* SECURITY UPDATE: "arbitrary file access and buffer overflows" A new config file, /etc/gypsy.conf, is added that specifies a whitelist of globs. By default, they are "/dev/tty*", "/dev/pgps", and "bluetooth" (which matches Bluetooth addresses). Thanks to Michael Leibowitz <michael.leibow...@intel.com> CVE-2011-0523 * SECURITY UPDATE: Prevent buffer overflows in NMEA parsing by using snprintf() instead of sprintf. Thanks to Bastien Nocera <had...@hadess.net> CVE-2011-0524 (LP: #690323) * Run autoreconf to include changes to configure.ac -- Andreas Moog <am...@ubuntu.com> Sat, 11 Feb 2012 16:02:45 +0100 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/690323 Title: gypsy opens arbitrary files, has unchecked buffer overflows To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gypsy/+bug/690323/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
