Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6: Moderate Risk: Local Flaw in python-jinja2

Updated python-jinja2 packages that fix one security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having Moderate [More...]. ==================================================================== Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Moderate: python-jinja2 security update Advisory ID: RHSA-2014:0747-01 Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advisory URL: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2014:0747.html Issue date: 2014-06-11 CVE Names: CVE-2014-1402 ==================================================================== 1. Summary: Updated python-jinja2 packages that fix one security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having Moderate security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop Optional (v. 6) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux HPC Node Optional (v. 6) - x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Optional (v. 6) - i386, ppc64, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation Optional (v. 6) - i386, x86_64 3. Description: Jinja2 is a template engine written in pure Python. It provides a Django-inspired, non-XML syntax but supports inline expressions and an optional sandboxed environment. It was discovered that Jinja2 did not properly handle bytecode cache files stored in the system's temporary directory. A local attacker could use this flaw to alter the output of an application using Jinja2 and FileSystemBytecodeCache, and potentially execute arbitrary code with the privileges of that application. (CVE-2014-1402) All python-jinja2 users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. For the update to take effect, all applications usingpython-jinja2 must be restarted. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied. This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/site/articles/11258 5. Bugs fixed (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/): 1051421 - CVE-2014-1402 python-jinja2: FileSystemBytecodeCache insecure cache temporary file use 6.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5: RHSA-2009:1619-01 Moderate Dstat Local Risk

An updated dstat package that fixes one security issue is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ==================================================================== Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Moderate: dstat security update Advisory ID: RHSA-2009:1619-01 Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advisory URL: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2009:1619.html Issue date: 2009-11-30 CVE Names: CVE-2009-3894 ==================================================================== 1. Summary: An updated dstat package that fixes one security issue is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) - noarch Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client) - noarch 3. Description: Dstat is a versatile replacement for the vmstat, iostat, and netstat tools. Dstat can be used for performance tuning tests, benchmarks, and troubleshooting. Robert Buchholz of the Gentoo Security Team reported a flaw in the Python module search path used in dstat. If a local attacker could trick a local user into running dstat from a directory containing a Python script that is named like an importable module, they could execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running dstat. (CVE-2009-3894) All dstat users should upgrade to this updated package, which contains a backported patch to correct this issue. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. This update is available via Red Hat Network.

Debian 3.0: DSA 596-2 Moderate: Sudo Input Sanitization Flaw

Liam Helmer noticed that sudo, a program that provides limited super user privileges to specific users, does not clean the environment sufficiently. Bash functions and the CDPATH variable are still passed through to the program running as privileged user, leaving possibilities to overload system routines.. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA 596-2 This email address is being protected from spambots.

For completeness below is the original advisory text: Liam Helmer noticed that sudo, a program that provides limited super user privileges to specific users, does not clean the environment sufficiently. Bash functions and the CDPATH variable are still passed through to the program running as privileged user, leaving possibilities to overload system routines. These vulnerabilities can only be exploited by users who have been granted limited super user privileges. For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 1.6.6-1.3. For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 1.6.8p3. We recommend that you upgrade your sudo package.
