CONECTIVA LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT

PACKAGE : kernel
SUMMARY : Kernel update
DATE : 2005-05-02 17:48:00
ID : CLA-2005:952
RELEVANT RELEASES : 10


DESCRIPTION
The Linux kernel is responsible for handling the basic functions of the GNU/Linux operating system.

The following security vulnerabilities are being fixed via this update:

  1. Integer overflow (CAN-2005-0736)[1]
    Georgi Guninski reported[2] an integer overflow in sys_epoll_wait in eventpoll.c which allows local users to overwrite kernel memory via a large number of events.
  2. PPP DoS (CAN-2005-0384)[3]
    Ben Martel and Stephen Blackheath have discovered a denial-of-service attack where a pppd client can cause a DoS condition on the server.
  3. ISO9660 range checking flaws (CAN-2005-0815)[4]
    Michal Zalewski reported[5] multiple "range checking flaws" in the ISO9660 filesystem handler which may allow attackers to cause a denial of service or corrupt memory via a crafted filesystem.
  4. Bluetooth vulnerability (CAN-2005-0750)[6]
    The suresec team reported[7] a vulnerability in the bluez_sock_create function in the Bluetooth stack which allows allows local users to gain privileges via a socket or socketpair call with a negative protocol value.
  5. Information leak in the ext2 filesystem (CAN-2005-0400)[8]
    The Arkoon Security Team reported[9] an information leak vulnerability in the ext2_make_empty function call. It does not properly initialize memory when creating a block for a new directory entry, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive information by reading the block.
  6. Local DoS (CAN-2005-0749)[10]
    The load_elf_library function in the Linux kernel allows local users to cause a denial of service condition via a crafted ELF library or executable, which causes a free of an invalid pointer.

The following additional fixes have also been made:

  • the NVidia driver has been updated to version 7174
  • the slmodem driver received a patch[12] to work with kernel versions 2.6.10 and higher

SOLUTION
It is recommended that all Conectiva Linux users perform the upgrade.

IMPORTANT: exercise caution and preparation when upgrading the kernel, since it will require a reboot after the new packages are installed. More detailed instructions are available in Portuguese at our Q&A page[11].

Fedora Core


Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2005-350
2005-05-02

Product : Fedora Core 3
Name : kdelibs
Version : 3.3.1
Release : 2.12.FC3
Summary : K Desktop Environment - Libraries

Description :
Libraries for the K Desktop Environment: KDE Libraries included: kdecore (KDE core library), kdeui (user interface), kfm (file manager), khtmlw (HTML widget), kio (Input/Output, networking), kspell (spelling checker), jscript (javascript), kab (addressbook), kimgio (image manipulation).


Update Information:

A buffer overflow was found in the kimgio library for KDE 3.3.1. An attacker could create a carefully crafted PCX image in such a way that it would cause kimgio to execute arbitrary code when processing the image. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org/) has assigned the name CAN-2005-1046 to this issue.

All users of kdelibs should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported security patch to correct these issues.

Name : perl
Version : 5.8.5
Release : 12.FC3
Summary : The Perl programming language.

Description :
Perl is a high-level programming language with roots in C, sed, awk and shell scripting. Perl is good at handling processes and files, and is especially good at handling text. Perl's hallmarks are practicality and efficiency. While it is used to do a lot of different things, Perl's most common applications are system administration utilities and web programming. A large proportion of the CGI scripts on the web are written in Perl. You need the perl package installed on your system so that your system can handle Perl scripts.

Install this package if you want to program in Perl or enable your system to handle Perl scripts.

Severity: Normal
Title: phpMyAdmin: Insecure SQL script installation
Date: April 30, 2005
Bugs: #88831
ID: 200504-30


Synopsis

phpMyAdmin leaves the SQL install script with insecure permissions, potentially leading to a database compromise.

Background

phpMyAdmin is a tool written in PHP intended to handle the administration of MySQL databases from a web-browser. phpMyAdmin uses a pma MySQL user to control the linked-tables infrastructure. The SQL install script sets the initial password for the pma user.

Affected packages


Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
1 dev-db/phpmyadmin < 2.6.2-r1 >= 2.6.2-r1

Description

The phpMyAdmin installation process leaves the SQL install script with insecure permissions.

Impact

A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain the initial phpMyAdmin password and from there obtain information about databases accessible by phpMyAdmin.

Workaround

Change the password for the phpMyAdmin MySQL user (pma):

    mysql -u root -p
    SET PASSWORD FOR 'pma'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('MyNewPassword');

Update your phpMyAdmin config.inc.php/:

    $cfg['Servers'][$i]['controlpass']   = 'MyNewPassword';

Resolution

All phpMyAdmin users should change password for the pma user as described above and upgrade to the latest version:

    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-db/phpmyadmin-2.6.2-r1"

Slackware Linux

[slackware-security] infozip (SSA:2005-121-01)

New infozip (zip/unzip) packages are available for Slackware 8.1, 9.0, 9.1, 10.0, 10.1, and -current to fix security issues.

  • From the www.info-zip.org site:

    Zip 2.3 and (presumably) all previous versions have a buffer- overrun vulnerability relating to deep directory paths that could potentially lead to local privilege escalation (e.g., in the case of automated, Zip-based backups). See the FAQ page for details. All versions of UnZip through 5.50 have a number of directory- traversal vulnerabilities, and version 5.50 also has a textmode data- corruption bug that affects 16-bit ports such as MS-DOS. See the FAQ page for details.

Here are the details from the Slackware 10.1 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/infozip-5.52-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to unzip552.tar.gz and zip231.tar.gz. These fix some buffer overruns if deep directory paths are packed into a Zip archive which could be a security vulnerability (for example, in a case of automated archiving or backups that use Zip). However, it also appears that these now use certain assembly instructions that might not be available on older CPUs, so if you have an older machine you may wish to take this into account before deciding whether you should upgrade. (* Security fix *)

[slackware-security] xine-lib (SSA:2005-121-02)

New xine-lib packages are available for Slackware 10.0, 10.1, and -current to fix security issues. The xine frontends have also been upgraded.

For more details on the xine-lib security issues, see: http://xinehq.de/index.php/security/XSA-2004-8

Here are the details from the Slackware 10.1 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/xine-lib-1.0.1-i686-1.tgz: Upgraded to xine-lib-1.0.1. This fixes some bugs in the MMS and Real RTSP streaming client code. While the odds of this vulnerability being usable to a remote attacker are low (but see the xine advisory), if you stream media from sites using these protocols (and you think the sites might be "hostile" and will try to hack into your xine client), then you might want to upgrade to this new version of xine-lib. Probably the other fixes and enchancements in xine-lib-1.0.1 are a better rationale to do so, though. For more details on the xine-lib security issues, see:
http://xinehq.de/index.php/security/XSA-2004-8
