Package: slim Version: 1.3.0-2 Severity: grave Tags: security Justification: user security hole X-Debbugs-Cc: t...@security.debian.org
If scrot is installed, users are able to overwrite arbitrary files in the filesystem. Pressing F11 on the slim login screen runs scrot with the root rights to save a screenshot to /tmp/slim.png. If this file is symlinked to another location, that location is overwritten instead. This bug is introduced by debian/patches/slim-conf.patch and hence Debian-specific - upstream saves the screenshot in the directory that is only writable by root. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (400, 'unstable'), (300, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages slim depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.27 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.9-12 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.4.0-5 GCC support library ii libjpeg62 6b-14 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libpam0g 1.0.1-9 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpng12-0 1.2.37-1 PNG library - runtime ii libstdc++6 4.4.0-5 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 2:1.2.1-1 X11 client-side library ii libxft2 2.1.13-3 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxmu6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 miscellaneous utility library Versions of packages slim recommends: ii gnome-terminal [x-terminal-em 2.26.2-2 The GNOME terminal emulator applic Versions of packages slim suggests: pn scrot <none> (no description available) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
