Hello. The first vulnerability (CVE-2008-6538) is not present in the debian packages, since the packages include a default 'Configurator' user and instructions on how to change it on README.Debian, and the exploit requires prior knowledge of an administrator IP address that has choosed to use auto-login (disabled by default in debian).
The second vulnerability (CVE-2008-6539), is a privilege scalation issue that is present in all debian versions available at the moment and here is a patch for oldstable that can be used while a new package is released: --------------- diff -urN debian-bug-522123/page_user_settings.ptl /usr/share/destar/python/page_user_settings.ptl --- debian-bug-522123/page_user_settings.ptl 2009-04-01 18:43:20.000000000 -0500 +++ /usr/share/destar/python/page_user_settings.ptl 2009-04-01 18:43:32.000000000 -0500 @@ -60,10 +60,10 @@ form.add(StringWidget, "cfto", cfto, title=_("Forward call when timeout/unavailable to")) form.add(IntWidget, "dsec", dsec, title=_("Seconds of incoming ring time"), maxlength=3, size=3) # form.add(CheckboxWidget, "vm", vm, title=_("Use voice mailbox")) - form.add(StringWidget, "pin", phone.pin, title=_("Voicemail pin"), len=10) + form.add(StringWidget, "pin", phone.pin, title=_("Voicemail pin"), maxlength=10) try: if phone.secret: - form.add(StringWidget, "secret", phone.secret, title=_("Extension Password"), len=10) + form.add(StringWidget, "secret", phone.secret, title=_("Extension Password"), maxlength=10) except AttributeError: pass form.add(SubmitWidget, '_submit', _("Submit"), render_br=False) @@ -79,11 +79,15 @@ manager.setVar('CFBS/%s' % phone.pbx, phone.ext, form['cfbs'] or '') manager.setVar('CFTO/%s' % phone.pbx, phone.ext, form['cfto'] or '') - if form["pin"]: + if form["pin"] and not form["pin"].__contains__("Cfg"): phone.pin = form["pin"] + else: + return form.render() try: - if form["secret"]: + if form["secret"] and not form["secret"].__contains__("Cfg"): phone.secret = form["secret"] + else: + return form.render() except KeyError: pass backend.updateConfiglet(phone) --------------- -- Alejandro Rios Peña -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
