Package: feh Version: 1.3.4.dfsg.1-1 Severity: grave Tags: security Justification: user security hole
Hello, there exists an (IMHO rather unlikely, but still possible) arbitrary code execution hole in feh. All versions <= 1.7 down to at least the 1.3.4 in stable (I didn't check earlier ones) are affected. See <http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2010/q2/332>. In case the security team wants to patch the stable feh package, the following diff resolves the issue by removing the --wget-timestamp option, which is probably broken anyway: <https://derf.homelinux.org/git/feh/patch/?id=ae56ce24b10767800b1715e7e68b41c7d3571b4c>. --derf -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
