Detail
| A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Summary: OProfile could be made to run programs as an administrator. Software Description: - oprofile: System-wide profiler for Linux systems Details: Stephane Chauveau discovered that OProfile did not properly perform input validation when processing arguments to opcontrol. A local user who is allowed to run opcontrol with privileges could exploit this to run arbitrary commands as the privileged user. (CVE-2011-1760, CVE-2011-2471) Stephane Chauveau discovered a directory traversal vulnerability in OProfile when processing the --save argument to opcontrol. A local user could exploit this to overwrite arbitrary files with the privileges of the user invoking the program. (CVE-2011-2472) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS: In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.

| Description: | Jamie Strandboge noticed that the patch propoused to fix CVE-2011-1760 in OProfile has been incomplete. For reference, the description of the original DSA, is: OProfile is a performance profiling tool which is configurable by opcontrol, its control utility. Stephane Chauveau reported several ways to inject arbitrary commands in the arguments of this utility. If a local unprivileged user is authorised by sudoers file to run opcontrol as root, this user could use the flaw to escalate his privileges. | ||
