Scientific Linux: Moderate Sudo Update CVE-2012-3440 - Symbolic Link Attack

Moderate: sudo security and bug fix update. Date: Wed, 8 Aug 2012 16:45:27 -0500 Reply-To: Connie Sieh Sender: Security Errata for Scientific Linux From: Connie Sieh Subject: Security ERRATA Moderate: sudo on SL5.x i386/x86_64 Comments: To: scientific MIME-Version: 1.0 Synopsis: Moderate: sudo security and bug fix update Issue Date: 2012-08-08 CVE Numbers: CVE-2012-3440 An insecure temporary file use flaw was found in the sudo package's post-uninstall script. A local attacker could possibly use this flaw to overwrite an arbitrary file via a symbolic link attack, or modify the contents of the "/etc/nsswitch.conf" file during the upgrade or removal of the sudo package. (CVE-2012-3440) This update also fixes the following bugs: - Previously, sudo escaped non-alphanumeric characters in commands using "sudo -s" or "sudo -" at the wrong place and interfered with the authorization process. Some valid commands were not permitted. Now, non-alphanumeric characters escape immediately before the command is executed and no longer interfere with the authorization process. (BZ#844418) - Prior to this update, the sudo utility could, under certain circumstances, fail to receive the SIGCHLD signal when it was executed from a process that blocked the SIGCHLD signal. As a consequence, sudo could become suspended and fail to exit. This update modifies the signal process mask so that sudo can exit and sends the correct output. (BZ#844419) - The sudo update RHSA-2012:0309 introduced a regression that caused the Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) context of the "/etc/nsswitch.conf" file to change during the installation or upgrade of the sudo package. This could cause various services confined by SELinux to no longer be permitted to access the file. In reported cases, this issue prevented PostgreSQL and Postfix from starting. (BZ#842759) - Updating the sudo package resulted in the "sudoers" line in "/etc/nsswitch.conf" being removed. This update corrects the bug in the sudo package's post-uninstall script that causedthis issue. (BZ#844420) - Prior to this update, a race condition bug existed in sudo. When a program was executed with sudo, the program could possibly exit successfully before sudo started waiting for it. In this situation, the program would be left in a zombie state and sudo would wait for it endlessly, expecting it to still be running.

Scientific Linux: Low Severity xorg-x11-server Security Update

Low: xorg-x11-server security and bug fix update. Date: Wed, 21 Mar 2012 16:24:51 -0500 Reply-To: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. Sender: Security Errata for Scientific Linux From: Patrick Riehecky Subject: Security ERRATA Low: xorg-x11-server on SL5.x i386/x86_64 Comments: To: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. Synopsis: Low: xorg-x11-server security and bug fix update Issue Date: 2012-02-21 CVE Numbers: CVE-2011-4028 X.Org is an open source implementation of the X Window System. It provides the basic low-level functionality that full-fledged graphical user interfaces are designed upon. A flaw was found in the way the X.Org server handled lock files. A local user with access to the system console could use this flaw to determine the existence of a file in a directory not accessible to the user, via a symbolic link attack. (CVE-2011-4028) This update also fixes the following bugs: * In rare cases, if the front and back buffer of the miDbePositionWindow() function were not both allocated in video memory, or were both allocated in system memory, the X Window System sometimes terminated unexpectedly. A patch has been provided to address this issue and X no longer crashes in the described scenario. * Previously, when the miSetShape() function called the miRegionDestroy() function with a NULL region, X terminated unexpectedly if the backing store was enabled. Now, X no longer crashes in the described scenario. * On certain workstations running in 32-bit mode, the X11 mouse cursor occasionally became stuck near the left edge of the X11 screen. A patch has been provided to address this issue and the mouse cursor no longer becomes stuck in the described scenario. * On certain workstations with a dual-head graphics adapter using the r500 driver in Zaphod mode, the mouse pointer was confined to one monitor screen and could not move to the other screen. A patch has been provided to address this issue and the mouse cursor works properly across both screens. * Due to a double free operation, Xvfb (X virtual framebuffer)terminated unexpectedly with a segmentation fault randomly when the last client disconnected, that is when the server reset. This bug has been fixed in the miDCCloseScreen() function and Xvfb no longer crashes. * Starting the Xephyr server on an AMD64 or Intel 64 architecture with an integrated graphics adapter caused the server to terminate unexpectedly. This bug has been fixed in the code and Xephyr no longer crashes in the described scenario. * Previously, when a client made a request bigger than 1/4th of the limit advertised in the BigRequestsEnable reply, the X server closed the connection unexpectedly. With this update, the maxBigRequestSize variable has been added to the code to check the size of client requests, thus fixing this bug. * When an X client running on a big-endian system called the XineramaQueryScreens() function, the X server terminated unexpectedly. This bug has been fixed in the xf86Xinerama module and the X server no longer crashes in the described scenario. * When installing Scientific Linux 5 on an IBM eServer System p blade server, the installer did not set the correct mode on the built-in KVM (Keyboard-Video-Mouse). Consequently, the graphical installer took a very long time to appear and then was displayed incorrectly. A patch has been provided to address this issue and the graphical installer now works as expected in the described scenario. Note that this fix requires the Scientific Linux 5.8 kernel update. * Lines longer than 46,340 pixels can be drawn with one of the coordinates being negative. However, for dashed lines, the miPolyBuildPoly() function overflowed the "int" type when setting up edges for a section of a dashed line. Consequently, dashed segments were not drawn at all. An upstream patch has been applied to address this issue and dashed lines are now drawn correctly. All users of xorg-x11-server are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which correct these issues. All running X.Org server instances must be restarted for this update to take effect.

Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) - i386, ia64, ppc, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64 3. Description: The vixie-cron package contains the Vixie version of cron. Cron is a standard UNIX daemon that runs specified programs at scheduled times. The vixie-cron package adds improved security and more powerful configuration options to the standard version of cron. A race condition was found in the way the crontab program performed file time stamp updates on a temporary file created when editing a user crontab file. A local attacker could use this flaw to change the modification time of arbitrary system files via a symbolic link attack. (CVE-2010-0424) Red Hat would like to thank Dan Rosenbergfor reporting this issue. This update also fixes the following bugs: * Cron jobs of users with home directories mounted on a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server or Network File System (NFS) were often refused because jobs were marked as orphaned (typically due to a temporary NSS lookup failure, when NIS and LDAP servers were unreachable). With this update, a database of orphans is created, and cron jobs are performed as expected. (BZ#455664) * Previously, cron did not log any errors if a cron job file located in the /etc/cron.d/ directory contained invalid entries. An upstream patch has been applied to address this problem and invalid entries in the cron job files now produce warning messages. (BZ#460070) * Previously, the "@reboot" crontab macro incorrectly ran jobs when the crond daemon was restarted. If the user used the macro on multiple machines, all entries with the "@reboot" option were executed every time the crond daemon was restarted. With this update, jobs are executed only when the machine is rebooted. (BZ#476972) * The crontab utility is now compiled as a position-independent executable (PIE), which enhances the security of the system. (BZ#480930) * When the parent crond daemon was stopped, but a child crond daemon was running (executing a program), the "service crond status" command incorrectly reported that crond was running. The source code has been modified, and the "service crond status" command now correctly reports that crond is stopped. (BZ#529632) * According to the pam(8) manual page, the cron daemon, crond, supports access control with PAM (Pluggable Authentication Module). However, the PAM configuration file for crond did not export environment variables correctly and, consequently, setting PAM variables via cron did not work. This update includes a corrected /etc/pam.d/crond file that exports environment variables correctly. Setting pam variables via cron now works as documented in the pam(8) manual page. (BZ#541189) * Previously, the mcstransd daemon modifiedlabels for the crond daemon. When the crond daemon attempted to use the modified label and mcstransd was not running, crond used an incorrect label. Consequently, Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) denials filled up the cron log, no jobs were executed, and crond had to be restarted. With this update, both mcstransd and crond use raw SELinux labels, which prevents the problem. (BZ#625016) * Previously, the crontab(1) and cron(8) manual pages contained multiple typographical errors. This update fixes those errors. (BZ#699620, BZ#699621) In addition, this update adds the following enhancement: * Previously, the crontab utility did not use the Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) for verification of users. As a consequence, a user could access crontab even if access had been restricted (usually by being denied in the access.conf file). With this update, crontab returns an error message that the user is not allowed to access crontab because of PAM configuration. (BZ#249512) All vixie-cron users should upgrade to this updated package, which resolves these issues and adds this enhancement. 4.
