Detail

Problem Description:

An updated aide package that fixes various bugs is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) - i386, ia64, ppc, s390x, x86_64

3. Problem description:

Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment (AIDE) is a file integrity checker and intrusion detection program.

A flaw was discovered in the way file checksums were stored in the AIDE database. A packaging flaw in the Red Hat AIDE rpm resulted in the file database not containing any file checksum information. This could prevent AIDE from detecting certain file modifications. (CVE-2007-3849)

This update also fixes the following bugs:

* certain configurations could result in a segmentation fault upon initialization.

* AIDE was unable to open its log file in the LSPP evaluated configuration.

* if AIDE found SELinux context differences, the changed files report it generated only included the first 32 characters of the context.

All users of AIDE are advised to upgrade to this updated package containing AIDE version 0.13.1 which is not vulnerable to these issues.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_58_10188

5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

225089 - aide Segmentation fault on initialization 236855 - LSPP: aide can't write its log file 236923 - CVE-2007-3849 Rebase aide to 0.13.1 240144 - [LSPP] aide report output limits context to 32char -- not evaluation blocking
