=========================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-566-1 January 09, 2008 openssh vulnerability CVE-2007-4752 =========================================================== A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS Ubuntu 6.10 Ubuntu 7.04 Ubuntu 7.10 This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu. The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS: openssh-client 1:4.2p1-7ubuntu3.2 Ubuntu 6.10: openssh-client 1:4.3p2-5ubuntu1.1 Ubuntu 7.04: openssh-client 1:4.3p2-8ubuntu1.1 Ubuntu 7.10: openssh-client 1:4.6p1-5ubuntu0.1 In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes. Details follow: Jan Pechanec discovered that ssh would forward trusted X11 cookies when untrusted cookie generation failed. This could lead to unintended privileges being forwarded to a remote host.

NAME
rats - Rough Auditing Tool for Security SYNOPSIS
rats [options] [file]... DESCRIPTION
rats is a rough auditing tool for security developed by Secure Software, Inc. It is a tool for scanning C, Perl, PHP, and Python source code and flagging common security related programming errors such as buffer overflows and TOCTOU (Time Of Check, Time Of Use) race condi- tions. As its name implies, the tool performs only a rough analysis of source code. It will not find every error and will also find things that are not errors. Manual inspection of your code is still necessary, but greatly aided with this tool. When started, RATS will scan each file or each file in the directory specified on the command line and produce a report when scanning is complete. What vulnerabilities are reported in the final report depend on the data contained in the vulnerability database or databases that are used and the warning level in use. For each vulnerability, the list of files and line numbers where it occured is given, followed by a brief description of the vulnerability and suggested action. OPTIONS
-h, --help Displays a brief usage summary and exit. -a <fun> Report any occurence of function 'fun' in the source file(s) -d <filename>, --database <filename>, --db <filename> Specifies a vulnerability database to be loaded. You may have multiple -d options and each database specified will be loaded. -i, --input Causes a list of function calls that were used which accept external input to be produced at the end of the vulnerability report. -l <lang>, --language <language> Force the specified language to be used regardless of filename extension. Currently valid language names are "c", "perl", "php" and "python". -r, --references Causes references to vulnerable function calls that are not being used as calls themselves to be reported. -w <level>, --warning <level> Sets the warning level. Valid levels are 1, 2 or 3. 1 includes only default and high severity. 2 includes medium severity (default). 3 includes low severity vulnerabilities. -x Causes the default vulnerability databases (which are in the installation data directory, /usr/share/rats by default) to not be loaded. -R, --no-recurssion Do not recurse subdirectories when encountered. --xml Output in XML --html Output in HTML --follow-symlinks Follow symlinks and treat them like whatever they are pointing to. If the symlink points to a directory it will be descended into unless -R is specified, if a pointing to a file, it will be treated as a file. AUTHOR
