Date Reported:

Affected Packages:

udev

Vulnerable:

Yes

Security database references:

In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2009-1185, CVE-2009-1186.

More information:

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 0.105-4etch4.

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.

Fixed in:

Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 (etch)
