rPath Security Advisory: 2007-0169-1 Published: 2007-08-23 Products: rPath Linux 1 Rating: Major Exposure Level Classification: Local User Deterministic Unauthorized Access Updated Versions: xterm=/conary.rpath.com@rpl:devel//1/202-5.3-1 References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-2797 https://issues.rpath.com/browse/RPL-1396 Description: Previous versions of the xterm package assigned incorrect ownership and write permissions to pseudo-terminal devices, permitting local users to direct output to other users' xterm sessions. Due to xterm's extensive internal processing of escape sequences, this also permits unauthorized modification of xterm session behavior. Copyright 2007 rPath, Inc.
