Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.68807
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-1009-2 (glibc)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to glibc
announced via advisory USN-1009-2.

Details follow:

USN-1009-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the GNU C library. Colin Watson
discovered that the fixes were incomplete and introduced flaws with
setuid programs loading libraries that used dynamic string tokens in their
RPATH. If the man program was installed setuid, a local attacker could
exploit this to gain man user privileges, potentially leading to further
privilege escalations. Default Ubuntu installations were not affected.

Original advisory details:

Tavis Ormandy discovered multiple flaws in the GNU C Library's handling
of the LD_AUDIT environment variable when running a privileged binary. A
local attacker could exploit this to gain root privileges. (CVE-2010-3847,
CVE-2010-3856)

Solution:
The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS:
libc6 2.7-10ubuntu8

Ubuntu 9.10:
libc6 2.10.1-0ubuntu19

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
libc6 2.11.1-0ubuntu7.7

Ubuntu 10.10:
libc6 2.12.1-0ubuntu10.1

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
