Red Hat: RHSA-2005:069-01 Critical: Perl DBI File Exploit

An updated perl-DBI package that fixes a temporary file flaw in DBI::ProxyServer is now available.. - --------------------------------------------------------------------- Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Updated perl-DBI package fixes security issue Advisory ID: RHSA-2005:069-01 Advisory URL: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2005:069.html Issue date: 2005-02-01 Updated on: 2005-02-01 Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux CVE Names: CAN-2005-0077 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------1. Summary: An updated perl-DBI package that fixes a temporary file flaw in DBI::ProxyServer is now available. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (Advanced Server) version 2.1 - i386, ia64 Red Hat Linux Advanced Workstation 2.1 - ia64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 2.1 - i386 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 2.1 - i386 Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 3 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Desktop version 3 - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64 3. Problem description: DBI is a database access Application Programming Interface (API) for the Perl programming language. The Debian Security Audit Project discovered that the DBI library creates a temporary PID file in an insecure manner. A local user could overwrite or create files as a different user who happens to run an application which uses DBI::ProxyServer. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-0077 to this issue. Users should update to this erratum package which disables the temporary PID file unless configured. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. Use Red Hat Network to download and update your packages. To launch the RedHat Update Agent, use the following command: up2date For information on how to install packages manually, refer to the following Web page for the System Administration or Customization guide specific to your system: https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_enterprise_linux/10/ 5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/): 145577 - CAN-2005-0077 perl-DBI insecure temporary file usage 6.

Debian: Serious Access Control Vulnerability in Ntop Exposure Risk

Using ntop to distribute network traffic through the network, it is possible to access arbitrary files on the local filesystem. Since ntop runs as root uid, guess what that means, even /etc/shadow got unsecured.. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. Debian -- Security Information Martin Schulze August 7, 2000 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package: ntop Vulnerability: remote file exploit Debian-specific: no Vulnerable: yes Using ntop to distribute network traffic through the network, i.e. running ntop as webserver, it is possible to access arbitrary files on the local filesystem. Since ntop runs as root uid, guess what that means, even /etc/shadow got unsecured. Since ntop comes with its own simple web server this problem is not a result of another webserver insecurity.
