Fedora Legacy


Fedora Legacy Update Advisory

Synopsis: Updated tetex packages fix security issues
Advisory ID: FLSA:152868
Issue date: 2006-05-12
Product: Red Hat Linux, Fedora Core
Keywords: Bugfix
CVE Names: CVE-2004-0888 CVE-2004-1125 CVE-2005-3191 CVE-2005-3192
CVE-2005-3193 CVE-2005-3624 CVE-2005-3625 CVE-2005-3626
CVE-2005-3627 CVE-2005-3628



1. Topic:

Updated tetex packages that fix several security issues are now
available.

TeTeX is an implementation of TeX. TeX takes a text file and a
set of formatting commands as input and creates a
typesetter-independent .dvi (DeVice Independent) file as
output.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Linux 7.3 – i386
Red Hat Linux 9 – i386
Fedora Core 1 – i386
Fedora Core 2 – i386

3. Problem description:

A number of integer overflow bugs that affect Xpdf were
discovered. The teTeX package contains a copy of the Xpdf code used
for parsing PDF files and is therefore affected by these bugs. The
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org/) has assigned the names
CVE-2004-0888 and CVE-2004-1125 to these issues.

Several flaws were discovered in the teTeX PDF parsing library.
An attacker could construct a carefully crafted PDF file that could
cause teTeX to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code when
opened. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project assigned
the names CVE-2005-3191, CVE-2005-3192, CVE-2005-3193,
CVE-2005-3624, CVE-2005-3625, CVE-2005-3626, CVE-2005-3627 and
CVE-2005-3628 to these issues.

Users of teTeX should upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain backported patches and are not vulnerable to these
issues.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.

To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filenames]

where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade.
Only those RPMs which are currently installed will be updated.
Those RPMs which are not installed but included in the list will
not be updated. Note that you can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if
your current directory only contains the desired RPMs.

Please note that this update is also available via yum and apt.
Many people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use yum
issue:

yum update

or to use apt:

apt-get update; apt-get upgrade

This will start an interactive process that will result in the
appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system. This assumes that
you have yum or apt-get configured for obtaining Fedora Legacy
content. Please visit http://www.fedoralegacy.org/docs
for directions on how to configure yum and apt-get.

A bug was found in the way ncpfs handled file permissions. ncpfs
did not sufficiently check if the file owner matched the user
attempting to access the file, potentially violating the file
permissions. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
(cve.mitre.org/) has assigned
the name CVE-2005-0013 to this issue.

A buffer overflow was found in the ncplogin program. A remote
malicious NetWare server could execute arbitrary code on a victim’s
machine. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org/) has assigned the name
CVE-2005-0014 to this issue.

All users of ncpfs are advised to upgrade to this updated
package, which contains backported fixes for these issues.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.

To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filenames]

where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade.
Only those RPMs which are currently installed will be updated.
Those RPMs which are not installed but included in the list will
not be updated. Note that you can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if
your current directory only contains the desired RPMs.

Please note that this update is also available via yum and apt.
Many people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use yum
issue:

yum update

or to use apt:

apt-get update; apt-get upgrade

This will start an interactive process that will result in the
appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system. This assumes that
you have yum or apt-get configured for obtaining Fedora Legacy
content. Please visit http://www.fedoralegacy.org/docs
for directions on how to configure yum and apt-get.

Fedora Core 1 – i386
Fedora Core 2 – i386

3. Problem description:

A flaw was discovered in xloadimage where filenames were not
properly quoted when calling the gunzip command. An attacker could
create a file with a carefully crafted filename so that it would
execute arbitrary commands if opened by a victim. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org/) has assigned the name
CVE-2005-0638 to this issue.

A flaw was discovered in xloadimage via which an attacker can
construct a NIFF image with a very long embedded image title. This
image can cause a buffer overflow. The Common Vulnerabilities and

Fedora Legacy Update Advisory

Synopsis: Updated gnupg package fixes security issues
Advisory ID: FLSA:185355
Issue date: 2006-05-12
Product: Red Hat Linux, Fedora Core
Keywords: Bugfix
CVE Names: CVE-2006-0049 CVE-2006-0455



1. Topic:

An updated GnuPG package that fixes signature verification flaws
is now available.

GnuPG is a utility for encrypting data and creating digital
signatures.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Linux 7.3 – i386
Red Hat Linux 9 – i386
Fedora Core 1 – i386
Fedora Core 2 – i386
Fedora Core 3 – i386, x86_64

3. Problem description:

Tavis Ormandy discovered a bug in the way GnuPG verifies
cryptographically signed data with detached signatures. It is
possible for an attacker to construct a cryptographically signed
message which could appear to come from a third party. When a
victim processes a GnuPG message with a malformed detached
signature, GnuPG ignores the malformed signature, processes and
outputs the signed data, and exits with status 0, just as it would
if the signature had been valid. In this case, GnuPG’s exit status
would not indicate that no signature verification had taken place.
This issue would primarily be of concern when processing GnuPG
results via an automated script. The Common Vulnerabilities and
Exposures project assigned the name CVE-2006-0455 to this
issue.

Tavis Ormandy also discovered a bug in the way GnuPG verifies
cryptographically signed data with inline signatures. It is
possible for an attacker to inject unsigned data into a signed
message in such a way that when a victim processes the message to
recover the data, the unsigned data is output along with the signed
data, gaining the appearance of having been signed. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project assigned the name
CVE-2006-0049 to this issue.

Please note that neither of these issues affect the way RPM or
up2date verify RPM package files, nor is RPM vulnerable to either
of these issues.

All users of GnuPG are advised to upgrade to this updated
package, which contains backported patches to correct these
issues.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.

To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filenames]

where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade.
Only those RPMs which are currently installed will be updated.
Those RPMs which are not installed but included in the list will
not be updated. Note that you can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if
your current directory only contains the desired RPMs.

Please note that this update is also available via yum and apt.
Many people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use yum
issue:

yum update

or to use apt:

apt-get update; apt-get upgrade

Trustix Secure Linux


Trustix Secure Linux Security Advisory #2006-0026

Package names: kernel
Summary: Multiple vulnerabilities
Date: 2006-05-12
Affected versions: Trustix Secure Linux 3.0


Package description:
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:
kernel < TSL 3.0 >

  • New Upstream.
  • SECURITY Fix: An error in the Stream Control Transmission
    Protocol (SCTP) code that uses incorrect state table entries when
    certain ECNE chunks are received in CLOSED state, could be
    exploited by attackers to cause a kernel panic via a specially
    crafted packet.
  • An error exist when handling incoming IP-fragmented SCTP
    control chunks, which could be exploited by attackers to cause a
    kernel panic via a specially crafted packet.
  • Linux SCTP (lksctp) allows remote attackers to cause a denial
    of service (infinite recursion and crash) via a packet that
    contains two or more DATA fragments, which causes an skb pointer to
    refer back to itself when the full message is reassembled, leading
    to infinite recursion in the sctp_skb_pull function
  • Linux SCTP (lksctp) allows remote attackers to cause a denial
    of service (deadlock) via a large number of small messages to a
    receiver application that cannot process the messages quickly
    enough, which leads to “spillover of the receive buffer.”
  • A vulnerability has been identified due to an input validation
    error when processing arguments containing backslash (“”)
    characters passed to certain commands (e.g. “cd”), which could be
    exploited by authenticated attackers to escape chroot restrictions
    for a CIFS or SMBFS mounted filesystem.

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org/) has assigned the names
CVE-2006-2271, CVE-2006-2272, CVE-2006-2274, CVE-2006-2275 and
CVE-2006-1864 to these issues.
