    descriptionMultiple vulnerabilities was discovered and fixed in glibc : Multiple integer overflows in the strfmon implementation in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.10.1 and earlier allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption or application crash) via a crafted format string, as demonstrated by a crafted first argument to the money_format function in PHP, a related issue to CVE-2008-1391 (CVE-2009-4880). nis/nss_nis/nis-pwd.c in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.7 and Embedded GLIBC (EGLIBC) 2.10.2 adds information from the passwd.adjunct.byname map to entries in the passwd map, which allows remote attackers to obtain the encrypted passwords of NIS accounts by calling the getpwnam function (CVE-2010-0015). The encode_name macro in misc/mntent_r.c in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.11.1 and earlier, as used by ncpmount and mount.cifs, does not properly handle newline characters in mountpoint names, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (mtab corruption), or possibly modify mount options and gain privileges, via a crafted mount request (CVE-2010-0296). Integer signedness error in the elf_get_dynamic_info function in elf/dynamic-link.h in ld.so in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.0.1 through 2.11.1, when the --verify option is used, allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted ELF program with a negative value for a certain d_tag structure member in the ELF header (CVE-2010-0830). The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

    descriptionUpdated glibc packages that fix multiple security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section. The glibc packages contain the standard C libraries used by multiple programs on the system. These packages contain the standard C and the standard math libraries. Without these two libraries, a Linux system cannot function properly. An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in the way the glibc library read timezone files. If a carefully-crafted timezone file was loaded by an application linked against glibc, it could cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. (CVE-2009-5029) A flaw was found in the way the ldd utility identified dynamically linked libraries. If an attacker could trick a user into running ldd on a malicious binary, it could result in arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user running ldd. (CVE-2009-5064) An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in the way the glibc library loaded ELF (Executable and Linking Format) files. If a carefully-crafted ELF file was loaded by an application linked against glibc, it could cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. (CVE-2010-0830) It was found that the glibc addmntent() function, used by various mount helper utilities, did not handle certain errors correctly when updating the mtab (mounted file systems table) file. If such utilities had the setuid bit set, a local attacker could use this flaw to corrupt the mtab file. (CVE-2011-1089) A denial of service flaw was found in the remote procedure call (RPC) implementation in glibc. A remote attacker able to open a large number of connections to an RPC service that is using the RPC implementation from glibc, could use this flaw to make that service use an excessive amount of CPU time. (CVE-2011-4609) Red Hat would like to thank the Ubuntu Security Team for reporting CVE-2010-0830, and Dan Rosenberg for reporting CVE-2011-1089. The Ubuntu Security Team acknowledges Dan Rosenberg as the original reporter of CVE-2010-0830. Users should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve these issues.

    descriptionThis update of glibc fixes the following bugs and security issues : - The implementation of initgroups() of the nss_compat module omits all NIS groups at the second invocation within the same process, and also uses a needlessly inefficient method to determine the NIS groups. - An integer overflow that allows arbitrary code execution by running ld.so --verify could be exploited by a specially crafted binary. (CVE-2010-0830) - The addmntent() function does not escape the newline character properly, allowing the user to insert arbitrary newlines to /etc/mtab. This could be exploited to insert custom entries into /etc/mtab if addmntent() gets called by a setuid mount binary that does not perform extra input checking. (CVE-2010-0296)

  • NASL familyMandriva Local Security Checks
    NASL idMANDRIVA_MDVSA-2010-111.NASL
    descriptionMultiple vulnerabilities was discovered and fixed in glibc : Multiple integer overflows in the strfmon implementation in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.10.1 and earlier allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption or application crash) via a crafted format string, as demonstrated by a crafted first argument to the money_format function in PHP, a related issue to CVE-2008-1391 (CVE-2009-4880). Integer overflow in the __vstrfmon_l function in stdlib/strfmon_l.c in the strfmon implementation in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.10.1 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted format string, as demonstrated by the %99999999999999999999n string, a related issue to CVE-2008-1391 (CVE-2009-4881). nis/nss_nis/nis-pwd.c in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.7 and Embedded GLIBC (EGLIBC) 2.10.2 adds information from the passwd.adjunct.byname map to entries in the passwd map, which allows remote attackers to obtain the encrypted passwords of NIS accounts by calling the getpwnam function (CVE-2010-0015). The encode_name macro in misc/mntent_r.c in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.11.1 and earlier, as used by ncpmount and mount.cifs, does not properly handle newline characters in mountpoint names, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (mtab corruption), or possibly modify mount options and gain privileges, via a crafted mount request (CVE-2010-0296). Integer signedness error in the elf_get_dynamic_info function in elf/dynamic-link.h in ld.so in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.0.1 through 2.11.1, when the --verify option is used, allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted ELF program with a negative value for a certain d_tag structure member in the ELF header (CVE-2010-0830). Packages for 2008.0 and 2009.0 are provided as of the Extended Maintenance Program. Please visit this link to learn more: http://store.mandriva.com/product_info.php?cPath=149&amp;products_id=4 90 The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

