Debian DSA-1754-1 : roundup - insufficient access checks

medium Nessus Plugin ID 36134

Synopsis

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

Description

It was discovered that roundup, an issue tracker with a command-line, web and email interface, allows users to edit resources in unauthorized ways, including granting themselves admin rights.

This update introduces stricter access checks, actually enforcing the configured permissions and roles. This means that the configuration may need updating. In addition, user registration via the web interface has been disabled; use the program 'roundup-admin' from the command line instead.

Solution

Upgrade the roundup package.

For the old stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 1.2.1-10+etch1.

For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 1.4.4-4+lenny1.
