Updated mysql packages that fix various temporary file security issues, as well as a number of bugs, are now available.. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Updated mysql packages fix minor security issues and bugs Advisory ID: RHSA-2004:569-01 Issue date: 2004-10-20 Updated on: 2004-10-20 Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux CVE Names: CAN-2004-0381 CAN-2004-0388 CAN-2004-0457 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Summary: Updated mysql packages that fix various temporary file security issues, as well as a number of bugs, are now available. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 3 - i386, ia64, ppc, ppc64, 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: MySQL is a multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database server. This update fixes a number of small bugs, including some potential security problems associated with careless handling of temporary files. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the names CAN-2004-0381, CAN-2004-0388, and CAN-2004-0457 to these issues. A number of additional security issues that affect mysql have been corrected in the source package. These include CAN-2004-0835, CAN-2004-0836, CAN-2004-0837, and CAN-2004-0957. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 does not ship with the mysql-server package and is therefore not affected by these issues. This update also allows 32-bit and 64-bit libraries to be installed concurrently on the same system. All users of mysql should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve these issues. 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 andupdate your packages. To launch the Red Hat 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.

Background ========= Netpbm is a toolkit containing more than 200 separate utilities for manipulation and conversion of graphic images. Affected packages ================ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 media-libs/netpbm = 10.0 Description ========== Utilities contained in the Netpbm package prior to the 9.25 version contain defects in temporary file handling. They create temporary files with predictable names without checking first that the target file doesn't already exist. Impact ===== A local attacker could create symbolic links in the temporary files directory, pointing to a valid file somewhere on the filesystem. When a user or a tool calls one of the affected utilities, this would result in file overwriting with the rights of the user running the utility. Workaround ========= There is no known workaround at thistime. Resolution ========= All Netpbm users should upgrade to an unaffected version: # emerge sync # emerge -pv "> =media-libs/netpbm-10.0" # emerge "> =media-libs/netpbm-10.0" References ========= [ 1 ] CVE-2003-0924 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2003-0924 [ 2 ] US-CERT VU#487102 http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/487102 Availability =========== This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/200410-02 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.
