Debian DSA-762-1 : affix - several vulnerabilities

critical Nessus Plugin ID 19225

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Kevin Finisterre discovered two problems in the Bluetooth FTP client from affix, user space utilities for the Affix Bluetooth protocol stack. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following vulnerabilities :

- CAN-2005-2250 A buffer overflow allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long filename in an OBEX file share.

- CAN-2005-2277

Missing input sanitising before executing shell commands allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands as root.

Solution

Upgrade the affix package.

The old stable distribution (woody) is not affected by these problems.

For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 2.1.1-2.
