OVERVIEW - -------- There is a heap corruption vulnerability in sudo which may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands. Please note that this is the same vulnerability addressed in ESA-20020429-010. Due to an error, this bug was never fixed in later EnGarde versions. The impact of this vulnerability is minimal, as only trusted users are permitted to access the sudo binary. Guardian Digital products affected by this issue include: EnGarde Secure Community 2 EnGarde Secure Professional v1.2 EnGarde Secure Professional v1.5 It is recommended that all users apply this update as soon as possible.

OVERVIEW - -------- This kernel update fixes several bugs and vulnerabilities. A summary of the changes from the last kernel update are below. * Systems with more then one swap partition defined could OOPS when "swapoff -a" was run. * This update improves the kernel module loader vulnerability fix (CAN-2003-0127) initially fixed in ESA-20030318-009. * Using specially selected forged source addresses, a remote attacker can cause a very large number of collisions in the kernel's networking hash tables, resulting in a denial of service attack. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org/) has assigned the name CAN-2003-0244 to this issue. * The "ioperm" system call does not properly restrict privileges, potentially allowing an unprivileged local user access to the I/O ports on the system. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org/) has assigned the name CAN-2003-0246 to this issue. Guardian Digital products affected by these issues include: EnGarde Secure Community 2 EnGarde Secure Professional v1.5 It is recommended that all users apply this update as soon as possible.
