NASL family Gentoo Local Security Checks NASL id GENTOO_GLSA-200410-19.NASL description The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200410-19 (glibc: Insecure tempfile handling in catchsegv script) The catchsegv script creates temporary files in world-writeable directories with predictable names. Impact : A local attacker could create symbolic links in the temporary files directory, pointing to a valid file somewhere on the filesystem. When catchsegv script is called, this would result in the file being overwritten with the rights of the user running the utility, which could be the root user.

NASL family Red Hat Local Security Checks NASL id REDHAT-RHSA-2005-261.NASL description Updated glibc packages that address several bugs are now available. This update has been rated as having low security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. The GNU libc packages (known as glibc) contain the standard C libraries used by applications. Flaws in the catchsegv and glibcbug scripts were discovered. A local user could utilize these flaws to overwrite files via a symlink attack on temporary files. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2004-0968 and CVE-2004-1382 to these issues. It was discovered that the use of LD_DEBUG and LD_SHOW_AUXV were not restricted for a setuid program. A local user could utilize this flaw to gain information, such as the list of symbols used by the program. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2004-1453 to this issue. This erratum also addresses the following bugs in the GNU C Library: - Now avoids calling sigaction (SIGPIPE, ...) in syslog implementation - Fixed poll on Itanium - Now allows setenv/putenv in shared library constructors Users of glibc are advised to upgrade to these erratum packages that remove the unnecessary glibcbug script and contain backported patches to correct these other issues. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 18160 published 2005-04-29 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2005-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/18160 title RHEL 2.1 : glibc (RHSA-2005:261) code #%NASL_MIN_LEVEL 80502 # # (C) Tenable Network Security, Inc. # # The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were # extracted from Red Hat Security Advisory RHSA-2005:261.
