Updated libcap-ng packages fix CVE-2014-3215

Updated libcap-ng packages fix security vulnerability: capnglock in libcap-ng before 0.7.4 sets securebits in an attempt to prevent regaining capabilities using setuid-root programs. This allows a user to run setuid programs, such as seunshare from policycoreutils, as uid 0 but without...

CVE-2014-0181

The Netlink implementation in the Linux kernel through 3.14.1 does not provide a mechanism for authorizing socket operations based on the opener of a socket, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions and modify network configurations by using a Netlink socket for the 1 stdou...

Code injection

libgio, when used in setuid or other privileged programs in spice-gtk and possibly other products, allows local users to gain privileges and execute arbitrary code via the DBUSSYSTEMBUSADDRESS environment variable. NOTE: it could be argued that this is a vulnerability in the applications that do...

DEBIAN-CVE-2012-3524

libdbus 1.5.x and earlier, when used in setuid or other privileged programs in X.org and possibly other products, allows local users to gain privileges and execute arbitrary code via the DBUSSYSTEMBUSADDRESS environment variable. NOTE: libdbus maintainers state that this is a vulnerability in the...

CVE-2012-4425

The CVE affects spice-gtk (and possibly other products) where libgio is used in setuid/privileged contexts. The root cause is inadequate sanitization of the DBUS_SYSTEM_BUS_ADDRESS environment variable, enabling a local attacker to gain escalated privileges and execute arbitrary code. Evidence in...

dbus: privilege escalation when libdbus is used in setuid/setgid application

libdbus 1.5.x and earlier, when used in setuid or other privileged programs in X.org and possibly other products, allows local users to gain privileges and execute arbitrary code via the DBUSSYSTEMBUSADDRESS environment variable. NOTE: libdbus maintainers state that this is a vulnerability in the...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : glibc (MDKSA-2000:045-1)

A bug was discovered in ld.so that could allow local users to obtain root privileges. The dynamic loader, ld.so, is responsible for making shared libraries available within a program at run-time. Normally, a user is allowed to load additional shared libraries when executing a program; they can be...

Information disclosure

The C handler plug-in in Automatic Bug Reporting Tool ABRT, possibly 2.0.8 and earlier, does not properly set the group GID permissions on core dump files for setuid programs when the sysctl fs.suiddumpable option is set to 2, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information...

SuSE 10 Security Update : Linux kernel (ZYPP Patch Number 7568)

This kernel update for the SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 SP3 kernel fixes several security issues and bugs. The following security issues were fixed : - Multiple integer overflows in the nextpidmap function in kernel/pid.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service system cra...

glibc: ld.so insecure handling of privileged programs' RPATHs with $ORIGIN

ld.so in the GNU C Library aka glibc or libc6 2.13 and earlier expands the $ORIGIN dynamic string token when RPATH is composed entirely of this token, which might allow local users to gain privileges by creating a hard link in an arbitrary directory to a 1 setuid or 2 setgid program with this RPA...

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS / 9.10 / 10.04 LTS / 10.10 : eglibc, glibc vulnerability (USN-1009-2)

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 ...

pam: pam_namespace executes namespace.init with service's environment

pamnamespace.c in the pamnamespace module in Linux-PAM aka pam before 1.1.3 uses the environment of the invoking application or service during execution of the namespace.init script, which might allow local users to gain privileges by running a setuid program that relies on the pamnamespace PAM...

glibc: ld.so arbitrary DSO loading via LD_AUDIT in setuid/setgid programs

ld.so in the GNU C Library aka glibc or libc6 before 2.11.3, and 2.12.x before 2.12.2, does not properly restrict use of the LDAUDIT environment variable to reference dynamic shared objects DSOs as audit objects, which allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging an unsafe DSO located in a...
