Summary:	Debian Security Advisory DSA 704-1 (remstats)
Description:	The remote host is missing an update to remstats announced via advisory DSA 704-1. Jens Steube discovered several vulnerabilities in remstats, the remote statistics system. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project identifies the following problems: CVE-2005-0387 When processing uptime data on the unix-server a temporary file is opened in an insecure fashion which could be used for a symlink attack to create or overwrite arbitrary files with the permissions of the remstats user. CVE-2005-0388 The remoteping service can be exploited to execute arbitrary commands due to missing input sanitising. For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 1.00a4-8woody1. For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 1.0.13a-5. We recommend that you upgrade your remstats packages. Solution: http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=DSA%20704-1
