Test Kennung:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.51492
Kategorie:Conectiva Local Security Checks
Titel:Conectiva Security Advisory CLA-2002:448
Zusammenfassung:NOSUMMARY
Beschreibung:Description:

The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory CLA-2002:448.

LibGTop (from the Gnome project) is a library that fetches system
related information such as CPU Load, Memory Usage and running
processes. It includes a daemon (libgtop_daemon) which can be used to
monitor processes remotely.

There are two libgtop_daemon vulnerabilities addressed by this
advisory:

The first one[1] was found by the Laboratory intexxia and is related
to a format string vulnerability in the libgtop_daemon logging
mechanisms. The second[2] was found later[3] by Flavio Veloso when
investigating the first and is a buffer overflow in the same part of
the code.

By exploiting any of the vulnerabilities an attacker would be able to
execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user libgtop_daemon
is running as.

Notice that libgtop_daemon is not invoked by default anywhere in
Conectiva Linux, even if you're running Gnome as your desktop.


Solution:
The apt tool can be used to perform RPM package upgrades
by running 'apt-get update' followed by 'apt-get upgrade'
