- Leon Juranic discovered a buffer overflow related to the
- getpass(3) library function in
- calife, a program which provides super user privileges to specific
- users. A local attacker could potentially
- exploit this vulnerability, given knowledge of a local user\'s password
- and the presence of at least one entry in /etc/calife.auth, to execute
- arbitrary code with root privileges.
- For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has been
- fixed in version 2.8.4c-1woody1.
- For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
- version 2.8.6-1.
- We recommend that you update your calife package.
