Test Kennung:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.51533
Kategorie:Conectiva Local Security Checks
Titel:Conectiva Security Advisory CLA-2002:523
Zusammenfassung:NOSUMMARY
Beschreibung:Description:

The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory CLA-2002:523.

The util-linux package contains a large variety of system
utilities that are necessary for a Linux system to function.
Among many features, it includes the chfn utility, a suid root tool
used to change user account information.

Michal Zalewski found a race condition vulnerability[1] in the way
chfn locks files when changing /etc/passwd. In order to sucessfully
exploit this vulnerability, some administrator interaction is needed
and there are some prerequisites to fulfill. Full details can be
found in the Bindview advisory[2].

Having what appears to be a stale /etc/ptmptmp file could be a sign
that the vulnerability is being exploited. In that case, the
administrator should investigate current users and processes before
attemtping to remove this file.

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
assigned the name CVE-2002-0638 to this issue[3].

Please note that the fixed packages were available in our ftp servers
since September 2nd, 2002.


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