- Zenith Parsec discovered a security hole in Taylor UUCP 1.06.1. It
- permits a local user to copy any file to anywhere which is writable by
- the uucp uid, which effectively means that a local user can completely
- subvert the UUCP subsystem, including stealing mail, etc.
- If a remote user with UUCP access is able to create files on the local
- system, and can successfully make certain guesses about the local
- directory structure layout, then the remote user can also subvert the
- UUCP system. A default installation of UUCP will permit a remote user
- to create files on the local system if the UUCP public directory has
- been created with world write permissions.
- Obviously this security hole is serious for anybody who uses UUCP on a
- multi-user system with untrusted users, or anybody who uses UUCP and
- permits connections from untrusted remote systems.
- It was thought that this problem has been fixed with DSA 079-1, but
- that didn\'t fix all variations of the problem. The problem is fixed
- in version 1.06.1-11potato2 of uucp which uses a patch from the
- upstream author Ian Lance Taylor.
- We recommend that you upgrade your uucp package immediately.
