Detail
| Problem Description: Updated ncompress packages that address a security issue and fix bugs are now available. This update has been rated as having low security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (Advanced Server) version 2.1 - i386, ia64 Red Hat Linux Advanced Workstation 2.1 - ia64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 2.1 - i386 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 2.1 - i386 Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 3 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Desktop version 3 - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop version 4 - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64 3. Problem description: The ncompress package contains file compression and decompression utilities, which are compatible with the original UNIX compress utility (.Z file extensions). Tavis Ormandy of the Google Security Team discovered a lack of bounds checking in ncompress. An attacker could create a carefully crafted file that could execute arbitrary code if uncompressed by a victim. (CVE-2006-1168) In addition, two bugs that affected Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 ncompress packages were fixed: * The display statistics and compression results in verbose mode were not shown when operating on zero length files. * An attempt to compress zero length files resulted in an unexpected return code. Users of ncompress are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied. This update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system. 5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/): 189215 - ncompress does not display statistics when compressing 0 length files 189216 - Bad return code when compressing 0 length files 201335 - CVE-2006-1168 Possibility to underflow a .bss buffer with attacker controlled data |
