Red Hat Enterprise Linux: RHSA-2014:0044-01 Moderate Risk for Augeas Users

Updated augeas 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: augeas security update Advisory ID: RHSA-2014:0044-01 Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advisory URL: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2014:0044.html Issue date: 2014-01-20 CVE Names: CVE-2013-6412 ==================================================================== 1. Summary: Updated augeas 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 (v. 6) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop Optional (v. 6) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux HPC Node (v. 6) - x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux HPC Node Optional (v. 6) - x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 6) - i386, ppc64, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Optional (v. 6) - i386, ppc64, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 6) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation Optional (v. 6) - i386, x86_64 3. Description: Augeas is a utility for editing configuration. Augeas parses configuration files in their native formats and transforms them into a tree. Configuration changes are made by manipulating this tree and saving it back into native configuration files. Augeas also uses "lenses" as basic building blocks for establishing the mapping from files into the Augeas tree and back. A flaw was found in the way Augeas handled certain umask settings when creating new configuration files. This flawcould result in configuration files being created as world writable, allowing unprivileged local users to modify their content. (CVE-2013-6412) This issue was discovered by the Red Hat Security Response Team. All augeas users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. All running applications using augeas must be restarted for the update to take effect. 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.

Background ========= OpenOffice.org is an office productivity suite, including word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, drawings, data charting, formula editing, and file conversion facilities. Affected packages ================ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 app-office/openoffice == 1.1.2 < 1.1.2 > = 1.1.3 2 app-office/openoffice-bin == 1.1.2 < 1.1.2 > = 1.1.3 3 app-office/openoffice-ximian == 1.1.60 < 1.1.60 == 1.1.61 > = 1.3.4 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 3 affected packages on all of their supported architectures. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Description ========== Onstart-up, OpenOffice.org 1.1.2 creates a temporary directory with insecure permissions. When a document is saved, a compressed copy of it can be found in that directory. Impact ===== A malicious local user could obtain the temporary files and thus read documents belonging to other users. Workaround ========= There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========= All affected OpenOffice.org users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge sync # emerge -pv "> =app-office/openoffice-1.1.3" # emerge "> =app-office/openoffice-1.1.3" All affected OpenOffice.org binary users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge sync # emerge -pv "> =app-office/openoffice-bin-1.1.3" # emerge "> =app-office/openoffice-bin-1.1.3" All affected OpenOffice.org Ximian users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge sync # emerge -pv "> =app-office/openoffice-ximian-1.3.4" # emerge "> =app-office/openoffice-1.3.4" References ========= [ 1 ] CAN-2004-0752 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CAN-2004-0752 [ 2 ] OpenOffice.org Issue 33357 https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi Availability =========== This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/200410-17 Concerns? ======== Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
