Mandriva Advisories MDKSA-2006:035 : php Updated php packages fix vulnerability February 7th, 2006 A flaw in the PHP gd extension in versions prior to 4.4.1 could allow a remote attacker to bypass safe_mode and open_basedir restrictions via unknown attack vectors. The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue. The released versions of Mandriva GNU/Linux affected are: 10.1 CS3.0 MNF2.0 10.2 Full information about this advisory, including the updated packages, is available at: wwwnew.mandriva.com/security/advisories?name=MDKSA-2006:035 Other references: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-3391 Posted automatically by aru (mdksec2mub v: mdksec2mub,v 0.15 2005/11/24 16:53:12 aru Exp aru $)

Mandriva Advisories MDKSA-2006:034 : openssh Updated openssh packages fix vulnerability February 6th, 2006 A flaw was discovered in the scp local-to-local copy implementation where filenames that contain shell metacharacters or spaces are expanded twice, which could lead to the execution of arbitrary commands if a local user could be tricked into a scp'ing a specially crafted filename. The provided updates bump the OpenSSH version to the latest release version of 4.3p1.A number of differences exist, primarily dealing with PAM authentication over the version included in Corporate 3.0 and MNF2.In particular, the default sshd_config now only accepts protocol 2 connections and UsePAM is now disabled by default. On systems using alternate authentication methods (ie. LDAP) that use the PAM stack for authentication, you will need to enable UsePAM. Note that the default /etc/pam.d/sshd file has also been modified to use the pam_listfile.so module which will deny access to any users listed in /etc/ssh/denyusers (by default, this is only the root user). This is required to preserve the expected behaviour when using "PermitRootLogin without-password"; otherwise it would still be possible to obtain a login prompt and login without using keys. Mandriva Linux 10.1 and newer already have these changes in their shipped versions.There are new features in OpenSSH and users are encouraged to review the new sshd_config and ssh_config files when upgrading. The released versions of Mandriva GNU/Linux affected are: 10.1 CS3.0 MNF2.0 10.2 2006.0 Full information about this advisory, including the updated packages, is available at: wwwnew.mandriva.com/security/advisories?name=MDKSA-2006:034 Other references: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-0225 Posted automatically by aru (mdksec2mub v: mdksec2mub,v 0.15 2005/11/24 16:53:12 aru Exp aru $)

Mandriva Advisories MDKSA-2006:018 : kernel Updated kernel packages fix several vulnerabilities January 20th, 2006 A number of vulnerabilites have been corrected in the Linux kernel: A race condition in the 2.6 kernel could allow a local user to cause a DoS by triggering a core dump in one thread while another thread has a pending SIGSTOP (CVE-2005-3527). The ptrace functionality in 2.6 kernels prior to 2.6.14.2, using CLONE_THREAD, does not use the thread group ID to check whether it is attaching to itself, which could allow local users to cause a DoS (CVE-2005-3783). The auto-reap child process in 2.6 kernels prior to 2.6.15 include processes with ptrace attached, which leads to a dangling ptrace reference and allows local users to cause a crash (CVE-2005-3784). A locking problem in the POSIX timer cleanup handling on exit on kernels 2.6.10 to 2.6.14 when running on SMP systems, allows a local user to cause a deadlock involving process CPU timers (CVE-2005-3805). The IPv6 flowlabel handling code in 2.4 and 2.6 kernels prior to 2.4.32 and 2.6.14 modifes the wrong variable in certain circumstances, which allows local users to corrupt kernel memory or cause a crash by triggering a free of non-allocated memory (CVE-2005-3806). An integer overflow in 2.6.14 and earlier could allow a local user to cause a hang via 64-bit mmap calls that are not properly handled on a 32-bit system (CVE-2005-3808). As well, other bugfixes are included in this update: Fixes to swsup and HDA sound fixes (DMA buffer fixes, and fixes for the AD1986a codec, added support for Nvidia chipsets, and new model information for the Gigabyte K8N51).
