Package: davfs2
Version: 1.4.6-1.1
Severity: critical
Tags: patch, security, upstream
davfs2 calls function system several times. Because davfs2 is setuid
root in many cases this will allow for privilege escalation.
Appended are patches for version 1.4.6 and 1.4.7 that will fix this bug.
Note: as a consequence davfs2 will no longer try to insert required
kernel modules or create device special files /dev/fuse or /dev/codaX.
So the user has to make sure that one of these devices exists before
mounting a davfs2 file system. As far as I can see /dev/fuse is created
by default on Debian systems. davfs2 uses /dev/fuse by default (and
not /dev/codaX). So this bug fix should not cause any problem on Debian
systems.
