Problem-Type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CAN-2005-1850 CAN-2005-1851 CAN-2005-1916
Debian Bug : 317027 318059

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in ekg, a console Gadu Gadu client, an instant messaging program. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following vulnerabilities:

CAN-2005-1850

Marcin Owsiany and Wojtek Kaniewski discovered insecure temporary file creation in contributed scripts.

Marcin Owsiany and Wojtek Kaniewski discovered potential shell command injection in a contributed script.

CAN-2005-1916

Eric Romang discovered insecure temporary file creation and arbitrary command execution in a contributed script that can be exploited by a local attacker.

The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain an ekg package.

For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 1.5+20050411-4.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 1.5+20050712+1.6rc2-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your ekg package.
