Quite possibly resulting in null output despite numerous serious syslog messages. By interfering with an appropriate daemon an attacker might be able to have /var/tmp filled at selective times, and thereby corrupt logcheck's output in a controlled way. The solution would be to check the return code of *all* commands that are run. -- System Information Debian Release: 3.0 Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux gremlin 2.4.19-gremlin-4 #1 Tue Aug 27 23:18:32 PDT 2002 i586 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C Versions of packages logcheck depends on: ii cron 3.0pl1-72 management of regular background p ii debconf 1.0.32 Debian configuration management sy ii exim-tls [exim] 3.35-3 Exim Mailer - with TLS (SSL) suppo ii exim-tls [mail-t 3.35-3 Exim Mailer - with TLS (SSL) suppo ii logcheck-databas 1.1.1-13.1 A database of system log rules for ii logtail 1.1.1-13.1 Returns parts of logfiles that hav ii mailx 1:8.1.2-0.20020411cvs-1 A simple mail user agent. ii sysklogd 1.4.1-10 System Logging Daemon ii sysklogd [system 1.4.1-10 System Logging Daemon -- (\___(\___(\______ --=> 8-) EHM <=-- ______/)___/)___/) \ ( | EHeM at gremlin.m5p.com PGP 8881EF59 | ) / \_ \ | _____ -O #include <stddisclaimer.h> O- _____ | / _/ \___\_|_/82 04 A1 3C C7 B1 37 2A*E3 6E 84 DA 97 4C 40 E6\_|_/___/ --------------------------------------- Received: (at 174173-close) by bugs.debian.org; 3 Jun 2004 10:08:50 +0000>From katie at ftp-master.debian.org Thu Jun 03 03:08:50 2004Return-path: <katie at ftp-master.debian.org> Received: from newraff.debian.org [208.185.25.31] (mail) by spohr.debian.org with esmtp (Exim 3.35 1 (Debian)) id 1BVp9W-0005QF-00; Thu, 03 Jun 2004 03:08:50 -0700 Received: from katie by newraff.debian.org with local (Exim 3.35 1 (Debian)) id 1BVp2x-00023o-00; Thu, 03 Jun 2004 06:02:03 -0400 From: Todd Troxell <ttroxell at debian.org> To: 174173-close at bugs.debian.org X-Katie: $Revision: 1.49 $ Subject: Bug#174173: fixed in logcheck 1.2.21 Message-Id: <E1BVp2x-00023o-00 at newraff.debian.org> Sender: Archive Administrator <katie at ftp-master.debian.org> Date: Thu, 03 Jun 2004 06:02:03 -0400 Delivered-To: 174173-close at bugs.debian.org X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.60-bugs.debian.org_2004_03_25 (1.212-2003-09-23-exp) on spohr.debian.org X-Spam-Status: No, hits=-6.0 required=4.0 tests=BAYES_00,HAS_BUG_NUMBER autolearn=no version=2.60-bugs.debian.org_2004_03_25 X-Spam-Level: Source: logcheck Source-Version: 1.2.21 We believe that the bug you reported is fixed in the latest version of logcheck, which is due to be installed in the Debian FTP archive: logcheck-database_1.2.21_all.deb to pool/main/l/logcheck/logcheck-database_1.2.21_all.deb logcheck_1.2.21.dsc to pool/main/l/logcheck/logcheck_1.2.21.dsc logcheck_1.2.21.tar.gz to pool/main/l/logcheck/logcheck_1.2.21.tar.gz logcheck_1.2.21_all.deb to pool/main/l/logcheck/logcheck_1.2.21_all.deb logtail_1.2.21_all.deb to pool/main/l/logcheck/logtail_1.2.21_all.deb A summary of the changes between this version and the previous one is attached.
