| EnGarde Secure Linux Security Advisory               November 22, 2002 |

|                                                                        |
| Package: kernel                                                        |
| Summary: local vulnerabilities.                                        |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+

  EnGarde Secure Linux is a secure distribution of Linux that features
  improved access control, host and network intrusion detection, Web
  based secure remote management, e-commerce, and integrated open source
  security tools.

OVERVIEW
- --------
  Solar Designer kindly pointed out to us that our last kernel update
  (ESA-20021022-026) was incomplete because 2.2.22-rc1 did not contain
  all the critical security fixes.  This update backports the remaining
  fixes.

  This update also fixes a denial of service attack where a local user
  could lock the machine.

  All users are recommended to upgrade immediately using the special
  SOLUTION in this advisory.

SOLUTION
- --------
  Users of the EnGarde Professional edition can use the Guardian Digital
  Secure Network to update their systems automatically.

  EnGarde Community users should upgrade to the most recent version
  as outlined in this advisory.  Updates may be obtained from:

    ftp://ftp.engardelinux.org/pub/engarde/stable/updates/
    http://ftp.engardelinux.org/pub/engarde/stable/updates/

  Please read and understand this entire section before you attempt to
  upgrade the kernel.

  Initial Steps
  -------------
    1) Verify the machine is either:

       a) booted into a "standard" kernel; or
       b) LIDS is disabled (/sbin/lidsadm -S -- -LIDS_GLOBAL)

    2) Determine which kernels you currently have installed:

         # rpm -qa --qf "%{NAME}n" | grep kernel

    3) Download the new kernels that match what you have installed
       (based on step 2) from the "UPDATED PACKAGES" section of this
       advisory.

  Installation Steps
  ------------------
    4) Install the new packages.  The packages will automagically
       update /etc/lilo.conf by commenting out any old EnGarde images
       and replacing them with the new ones:

         # rpm --replacefiles -i <kernel 1> <kernel 2> ...

    5) Re-run LILO.  If you see any errors then open /etc/lilo.conf in
       your favorite text editor and make the appropriate changes:

         #  /sbin/lilo

  Final Steps
  -----------
    6) If you did not see any LILO errors then your new kernel is now
       installed and your machine is ready to be rebooted:

         # reboot

UPDATED PACKAGES
- ----------------
  These updated packages are for EnGarde Secure Linux Community
  Edition.

+------------------------------------------------------------------------+

  EnGarde Secure Linux is a secure distribution of Linux that features
  improved access control, host and network intrusion detection, Web
  based secure remote management, e-commerce, and integrated open source
  security tools.

OVERVIEW
- --------
  This update upgrades PHP in EnGarde 1.0.1, 1.1, and 1.2 to version
  4.2.3.

  This update also fixes a recent vulnerability where a script could
  bypass safe mode restrictions.

SOLUTION
- --------
  Users of the EnGarde Professional edition can use the Guardian Digital
  Secure Network to update their systems automatically.

  EnGarde Community users should upgrade to the most recent version
  as outlined in this advisory.  Updates may be obtained from:

    ftp://ftp.engardelinux.org/pub/engarde/stable/updates/
    http://ftp.engardelinux.org/pub/engarde/stable/updates/

  Before upgrading the package, the machine must either:

    a) be booted into a "standard" kernel; or
    b) have LIDS disabled.

  To disable LIDS, execute the command:

    # /sbin/lidsadm -S -- -LIDS_GLOBAL

  To install the updated package, execute the command:

    # rpm -Uvh files

  You must now update the LIDS configuration by executing the command:

    # /usr/sbin/config_lids.pl

  To re-enable LIDS (if it was disabled), execute the command:

    # /sbin/lidsadm -S -- +LIDS_GLOBAL

  To verify the signatures of the updated packages, execute the command:

    # rpm -Kv files

UPDATED PACKAGES
- ----------------
  These updated packages are for EnGarde Secure Linux Community
  Edition.
