Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
______________________________________________________________________
Package name: cups
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2003:001
Date: January 9th, 2003
Affected versions: 7.2, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, 9.0
______________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
iDefense reported several security problems in CUPS that can
lead to local and remote root compromise. An integer overflow
in the HTTP interface can be used to gain remote access with
CUPS privilege. A local file race condition can be used to
gain root privilege, although the previous bug must be exploited
first. An attacker can remotely add printers to the vulnerable
system. A remote DoS can be accomplished due to negative length
in the memcpy() call. An integer overflow in image handling code
can be used to gain higher privilege. An attacker can gain local
root privilege due to a buffer overflow of the 'options' buffer.
A design problem can be exploited to gain local root access,
however this needs an added printer (which can also be done, as
per a previously noted bug). Wrong handling of zero-width images
can be abused to gain higher privilege. Finally, a file descriptor
leak and DoS due to missing checks of return values of file/socket
operations.
MandrakeSoft recommends all users upgrade these CUPS packages
immediately.

Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
______________________________________________________________________
Package name: dhcpcd
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2003:003
Date: January 9th, 2003
Affected versions: 7.2, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, 9.0,
Multi Network Firewall 8.2,
Single Network Firewall 7.2
______________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
A vulnerability was discovered by Simon Kelley in the dhcpcd DHCP
client daemon. dhcpcd has the ability to execute an external script
named dhcpcd-<interface>.exe when an IP address is assigned to that
network interface. The script sources the file
/var/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-<interface>.info which contains shell variables
and DHCP assignment information. The way quotes are handled inside
these assignments is flawed, and a malicious DHCP server can execute
arbitrary shell commands on the vulnerable DHCP client system. This
can also be exploited by an attacker able to spoof DHCP responses.
Mandrake Linux packages contain a sample /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd.exe file
and encourages all users to upgrade immediately. Please note that
when you do upgrade, you will have to restart the network for the
changes to take proper effect by issuing "service network restart"
as root.
