=====
Three Debian Security Advisories:
1. DSA 679-1 - toolchain-source
2. DSA 680-1 - htdig
3. DSA 681-1 - synaesthesia
Detail
======
1. Sean Finney discovered several insecure temporary file uses in toolchain-source,
the GNU binutils and GCC source code and scripts. These bugs can lead a local
attacker with minimal knowledge to trick the admin into overwriting arbitrary
files via a symlink attack. The problems exist inside the Debian-specific
tpkg-* scripts.
2. Michael Krax discovered a cross site scripting vulnerability in ht://dig,
a web search system for an intranet or small internet.
3. Erik Sjölund and Devin Carraway discovered that synaesthesia, a program for
representing sounds visually, accesses user-controlled configuration and mixer
files with elevated privileges. Thus, it is possible to read arbitrary files.

Package : toolchain-source
Vulnerability : insecure temporary files
Problem-Type : local
Debian-specific: yes
CVE ID : CAN-2005-0159
Sean Finney discovered several insecure temporary file uses in toolchain-source,
the GNU binutils and GCC source code and scripts. These bugs can lead a local
attacker with minimal knowledge to trick the admin into overwriting arbitrary
files via a symlink attack. The problems exist inside the Debian-specific
tpkg-* scripts.
For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version
3.0.4-1woody1.
For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version
3.4-5.
We recommend that you upgrade your toolchain-source package.
Upgrade Instructions
- - --------------------

will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.
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.

Package : synaesthesia
Vulnerability : privilege escalation
Problem-Type : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CAN-2005-0070
Erik Sjölund and Devin Carraway discovered that synaesthesia, a program for
representing sounds visually, accesses user-controlled configuration and mixer
files with elevated privileges. Thus, it is possible to read arbitrary files.
For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version
2.1-2.1woody3.
For the testing (sarge) and unstable (sid) distribution this problem does
not exist since synaesthesia is not installed setuid root anymore.
We recommend that you upgrade your synaesthesia package.
