Problem description: GNU cpio copies files into or out of a cpio or tar archive. A race condition bug was found in cpio. It is possible for a local malicious user to modify the permissions of a local file if they have write access to a directory in which a cpio archive is being extracted. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-1111 to this issue. Additionally, this update adds cpio support for archives larger than 2GB. However, the size of individual files within an archive is limited to 4GB. All users of cpio are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which contains backported fixes for these issues. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. Use Red Hat Network to download and update your packages. To launch the Red Hat Update Agent, use the following command: up2date For information on how to install packages manually, refer to the following Web page for the System Administration or Customization guide specific to your system: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/ 5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/): 105617 - cpio does not support large files > 2GB 144688 - cpio fails to unpack initrd on ppc 154507 - 511278 - needs fix for RHEL 4 on cpio bugzilla 105617 155749 - CAN-2005-1111 Race condition in cpio |
