Detail

Synopsis

Multiple vulnerabilities were found in glibc, the worst of which allowing local attackers to execute arbitrary code as root.

Background

The GNU C library is the standard C library used by Gentoo Linux systems.

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities were found in glibc, amongst others the widely-known recent LD_AUDIT and $ORIGIN issues. For further information please consult the CVE entries referenced below.

Impact

A local attacker could execute arbitrary code as root, cause a Denial of Service, or gain privileges. Additionally, a user-assisted remote attacker could cause the execution of arbitrary code, and a context-dependent attacker could cause a Denial of Service.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All GNU C library users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-libs/glibc-2.11.2-r3"

Title: DSA-2122-1 glibc -- missing input sanitisation
Description: Ben Hawkes and Tavis Ormandy discovered that the dynamic loader in GNU libc allows local users to gain root privileges using a crafted LD_AUDIT environment variable. For the stable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 2.7-18lenny6. For the upcoming stable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 2.11.2-6+squeeze1 of the eglibc package. For the unstable distribution, this problem will be fixed soon. We recommend that you upgrade your glibc packages.

Description: Maksymilian Arciemowicz discovered that the GNU C library did not correctly handle integer overflows in the strfmon function. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted format string, a remote attacker could crash applications, leading to a denial of service. Jeff Layton and Dan Rosenberg discovered that the GNU C library did not correctly handle newlines in the mntent family of functions. If a local attacker were able to inject newlines into a mount entry through other vulnerable mount helpers, they could disrupt the system or possibly gain root privileges. Dan Rosenberg discovered that the GNU C library did not correctly validate certain ELF program headers. If a user or automated system were tricked into verifying a specially crafted ELF program, a remote attacker could execute arbitrary code with user privileges

Description: 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

Description: Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the GNU C Library and its derivatives. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: CVE-2008-1391, CVE-2009-4880, CVE-2009-4881 Maksymilian Arciemowicz discovered that the GNU C library did not correctly handle integer overflows in the strfmon family of functions. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted format string, a remote attacker could crash applications, leading to a denial of service. CVE-2010-0296 Jeff Layton and Dan Rosenberg discovered that the GNU C library did not correctly handle newlines in the mntent family of functions. If a local attacker were able to inject newlines into a mount entry through other vulnerable mount helpers, they could disrupt the system or possibly gain root privileges. CVE-2010-0830 Dan Rosenberg discovered that the GNU C library did not correctly validate certain ELF program headers. If a user or automated system were tricked into verifying a specially crafted ELF program, a remote attacker could execute arbitrary code with user privileges. For the stable distribution, these problems have been fixed in version 2.7-18lenny4 of the glibc package. For the testing distribution, these problems will be fixed soon. For the unstable distribution, these problems have been fixed in version 2.1.11-1 of the eglibc package. We recommend that you upgrade your glibc or eglibc packages.

68920 GNU C Library Dynamic Linker LD_AUDIT non-setuid Library Loading Issue

GNU C Library contains a flaw related to 'ld.so' failing to properly restrict use of the LD_AUDIT environment variable to reference dynamic shared objects as audit objects. This may allow a local attacker to gain elevated privileges via an unsafe DSO located in a trusted library directory.
68721 GNU C Library Dynamic Linker $ORIGIN Substitution Expansion Weakness Local Pr...

The weakness is caused due to dynamic linker expanding the "$ORIGIN" substitution for privileged applications, which can be exploited to gain escalated privileges by e.g. hard linking to a setuid application and forcing the expansion of "$ORIGIN" via "LD_AUDIT".
