Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.68807
Category:	Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:	Ubuntu USN-1009-2 (glibc)
Summary:	Ubuntu USN-1009-2 (glibc)
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. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=USN-1009-2 Risk factor : High
