Debian Security Advisory DSA-1626-1 security@debian.org

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : httrack
Vulnerability : buffer overflow
Problem type : local (remote)
Debian-specific: no
BugTraq ID : 30425

Joan Calvet discovered that httrack, a utility to create local copies of
websites, is vulnerable to a buffer overflow potentially allowing to
execute arbitrary code when passed excessively long URLs.

For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
version 3.40.4-3.1+etch1.

For the testing (lenny) and unstable distribution (sid), this problem has
been fixed in version 3.42.3-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your httrack package.

Upgrade instructions
- --------------------

wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
will install corrected packages

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
