Re: Format String Vulnerability in Tripwire
In-Reply-To: <20040602234116.9A3674A5B@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Just a quick note that Tripwire confirms this vulnerability exists in our
currently shipping commercial versions of Tripwire for Servers as well as the
Open Source release on Sourceforge.
We have patched our commercial code base and the fix will be in the next
version of TFS in early Q3 (August timeframe).
I will endeavor to patch the sourceforge code base as soon as possible. In the
meantime, it is strongly recommended that you apply Paul's patch and rebuild
from source.
A big thanks to Paul for bringing this to our (and the communities) attention.
