Package: acon
Version: 1.0.5-5
Severity: critical
Tags: security
Justification: root security hole
The package has a setuid binary acon. The binary never drops setuid. The
source code contains the following lines: (acon.c)
char tmp[300];
...
if((env=getenv("HOME")))
sprintf(tmp,"%s/.acon.conf",env);
This can be easily exploited by a long $HOME.
