Debian Security Advisory DSA 295-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Martin Schulze
April 30th, 2003 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : pptpd
Vulnerability : buffer overflow
Problem-Type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id : CAN-2003-0213

Timo Sirainen discovered a vulnerability in pptpd, a Point to Point
Tunneling Server, which implements PPTP-over-IPSEC and is commonly
used to create Virtual Private Networks (VPN). By specifying a small
packet length an attacker is able to overflow a buffer and execute
code under the user id that runs pptpd, probably root. An exploit for
this problem is already circulating.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.1.2-1.4.

For the old stable distribution (potato) this problem has been
fixed in version 1.0.0-4.2.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.1.4-0.b3.2.

We recommend that you upgrade your pptpd package immediately.

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.
