Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.62904
Category:	Red Hat Local Security Checks
Title:	RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2008:0193
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory RHSA-2008:0193. The lspp-eal4-config-ibm and capp-lspp-eal4-config-hp packages contain utilities and documentation for configuring a machine for the Controlled Access Protection Profile, or the Labeled Security Protection Profile. It was discovered that use of the 'capp-lspp-config' script results in the '/etc/pam.d/system-auth' file being set to world-writable. Authorized local users who have limited privileges could then exploit this to gain additional access, or to escalate their privileges. (CVE-2008-0884) This issue only affects users who have installed either of these packages from the Red Hat FTP site as their base system configuration kickstart script. New deployments using the lspp-eal4-config-ibm or capp-lspp-eal4-config-hp packages are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve this issue. Solution: For systems already deployed, the following command can be run as root to restore the permissions to a secure setting: chmod 0644 /etc/pam.d/system-auth Please note that this update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2008-0193.html http://www.redhat.com/security/updates/classification/#important Risk factor : High CVSS Score: 6.9
