logrotate: multiple vulnerabilities

Package(s):logrotate CVE #(s):CVE-2011-1098 CVE-2011-1154 CVE-2011-1155
Created:March 31, 2011 Updated:June 26, 2012
Description:

From the Red Hat advisory:

A shell command injection flaw was found in the way logrotate handled the shred directive. A specially-crafted log file could cause logrotate to execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the user running logrotate (root, by default). Note: The shred directive is not enabled by default. (CVE-2011-1154)

A race condition flaw was found in the way logrotate applied permissions when creating new log files. In some specific configurations, a local attacker could use this flaw to open new log files before logrotate applies the final permissions, possibly leading to the disclosure of sensitive information. (CVE-2011-1098)

An input sanitization flaw was found in logrotate. A log file with a specially-crafted file name could cause logrotate to abort when attempting to process that file a subsequent time. (CVE-2011-1155)
