Hi,
a security hole has been found in the auxiliary fax scripts "faxq" and
"faxrunq" in the mgetty+sendfax package. It has been in there since
the first day those scripts were written.
Due to improper quoting in these shell scripts, it's possible to execute
code with a foreign user id, and get root access to the machine. The
exploit is actually quite trivial, so it's not necessary to include that
here.
Appended below, you'll find replacement scripts that fix the problems. The
scripts can be used "as is" with mgetty+sendfax 1.0.* and 1.1.*, and I'm
fairly sure that they will work with all older versions as well.
This weekend, I will release new versions of mgetty+sendfax (1.1.8 for
the development cycle, 1.0.1 as "stable release"), which will have the
changes worked in.
Credits for finding the problem go to Herbert Thielen
(thielen@lpr.e-technik.tu-muenchen.de). Thanks again.
