Package: collectd
Version: 4.4.2-3
Severity: important
Tags: patch, security, upstream, fixed-upstream

When creating a new RRD file, the RRDtool and RRDCacheD plugins
assert(3) that the timestamp included with a value is greater than 10
(i.e. after January 1st, 1970, 00:00:10 UTC). However, this condition is
not actually checked anywhere, making it possible for this assertion to
fail.

In the common scenario that data is received via the Network plugin and
written to disk via the RRDtool or RRDCacheD plugin, it is easily
possible to trigger this problem by sending a specifically crafted
Network packet. If the Network plugin is configured with the "Sign" or
"Encrypt" "security levels", an attacker needs to know the pre-shared
key to trigger the problem. Other plugins, for example the UnixSock and
Exec plugins, can be used to trigger the problem as well. However,
access to these mechanisms is usually not available to the general
public.

The existence of this problem has only been verified in version
4.10.1-1+squeeze1~bpo50+1 of the package, but the offending code first
appeared in version 4.0.8 of collectd (commit 9d52ed5f). It is therefore
safe to assume that all versions since 4.0.8 are vulnerable, including
version 4.4.2-3 included in Debian Lenny.

The issue has been fixed upstream in commit 11893a7c. The fix is
included in the new upstream versions 4.9.4 and 4.10.2. Porting the fix
back to 4.10.1-1+squeeze1 should be trivial.

—octo
