gPS is a graphical application to watch system processes. In release 1.1.0 of the gps package, several security vulnerabilities were fixed, as detailed in the changelog :

  • bug fix on rgpsp connection source acceptation policy (it was allowing any host to connect even when the /etc/rgpsp.conf file told otherwise). It is working now, but on any real (‘production’) network I suggest you use IP filtering to enforce the policy (like ipchains or iptables).

  • Several possibilities of buffer overflows have been fixed. Thanks to Stanislav Ievlev from ALT-Linux for pointing a lot of them.

  • fixed misformatting of command line parameters in rgpsp protocol (command lines with newlines would break the protocol).

  • fixed buffer overflow bug that caused rgpsp to SIGSEGV when stating processes with large command lines (>128 chars) [Linux only].

All of these problems affect Debian’s gps package version 0.9.4-1 in Debian woody. Debian potato also contains a gps package (version 0.4.1-2), but it is not affected by these problems, as the relevant functionality is not implemented in that version.
