Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.67380
Category:Fedora Local Security Checks
Title:Fedora Core 12 FEDORA-2010-6361 (nss_db)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to nss_db
announced via advisory FEDORA-2010-6361.

Update Information:

Stephane Chazelas reported that the nss_db module attempts to read a DB_CONFIG
file in the current directory when it is used. If the contents of the file
can't be parsed properly, the copy of libdb which nss_db uses will print an
error message. If nss_db is invoked from a setuid process, it may then expose
privileged information to the unprivileged user who started the process. This
update imports Kees Cook's fix for the issue (CVE-2010-0826).
