Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.705213
Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-5213-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'schroot' package(s) announced via the DSA-5213-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'schroot' package(s) announced via the DSA-5213-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Julian Gilbey discovered that schroot, a tool allowing users to execute commands in a chroot environment, had too permissive rules on chroot or session names, allowing a denial of service on the schroot service for all users that may start a schroot session.

Note that existing chroots and sessions are checked during upgrade, and an upgrade is aborted if any future invalid name is detected.

Problematic session and chroots can be checked before upgrading with the following command:

schroot --list --all LC_ALL=C grep -vE '^[a-z]+:[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9_.-]*$'

See for instructions on how to resolve such a situation.

For the stable distribution (bullseye), this problem has been fixed in version 1.6.10-12+deb11u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your schroot packages.

For the detailed security status of schroot please refer to its security tracker page at: [link moved to references]

Affected Software/OS:
'schroot' package(s) on Debian 11.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
