Subject: unalz: buffer overflow when extracting archives
Package: unalz
Version: 0.52-1
Severity: grave
Justification: user security hole
Tags: security patch sarge etch sid

Hello,

I have found a buffer overflow security vulnerability in unalz. It
occurs when it extracts malicious ALZ archives.

I have attached the archives oflow333.alz (for sarge) and oflow1621.alz
(for testing and unstable), as well as the program alzgen.pl that
generated them and a patch that corrects this issue.

It is also possible to upgrade to the latest upstream version 0.53,
which also corrects it.

This was fixed in a QA upload a while ago (0.55-1), since upstream 0.53 fixed
it; the changelog missed it, though. I've verified that the code does indeed
contain the patch given in the patch log, so I'm marking it as closed.

Bug#280485: Licence question for DocBook: The Definitive Guide

2006-06-17 Thread Paul Wise
Hi,

The Debian package of DocBook: The Definitive Guide is currently
orphaned and unmaintained. I'm considering maintaining it as I need to
consult it from time-to-time. While investigating the package I noticed
this release-critical bug against it:

http://bugs.debian.org/280485

This relates to the licencing of TDG and is an issue because a recent
general resolution of the Debian project ruled that works licenced under
the GFDL are free according to the standards of freedom Debian has set
for itself, provided they do not contain unmodifiable sections. We would
prefer to distribute TDG in the "free" section of the archive if
possible. The problem with unmodifiable sections is that they are
against the idea of free software (and free documentation) - that you
have the freedom to make any changes necessary or wanted and share them
with the world.

http://www.debian.org/vote/2006/vote_001#outcome

Would it be possible for Norman Walsh and O'Reilly & Associates, Inc. to
grant permission for "DocBook: The Definitive Guide" to be distributed
without the back cover text? The reason is that back cover texts are
unmodifiable and irremovable. A statement from both copyright holders
giving permission to distribute TDG under the GFDL with no invariant
sections, front cover texts or back cover texts should be sufficient.
Alternatively, removing the text "; with the Back-Cover Texts being Back
Cover Text" from the licence text of the upcoming release would suffice.

http://docbook.org/tdg/en/html/dbcpyright.html

Thanks in advance for any assistance or clarifications you may be able
to offer.

Bug#374242: electric: lesstif1 is deprecated, transition to lesstif2

2006-06-17 Thread hendry
Package: electric

Severity: normal

Good day,

Your package electric has been detected as depending on the
deprecated lesstif1.

This bug is part of a mass bug filling and the remedy is usually
quite simple. Build-depending instead on 'lesstif2-dev'.

I'll happily help if you have any problems. I plan to NMU the package
if needs be to push things along.

Background:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2006/06/msg00719.html

Best wishes,

Starting debian_revision e.g. gives to a NMU of a new upstream version
a higher version number than to the first maintainer upload of this
upstream version.
