Title : Debian Security Update Fixes Backup Manager Vulnerabilities
VUPEN ID : VUPEN/ADV-2005-1543
CVE ID : CVE-2005-1855 - CVE-2005-1856
CWE ID : CWE-
Rated as : Low Risk

Debian has released updated packages to correct two vulnerabilities identified in Backup Manager. The first problem is that backup files are created with default permissions making them world readable, which could be exploited by local attackers to obtain sensitive information. The second flaw is due to an error in the CD-burning feature of backup-manager that uses a hardcoded filename in a world-writable directory for logging, which could be exploited to conduct symlink attacks.

Debian GNU/Linux unstable (sid)
Solution
Debian GNU/Linux stable (sarge) - Upgrade to version 0.5.7-1sarge1