(CVE-2008-1391) Also one non-security issue was fixed: - nscd in the paranoia mode would crash on the periodic restart in case one of the databases was disabled in the nscd configuration. In addition, the timezone information was updated to the level of 2010l, including the following changes : - Africa/Cairo (Egypt) and Asia/Gaza (Palestine) do not use daylight saving during the month of Ramadan in order to prevent Muslims from fasting one hour longer. http://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/egypt-ends-dst-2010 .html http://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/westbank-gaza-end-d st-2010.html - Africa/Casablanca (Marocco) has spent the period from May 2 to Aug 8 using daylight saving. Marocco adopted regular daylight saving, but the start and end dates vary every year. http://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/morocco-starts-dst- 2010.html - America/Argentina/San_Luis (Argentina region) local government did not terminate its DST period as planned and instead decided to extend its use of the UTC-3 time indefinitely. http://www.worldtimezone.com/dst_news/dst_news_argentina 08.html New zones : - America/Bahia_Banderas (Mexican state of Nayarit) has declared that it is to follow the UCT-6 time instead of UCT-7, with the aim to have the same time as the nearby city of Puerto Vallarta. http://www.worldtimezone.com/dst_news/dst_news_mexico08. html Historical changes : - Asia/Taipei information on DST usage listed 1980 as one year using DST, which should read 1979 instead according to government resources. - Europe/Helsinki, before switching to Central European standard DST in 1983, trialled DST for two years. However, the database omitted to specify that in these trials of 1981 and 1982, switches have been made one hour earlier than in 1983. Spelling changes in Micronesia: - Pacific/Truk has been renamed to Pacific/Chuuk in 1989. - Pacific/Ponape has been renamed to Pacific/Pohnpei in 1984.

    descriptionFrom Red Hat Security Advisory 2012:0125 : Updated glibc packages that fix multiple security issues and one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section. The glibc packages contain the standard C libraries used by multiple programs on the system. These packages contain the standard C and the standard math libraries. Without these two libraries, a Linux system cannot function properly. An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in the way the glibc library read timezone files. If a carefully-crafted timezone file was loaded by an application linked against glibc, it could cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. (CVE-2009-5029) A flaw was found in the way the ldd utility identified dynamically linked libraries. If an attacker could trick a user into running ldd on a malicious binary, it could result in arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user running ldd. (CVE-2009-5064) It was discovered that the glibc addmntent() function, used by various mount helper utilities, did not sanitize its input properly. A local attacker could possibly use this flaw to inject malformed lines into the mtab (mounted file systems table) file via certain setuid mount helpers, if the attacker were allowed to mount to an arbitrary directory under their control. (CVE-2010-0296) An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in the way the glibc library loaded ELF (Executable and Linking Format) files. If a carefully-crafted ELF file was loaded by an application linked against glibc, it could cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. (CVE-2010-0830) It was discovered that the glibc fnmatch() function did not properly restrict the use of alloca(). If the function was called on sufficiently large inputs, it could cause an application using fnmatch() to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the application. (CVE-2011-1071) It was found that the glibc addmntent() function, used by various mount helper utilities, did not handle certain errors correctly when updating the mtab (mounted file systems table) file. If such utilities had the setuid bit set, a local attacker could use this flaw to corrupt the mtab file. (CVE-2011-1089) It was discovered that the locale command did not produce properly escaped output as required by the POSIX specification. If an attacker were able to set the locale environment variables in the environment of a script that performed shell evaluation on the output of the locale command, and that script were run with different privileges than the attacker

    descriptionThis update of glibc fixes various bugs and security issues : CVE-2010-3847: Decoding of the $ORIGIN special value in various LD_ environment variables allowed local attackers to execute code in context of e.g. setuid root programs, elevating privileges. This issue does not affect SUSE as an assertion triggers before the respective code is executed. The bug was fixed nevertheless. CVE-2010-3856: The LD_AUDIT environment was not pruned during setuid root execution and could load shared libraries from standard system library paths. This could be used by local attackers to inject code into setuid root programs and so elevated privileges.
