Trustix Secure Linux
Trustix Secure Linux Security Advisory #2006-0046
Package names: clamav, kernel
Summary: Multiple vulnerabilities
Date: 2006-08-11
Affected versions: Trustix Secure Linux 2.2 Trustix Secure Linux
3.0
Package description:
clamav
Clam AntiVirus is a GPL anti-virus toolkit for UNIX. The main
purpose of this software is the integration with mail servers
(attachment scanning). The package provides a flexible and scalable
multi-threaded daemon, a command line scanner, and a tool for
automatic updating via Internet. The programs are based on a shared
library distributed with package, which you can use with your own
software. Most importantly, the virus database is kept up to date .
kernel
The kernel package contains the Linux kernel (vmlinuz), the core of
your Trustix Secure Linux operating system. The kernel handles the
basic functions of the operating system: memory allocation, process
allocation, device input and output, etc.
Problem description:
clamav < TSL 3.0 > < TSL 2.2 >
- New Upstream.
- SECURITY Fix: Damian Put has discovered a vulnerability in
ClamAV, which is caused due to an boundary error in the
“pefromupx()” function in libclamav/upx.c when unpacking PE
executable files compressed with UPX. This can be exploited to
cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted UPX
compressed file.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project has assigned
the name CVE-2006-4018 this issue.
kernel < TSL 3.0 >
- New upstream.
- SECURITY FIX: Linux kernel 2.6.x, when using both NFS and EXT3,
allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (file system
panic) via a crafted UDP packet with a V2 lookup procedure that
specifies a bad file handle (inode number), which triggers an error
and causes an exported directory to be remounted read-only.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org/) has assigned the name
CVE-2006-3468 to this issue.
Action:
We recommend that all systems with this package installed be
upgraded. Please note that if you do not need the functionality
provided by this package, you may want to remove it from your
system.

About Trustix Secure Linux:
Trustix Secure Linux is a small Linux distribution for servers.
With focus on security and stability, the system is painlessly kept
safe and up to date from day one using swup, the automated software
updater.
