Detail

Problem Description:

Updated ccs packages that fix one security issue are now available for Red Hat Cluster Suite 4.

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 Cluster Suite 4AS - i386, ia64, ppc, x86_64 Red Hat Cluster Suite 4ES - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Cluster Suite 4WS - i386, ia64, x86_64

3. Description:

The Cluster Configuration System provides the ability for nodes in a cluster to obtain information about the cluster and each other. ccs_tool is a program for making online updates to the cluster configuration file.

An insecure temporary file use flaw was found in ccs_tool. A local attacker could use this flaw to conduct a symbolic link attack, allowing them to overwrite (with the output of ccs_tool) an arbitrary file writable by the victim running ccs_tool. (CVE-2008-6552)

All ccs users should upgrade to these updated packages, which correct this issue.

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 http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-11259

5. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

498980 - cluster product is affected by several symlink attack vulnerabilities 519436 - CVE-2008-6552 cman, gfs2-utils, rgmanager: multiple insecure temporary file use issues

Title: RHSA-2009:1337 -- gfs2-utils security and bug fix update (Low)
Description: An updated gfs2-utils package that fixes multiple security issues and various bugs is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. This update has been rated as having low security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. The gfs2-utils package provides the user-space tools necessary to mount, create, maintain, and test GFS2 file systems. Multiple insecure temporary file use flaws were discovered in GFS2 user level utilities. A local attacker could use these flaws to overwrite an arbitrary file writable by a victim running those utilities (typically root) with the output of the utilities via a symbolic link attack.
