Detail
| Problem Description: An updated util-linux package that corrects a security issue and fixes several bugs is 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 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 util-linux package contains a collection of basic system utilities. A flaw was found in the way the login process handled logins which did not require authentication. Certain processes which conduct their own authentication could allow a remote user to bypass intended access policies which would normally be enforced by the login process. (CVE-2006-7108) This update also fixes the following bugs: * The partx, addpart and delpart commands were not documented. * The "umount -l" command did not work on hung NFS mounts with cached data. * The mount command did not mount NFS V3 share where sec=none was specified. * The mount command did not read filesystem LABEL from unpartitioned disks. * The mount command did not recognize labels on VFAT filesystems. * The fdisk command did not support 4096 sector size for the "-b" option. * The mount man page did not list option "mand" or information about /etc/mtab limitations. All users of util-linux should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct 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/): 169299 - umount -l should work on hung NFS mounts with cached data 177331 - CVE-2006-7108 login omits pam_acct_mgmt & pam_chauthtok when authentication is skipped. 187370 - Unable to mount NFS V3 share where sec=none is specified 188099 - can't mount iscsi ext3 fs by label. 197768 - man mount' does not list option 'mand' |
