Ubuntu 12.04 LTS / 12.10 / 13.04 : suds vulnerability (USN-2008-1)

low Nessus Plugin ID 70608

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security-related patch.

Description

Ralph Loader discovered that Suds incorrectly handled temporary files.
A local attacker could possibly use this issue to overwrite arbitrary files. In the default installation of Ubuntu, this should be prevented by the Yama link restrictions.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected python-suds package.
