-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- ______________________________________________________________________________ SuSE Security Announcement Package: util < 2.10f Date: Thu Feb 10 20:03:43 CET 2000 Affected SuSE versions: all Vulnerability Type: (unlikely) local root compromise SuSE default package: yes Other affected systems: all linux systems using util < 2.10f ______________________________________________________________________________ A security hole was discovered in the package mentioned above. Please update it as soon as possible or disable the service if you are using this software on your SuSE Linux installation(s). Other Linux distributions or operating systems might be affected as well, please contact your vendor for information about this issue. Please note that we provide this information on an "as-is" basis only. There is no warranty whatsoever and no liability for any direct, indirect or incidental damage arising from this information or the installation of the update package. _____________________________________________________________________________ 1. Problem Description The mount/umount command doesn't do proper bounds checking on user input. 2. Impact If an attacker executes mount/umount with a long relative pathname, it will overwrite dynamic allocated memory of the realpath function. It is possible that an attacker could gain root privileges by modifying the heap data, however we were not able to exploit it. 3. Solution Update the package from our FTP server or remove the suid bits. ______________________________________________________________________________ Please verify these md5 checksums of the updates before installing: (For SuSE 6.0, please use the 6.1 updates) 8fffa6e7ce36b51f190652189629a2c0 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/update/6.1/a1/util-2.10f-4.alpha.rpm 121bf103d58cc9e959f910a0437285bd ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/update/6.3/a1/util-2.10f-0.alpha.rpm 96166ddbe17ef1aabf6531a34e48d386 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.1/a1/util-2.10f-3.i386.rpm 285c0d41b2932b068fdac3f860e3446e ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.2/a1/util-2.10f-4.i386.rpm 452143c94bcae39ec9adc5922be9acc9 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.3/a1/util-2.10f-4.i386.rpm ______________________________________________________________________________ You can find updates on our ftp-Server: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update for Intel processors ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/update for Alpha processors or try the following web pages for a list of mirrors: http://www.suse.de/ftp.html http://www.suse.com/ftp_new.html Our webpage for patches: http://www.suse.de/patches/index.html Our webpage for security announcements: http://www.suse.de/security If you want to report vulnerabilities, please contact security@suse.de ______________________________________________________________________________ SuSE has got two free security mailing list services to which any interested party may subscribe: suse-security@suse.com - moderated and for general/linux/SuSE security discussions.
