Fedora alert FEDORA-2013-13131 (livecd-tools)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2013-13131 2013-07-17 01:23:13 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : livecd-tools Product : Fedora 18 Version : 18.17 Release : 1.fc18 URL : http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/livecd Summary : Tools for building live CDs Description : Tools for generating live CDs on Fedora based systems including derived distributions such as RHEL, CentOS and others. See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD for more details. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Added a couple features to livecd-iso-to-disk (--updates and --ks) and fixed a traceback when there are dependency problems running livecd-creator. Require rsync The livecd-tools package provides support for reading and executing Kickstart files in order to create a system image. It was discovered that livecd-tools gave the root user an empty password rather than leaving the password locked in situations where no 'rootpw' directive was used or when the 'rootpw --lock' directive was used within the Kickstart file, which could allow local users to gain access to the root account. (CVE-2013-2069) Please note that livecd-tools is also used by appliance-tools to create images used for virtual machines, USB based systems, and so on. Additionally, the Python script components of livecd-tools have been broken out into a separate package named python-imgcreate on some distributions (such as Fedora). Acknowledgements: Red Hat would like to thank Amazon Web Services for reporting this issue. Amazon Web Services acknowledges Sylvain Beucler as the original reporter. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Mon Jul 15 2013 Brian C.
