Category:	Slackware Local Security Checks
Title:	Slackware: Security Advisory (SSA:2005-255-02)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'util-linux' package(s) announced via the SSA:2005-255-02 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'util-linux' package(s) announced via the SSA:2005-255-02 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: New util-linux packages are available for Slackware 8.1, 9.0, 9.1, 10.0, 10.1, and -current to fix a security issue with umount. A bug in the '-r' option could allow flags in /etc/fstab to be improperly dropped on user-mountable volumes, allowing a user to gain root privileges. For more details, see David Watson's post to BugTraq: [link moved to references] Here are the details from the Slackware 10.1 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/util-linux-2.12p-i486-2.tgz: Patched an issue with umount where if the umount failed when the '-r' option was used, the filesystem would be remounted read-only but without any extra flags specified in /etc/fstab. This could allow an ordinary user able to mount a floppy or CD (but with nosuid, noexec, nodev, etc in /etc/fstab) to run a setuid binary from removable media and gain root privileges. Reported to BugTraq by David Watson: [link moved to references] (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Affected Software/OS: 'util-linux' package(s) on Slackware 8.1, Slackware 9.0, Slackware 9.1, Slackware 10.0, Slackware 10.1, Slackware current. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 7.2 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
