Red Hat Security Advisory

Synopsis: Moderate: initscripts security update
Advisory ID: RHSA-2006:0015-01
Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2006-0015.html
Issue date: 2006-03-15
Updated on: 2006-03-15
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
CVE Names: CVE-2005-3629
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Summary:

Updated initscripts packages that fix a privilege escalation issue and
several bugs are now available.

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 AS version 3 - i386, ia64, ppc, 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:

The initscripts package contains the basic system scripts used to boot your
Red Hat system, change runlevels, and shut the system down cleanly.
Initscripts also contains the scripts that activate and deactivate most
network interfaces.

A bug was found in the way initscripts handled various environment
variables when the /sbin/service command is run. It is possible for a local
user with permissions to execute /sbin/service via sudo to execute
arbitrary commands as the 'root' user. The Common Vulnerabilities and
Exposures project assigned the name CVE-2005-3629 to this issue.

The following issues have also been fixed in this update:

* extraneous characters were logged on bootup.

* fsck would be attempted on filesystems marked with _netdev in rc.sysinit
before they were available.

Additionally, support for multi-core Itanium processors has been added to
redhat-support-check.

All users of initscripts should upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain backported patches to resolve these issues.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

up2date

This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.

5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

169403 - Automount of the emcpower device fails if fsck is enabled for the device in /etc/fstab.
171198 - Bogus messages in system log (/var/log/messages)

CVE-2005-2917 to this issue.

Several bugs have also been addressed in this update:

* An error introduced in 2.5.STABLE3-6.3E.14 where Squid can crash if a
user visits a site which has a long DNS record.

* Some authentication helpers were missing needed setuid rights.

* Squid couldn't handle a reply from a HTTP server when the reply began
with the new-line character or wasn't HTTP/1.0 or HTTP/1.1 compliant.

* User-defined error pages were not kept when the squid package was upgraded.

All users of squid should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
backported patches to 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

Red Hat Security Advisory

Synopsis: Low: vixie-cron security update
Advisory ID: RHSA-2006:0117-01
Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2006-0117.html
Issue date: 2006-03-15
Updated on: 2006-03-15
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
CVE Names: CVE-2005-1038
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Summary:

An updated vixie-cron package that fixes a bug and security issue is now
available.

This update has been rated as having low security impact by the Red Hat
Security Response Team.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 3 - i386, ia64, ppc, 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:

The vixie-cron package contains the Vixie version of cron. Cron is a
standard UNIX daemon that runs specified programs at scheduled times.

A bug was found in the way vixie-cron installs new crontab files. It is
possible for a local attacker to execute the crontab command in such a way
that they can view the contents of another user's crontab file. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project assigned the name CVE-2005-1038 to
this issue.

This update also fixes an issue where cron jobs could start before their
scheduled time.

All users of vixie-cron should upgrade to this updated package, which
contains backported patches and is not vulnerable to these issues.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

up2date

This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.

5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

154424 - [RHEL-3] cronjobs start too early
162022 - CVE-2005-1038 vixie-cron information leak
178432 - prediction: vixie-cron-4.1's pam_unix session log messages will be most unpopular

The following security bugs were fixed in this update:

- a flaw in gzip/zlib handling internal to the kernel that allowed
a local user to cause a denial of service (crash)
(CVE-2005-2458,low)

- a flaw in ext3 EA/ACL handling of attribute sharing that allowed
a local user to gain privileges (CVE-2005-2801, moderate)

- a minor info leak with the get_thread_area() syscall that allowed
a local user to view uninitialized kernel stack data
(CVE-2005-3276, low)

Note: The kernel-unsupported package contains various drivers and modules
that are unsupported and therefore might contain security problems that
have not been addressed.

Synopsis: Important: gnupg security update
Advisory ID: RHSA-2006:0266-01
Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2006-0266.html
Issue date: 2006-03-15
Updated on: 2006-03-15
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
CVE Names: CVE-2006-0049 CVE-2006-0455
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Summary:

An updated GnuPG package that fixes signature verification flaws as well as
minor bugs is now available.

This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (Advanced Server) version 2.1 - i386, ia64

3. Problem description:

GnuPG is a utility for encrypting data and creating digital signatures.

Tavis Ormandy discovered a bug in the way GnuPG verifies cryptographically
signed data with detached signatures. It is possible for an attacker to
construct a cryptographically signed message which could appear to come
from a third party. When a victim processes a GnuPG message with a
malformed detached signature, GnuPG ignores the malformed signature,
processes and outputs the signed data, and exits with status 0, just as it
would if the signature had been valid. In this case, GnuPG's exit status
would not indicate that no signature verification had taken place. This
issue would primarily be of concern when processing GnuPG results via an
automated script. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project assigned
the name CVE-2006-0455 to this issue.

Tavis Ormandy also discovered a bug in the way GnuPG verifies
cryptographically signed data with inline signatures. It is possible for an
attacker to inject unsigned data into a signed message in such a way that
when a victim processes the message to recover the data, the unsigned data
is output along with the signed data, gaining the appearance of having been
signed. This issue is mitigated in the GnuPG shipped with Red Hat
Enterprise Linux as the --ignore-crc-error option must be passed to the gpg
executable for this attack to be successful. The Common Vulnerabilities and
Exposures project assigned the name CVE-2006-0049 to this issue.

Please note that neither of these issues affect the way RPM or up2date
verify RPM package files, nor is RPM vulnerable to either of these issues.

All users of GnuPG are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
contains backported patches to correct these issues.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

up2date

This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.

5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

167392 - initial gpg run doesn't create .gnupg/secring.gpg
179506 - RHEL3, gnupg-1.2.1-10, gpg: Creates corrupt files (probably 2GB problem)
183484 - CVE-2006-0455 gpg will quietly exit when attempting to verify a malformed message
184556 - CVE-2006-0049 Gnupg incorrect malformed message verification
