Subject:  [Security Announce] MDKSA-2003:010-1 - Updated printer-drivers packages fix local vulnerabilities
Date:  22 Jan 2003 00:18:43 -0000

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ________________________________________________________________________ Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory ________________________________________________________________________ Package name: printer-drivers Advisory ID: MDKSA-2003:010-1 Date: January 21st, 2003 Original Advisory Date: January 21st, 2003 Affected versions: ________________________________________________________________________ Problem Description: Karol Wiesek and iDefense disovered three vulnerabilities in the printer-drivers package and tools it installs. These vulnerabilities allow a local attacker to empty or create any file on the filesystem. The first vulnerability is in the mtink binary, which has a buffer overflow in its handling of the HOME environment variable. The second vulnerability is in the escputil binary, which has a buffer overflow in the parsing of the --printer-name command line argument. This is only possible when esputil is suid or sgid; in Mandrake Linux 9.0 it was sgid "sys". Successful exploitation will provide the attacker with the privilege of the group "sys". The third vulnerability is in the ml85p binary which contains a race condition in the opening of a temporary file. By default this file is installed suid root so it can be used to gain root privilege. The only caveat is that this file is not executable by other, only by root or group "sys". Using either of the two previous vulnerabilities, an attacker can exploit one of them to obtain "sys" privilege" and then use that to exploit this vulnerability to gain root privilege. MandrakeSoft encourages all users to upgrade immediately. Aside from the security vulnerabilities, a number of bugfixes are included in this update, for Mandrake Linux 9.0 users. GIMP-Print 4.2.5pre1, HPIJS 1.3, pnm2ppa 1.12, mtink 0.9.53, and a new foomatic snapshot are included. For a list of the many bugfixes, please refer to the RPM changelog. Update: Packages are now available for 8.1/IA64 and 8.2/PPC. ________________________________________________________________________ References: http://www.idefense.com/advisory/01.21.03a.txt ________________________________________________________________________ Updated Packages: Mandrake Linux 8.1/IA64: 44b54c21acbac37b2e5d1da1b2c2b2e8 ia64/8.1/RPMS/cups-drivers-1.1-15.1mdk.ia64.rpm 8db22a16abccf307a3d731649b0102d1 ia64/8.1/RPMS/foomatic-1.1-0.20010923.1mdk.ia64.rpm 929ecd1433bb5b2a43e9ff0a66511844 ia64/8.1/RPMS/ghostscript-6.51-24.1mdk.ia64.rpm 9eb840200bf4791d0ab4f6c24a97c0b7 ia64/8.1/RPMS/ghostscript-module-X-6.51-24.1mdk.ia64.rpm 0ce228df9d29b5c83a111c70f7a5749e ia64/8.1/RPMS/gimpprint-4.1.99-16.1mdk.ia64.rpm c7e289c94341fabed4a959ababf67c50 ia64/8.1/RPMS/libgimpprint1-4.1.99-16.1mdk.ia64.rpm 2911884f58f80c1fc9256910f6f0c405 ia64/8.1/RPMS/libgimpprint1-devel-4.1.99-16.1mdk.ia64.rpm 6908e6267b212b8f9e7472d208ffa8d4 ia64/8.1/RPMS/omni-0.4-11.1mdk.ia64.rpm 044f93e42b72a54ea22ffe2860a9b9c2 ia64/8.1/RPMS/printer-filters-1.0-15.1mdk.ia64.rpm 6c07bae5bc733f6af65ba07fea404c5b ia64/8.1/RPMS/printer-testpages-1.0-15.1mdk.ia64.rpm dde725b757d560198884d8475ab3d790 ia64/8.1/RPMS/printer-utils-1.0-15.1mdk.ia64.rpm 34a738aaaa143ba707bbab98b382f1de ia64/8.1/SRPMS/printer-drivers-1.0-15.1mdk.src.rpm Mandrake Linux 8.2/PPC: 44be94916206a8654ec221f88b00d7cd ppc/8.2/RPMS/cups-drivers-1.1-48.2mdk.ppc.rpm e675ec1f149008fbad95f58b3d2c1e1e ppc/8.2/RPMS/foomatic-1.1-0.20020323mdk.ppc.rpm 845135b798e7f8615f27ca1c0b06cb97 ppc/8.2/RPMS/ghostscript-6.53-13.2mdk.ppc.rpm cdc8974e24bc569cc9350e7d04c96a37 ppc/8.2/RPMS/ghostscript-module-X-6.53-13.2mdk.ppc.rpm f2b32d66a1322dde8dcc2e12938acf73 ppc/8.2/RPMS/gimpprint-4.2.1-0.pre5.2mdk.ppc.rpm cb2df5391c821378538bed866c1837d3 ppc/8.2/RPMS/libgimpprint1-4.2.1-0.pre5.2mdk.ppc.rpm 3ad48f824b2c61bf2bba3e5f5a050b1d ppc/8.2/RPMS/libgimpprint1-devel-4.2.1-0.pre5.2mdk.ppc.rpm 18e6c302965cb9a39a12b0fb412af1fe ppc/8.2/RPMS/omni-0.6.0-2.2mdk.ppc.rpm 3f98fbfd4c3bf4302cf6b6a754bcdab3 ppc/8.2/RPMS/printer-filters-1.0-48.2mdk.ppc.rpm 89ad60d1446fadc9d144487e26607f93 ppc/8.2/RPMS/printer-testpages-1.0-48.2mdk.ppc.rpm 2de8e1bbbc33b87910c9584a3e024832 ppc/8.2/RPMS/printer-utils-1.0-48.2mdk.ppc.rpm 2118f3e17f58f70dc4dc91e9c92b7ab0 ppc/8.2/SRPMS/printer-drivers-1.0-48.2mdk.src.rpm ________________________________________________________________________ Bug IDs fixed (see https://qa.mandrakesoft.com for more information): 594 - cupsomatic+ghostscript+hpijs stop working 641 - foomatic-gswrapper causes printing to fail ________________________________________________________________________ To upgrade automatically, use MandrakeUpdate.
