Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.880567
Category:	CentOS Local Security Checks
Title:	CentOS Update for glibc CESA-2010:0793 centos5 i386
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'glibc'; package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'glibc' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. Vulnerability Insight: The glibc packages contain the standard C libraries used by multiple programs on the system. These packages contain the standard C and the standard math libraries. Without these two libraries, a Linux system cannot function properly. It was discovered that the glibc dynamic linker/loader did not perform sufficient safety checks when loading dynamic shared objects (DSOs) to provide callbacks for its auditing API during the execution of privileged programs. A local attacker could use this flaw to escalate their privileges via a carefully-chosen system DSO library containing unsafe constructors. (CVE-2010-3856) Red Hat would like to thank Ben Hawkes and Tavis Ormandy for reporting this issue. All users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. Affected Software/OS: glibc on CentOS 5 Solution: Please install the updated packages. CVSS Score: 7.2 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
