paul Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Two vulnerabilities in heartbeat prior to 2.0.6 was discovered by Yan Rong Ge. The first is that heartbeat would set insecure permissions in an shmget call for shared memory, allowing a local attacker to cause an unspecified denial of service via unknown vectors (CVE-2006-3815). The second is a remote vulnerability that could allow allow the master control process to read invalid memory due to a specially crafted heartbeat message and die of a SEGV, all prior to any authentication (CVE-2006-3121). Updated packages have been patched to correct these issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
