Guys, has this been fixed in debian? If not, can anyone explain how to install an rpm package so I can try out rpm within debian? ;-)
---------------------------------------------- Their is a buffer overrun in /bin/login which has the potential to allow any user of your system to gain root access. util-linux-2.5-29 contains a fix for this and is available for Red Hat Linux 4.0 on all four platforms. We strongly recommend that all of Red Hat 4.0 usres apply this fix. Users of Red Hat Linux versions earlier then 4.0 should upgrade to 4.0 and then apply all available security pacakges. Users whose computers have direct internet connections may apply this update by using one of the following commands: Intel: rpm -Uvh ftp://ftp.redhat.com/updates/4.0/i386/util-linux-2.5-29.i386.rpm Alpha: rpm -Uvh ftp://ftp.redhat.com/updates/4.0/axp/util-linux-2.5-29.axp.rpm SPARC: rpm -Uvh ftp://ftp.redhat.com/updates/4.0/sparc/util-linux-2.5-29.sparc.rpm All of these packages have been signed with Red Hat's PGP key.
