Trustix alert 2003-0039 (glibc)
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Trustix Secure Linux Security Advisory #2003-0039 Package name: glibc Summary: CAN-2003-0689 Date: 2003-11-15 Affected versions: TSL 2.0 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package description: The glibc package contains standard libraries which are used by multiple programs on the system. In order to save disk space and memory, as well as to make upgrading easier, common system code is kept in one place and shared between programs. This particular package contains the most important sets of shared libraries: the standard C library and the standard math library. Without these two libraries, a Linux system will not function. The glibc package also contains national language (locale) support and timezone databases. Problem description: The getgrouplist function in GNU libc allows may attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) and execute arbitrary code when a user is a member of a large number of groups, which can cause a buffer overflow. Action: We recommend that all systems with this package installed be upgraded. Location: All TSL updates are available from <URI:http://http.trustix.org/pub/trustix/updates/> <URI:ftp://ftp.trustix.org/pub/trustix/updates/> About Trustix Secure Linux: Trustix Secure Linux is a small Linux distribution for servers. With focus on security and stability, the system is painlessly kept safe and up to date from day one using swup, the automated software updater. Automatic updates: Users of the SWUP tool can enjoy having updates automatically installed using 'swup --upgrade'. Public testing: These packages have been available for public testing for some time. If you want to contribute by testing the various packages in the testing tree, please feel free to share your findings on the tsl-discuss mailinglist. The testing tree is located at <URI:http://tsldev.trustix.org/cloud/> You may also use swup for public testing of updates: site { class = 0 location = "http://tsldev.trustix.org/cloud/rdfs/latest.rdf" regexp = ".*" } Questions?
