Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.871632
Category:Red Hat Local Security Checks
Title:RedHat Update for setroubleshoot and setroubleshoot-plugins RHSA-2016:1293-01
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'setroubleshoot and setroubleshoot-plugins'; package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'setroubleshoot and setroubleshoot-plugins'
package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
The setroubleshoot packages provide tools
to help diagnose SELinux problems. When Access Vector Cache (AVC) messages are
returned, an alert can be generated that provides information about the problem
and helps to track its resolution.

The setroubleshoot-plugins package provides a set of analysis plugins for
use with setroubleshoot. Each plugin has the capacity to analyze SELinux
AVC data and system data to provide user friendly reports describing how to
interpret SELinux AVC denials.

Security Fix(es):

* Shell command injection flaws were found in the way the setroubleshoot
executed external commands. A local attacker able to trigger certain
SELinux denials could use these flaws to execute arbitrary code with
privileges of the setroubleshoot user. (CVE-2016-4989)

* Shell command injection flaws were found in the way the setroubleshoot
allow_execmod and allow_execstack plugins executed external commands. A
local attacker able to trigger an execmod or execstack SELinux denial could
use these flaws to execute arbitrary code with privileges of the
setroubleshoot user. (CVE-2016-4444, CVE-2016-4446)

The CVE-2016-4444 and CVE-2016-4446 issues were discovered by Milos Malik
(Red Hat) and the CVE-2016-4989 issue was discovered by Red Hat Product
Security.

Note: On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.0 and 7.1, the setroubleshoot is run
with root privileges. Therefore, these issues could allow an attacker to
execute arbitrary code with root privileges.

Affected Software/OS:
setroubleshoot and setroubleshoot-plugins
on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 7)

Solution:
Please Install the Updated Packages.
