Detail
Problem Description: An updated sos package that fixes one security issue, several bugs, and adds various enhancements is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having low security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 6) - noarch Red Hat Enterprise Linux HPC Node (v. 6) - noarch Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 6) - noarch Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 6) - noarch 3. Description: The sos package contains a set of tools that gather information from system hardware, logs and configuration files. The information can then be used for diagnostic purposes and debugging. The sosreport utility collected the Kickstart configuration file ("/root/anaconda-ks.cfg"), but did not remove the root user's password from it before adding the file to the resulting archive of debugging information. An attacker able to access the archive could possibly use this flaw to obtain the root user's password. "/root/anaconda-ks.cfg" usually only contains a hash of the password, not the plain text password. (CVE-2012-2664) Note: This issue affected all installations, not only systems installed via Kickstart. A "/root/anaconda-ks.cfg" file is created by all installation types. This updated sos package also includes numerous bug fixes and enhancements. Space precludes documenting all of these changes in this advisory. Users are directed to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3 Technical Notes for information on the most significant of these changes. All users of sos are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which contains backported patches to correct these issues and add these enhancements. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/articles/11258 5. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/): 730641 - sosreport does not collect /proc/net details 749262 - sosreport does not gather RHN Proxy squid logs 749279 - rhn plugin should collect tomcat version 6 info, instead of obsoleted version 5 749919 - teach sos to collect /etc/modprobe.d/* 771393 - Sosreport fails for default values when rhn user name contains character '/' in it. 771501 - capture non standard log files via syslog - fix filename regexp 782589 - When copying directory into report using addCopySpec, links inside are not handled correctly 784862 - sos does not collect /proc/irq 784874 - sos does not collect /proc/cgroups 790402 - sosreport should blank root password in anaconda plugin 826884 - CVE-2012-2664 sosreport does not blank root password in anaconda plugin |
