

udev does not check the origin of NETLINK messages, allowing local
users to gain root privileges.

CVE-2009-1186

udev suffers from a buffer overflow condition in path encoding,
potentially allowing arbitrary code execution.

For the old stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in
version 0.105-4etch1.

For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in
version 0.125-7+lenny1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your udev package.

Upgrade instructions
- --------------------

wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
will install corrected packages

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
