monotone before 0.48.1, when configured to allow remote commands,
allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via an
empty argument to the mtn command.


Fedora 13 and later have monotone 0.48.1, however Fedora 12 currently provides 0.45 and EPEL5 provides 0.42, so both of those versions require updates.

Comment 1 Vincent Danen 2010-10-27 20:27:47 UTC
Created monotone tracking bugs for this issue

Affects: fedora-12 [bug 647303]

Comment 2 Thomas Moschny 2010-10-27 23:38:17 UTC
Affected are F-13, F-14, Rawhide and EPEL-6, all currently on 0.48. Working on those now.

Neither F-12 nor EPEL-5 are affected, as the 'remote' and 'remote_stdio' commands have been introduced in 0.46 (see http://www.monotone.ca/NEWS), so the bug only affects 0.46-0.48.

Comment 3 Thomas Moschny 2010-10-28 00:35:49 UTC
Updated packages in Rawhide and EPEL-6, submitted updates for F-13 and F14.

Comment 4 Vincent Danen 2010-10-28 03:55:08 UTC
Sorry, I read my output wrong and thought F13+ were at 0.48.1 already (but they were at 0.48-1 instead).  Thanks for catching that and submitting the appropriate updates.

Comment 5 Thomas Moschny 2010-12-03 17:19:24 UTC
Meanwhile, F13 and F14 updates have hit updates-stable, closing.
