Slackware: SSA:2003-141-06a Critical: Fix For Sysvinit Quotacheck Issue

An upgraded sysvinit package is available which fixes a problem with the use of quotacheck in /etc/rc.d/rc.M.. [slackware-security] REVISED quotacheck security fix in rc.M (SSA:2003-141-06a) NOTE: The original advisory quotes a section of the Slackware ChangeLog which had inadvertently reversed the options to quotacheck. The correct option to use is 'm'. A corrected advisory follows: An upgraded sysvinit package is available which fixes a problem with the use of quotacheck in /etc/rc.d/rc.M. The original version of rc.M calls quotacheck like this: echo "Checking filesystem quotas: /sbin/quotacheck -avugM" /sbin/quotacheck -avugM The 'M' option is wrong. This causes the filesystem to be remounted, and in the process any mount flags such as nosuid, nodev, noexec, and the like, will be reset. The correct option to use here is 'm', which does not attempt to remount the partition: echo "Checking filesystem quotas: /sbin/quotacheck -avugm" /sbin/quotacheck -avugm We recommend sites using file system quotas upgrade to this new package, or edit /etc/rc.d/rc.M accordingly. Here are the details from the Slackware 9.0 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ Tue May 20 20:13:09 PDT 2003 patches/packages/sysvinit-2.84-i386-26.tgz: Use option m, not M, for quotacheck. Otherwise, the partition might be remounted losing flags like nosuid,nodev, noexec. Thanks to Jem Berkes for pointing this out.
