Subject: [SECURITY] [DSA-039-1] glibc local file overwrite
problems
Debian Security Advisory DSA-039-1 [email protected] http://www.debian.org/security/ Wichert Akkerman March 8, 2001
Package : glibc Problem type : local file overwrite Debian-specific: no
The version of GNU libc that was distributed with Debian GNU/Linux
2.2 suffered from 2 security problems:
* It was possible to use LD_PRELOAD to load libraries that are
listed in /etc/ld.so.cache, even for suid programs. This could be
used to create (and overwrite) files which a user should not be
allowed to.
* by using LD_PROFILE suid programs would write data to a file
to /var/tmp, which was not done safely. Again, this could be used
to create (and overwrite) files which a user should not have access
to.
Both problems have been fixed in version 2.1.3-17 and we
recommend that you upgrade your glibc packages immediately.
Please note that a side-effect of this upgrade is that ldd will
no longer work on suid programs, unless you logged in as root.
wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.
Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 alias potato
Potato was released for alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc and
sparc.
