COMMAND
TclPro Debugger
SYSTEMS AFFECTED
TclPro Debugger beta release 1 & 2
PROBLEM
The 1.0 beta 1 & 1.0 beta 2 releases of the TclPro Debugger
contain a security hole. A bug in those releases makes the
debugger vulnerable to malicious attacks on the port the debugger
listens on for connections with Tcl applications. This was
reported by Ray Johnson.
SOLUTION
It is suggested that if you are currently using either TclPro
Debugger beta 1 or beta 2 that you stop using it and download the
beta 3 version of TclPro Debugger. The beta 3 release contains no
known security related bugs. As with any beta software, we
recommend that you never run the debugger as root or on machines
that are critical to your environment.
