Title:	Fedora Core 8 FEDORA-2008-3012 (audit)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to audit announced via advisory FEDORA-2008-3012. The audit package contains the user space utilities for storing and searching the audit records generate by the audit subsystem in the Linux 2.6 kernel. Update Information: This release fixes the init script headers to not provide LSB info. This was causing audit to start too late. It also fixes a problem where saddr fields were not being decoded correctly on avc events in ausearch. This also fixes a buffer overflow in audit_log_user_command that is caught by FORTIFY_SOURCE, resulting in an application crash. sudo is the only application known to use this vulnerable function. ChangeLog: * Wed Apr 2 2008 Steve Grubb 1.6.8-4 - Fix overflow in audit_log_user_command bz 438840 - Remove LSB headers from init scripts - Fix ausearch to not escape saddr in avcs References: [ 1 ] Bug #440275 - CVE-2008-1628 audit: audit_log_user_command() Buffer Overflow https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=440275 Solution: Apply the appropriate updates. This update can be installed with the yum update program. Use su -c 'yum update audit' at the command line.
