Immunix OS Security Advisory
Packages updated: ispell
Affected products: Immunix OS 6.2
Bugs fixed: immunix/1616
Date: Thu Jun 21 2001
Advisory ID: IMNX-2001-62-004-01
Author: Seth Arnold <sarnold@wirex.com>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Description:
Jarno Huuskonen has found an unsafe use of mktemp(3) in ispell that
would make ispell vulnerable to symlink attacks. This patch, from
OpenBSD, fixes this problem as well as changing some uses of gets(3)
to fgets(3), fixing possible buffer overflows.
The symlink attacks would grant an attacker the ability to overwrite
files owned by the user executing ispell.
StackGuard would prevent any buffer overflow attacks from executing
code, though ispell would be killed in the event of such an attack.
