Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2008:208-1

http://www.mandriva.com/security/

_______________________________________________________________________

 

Package : pam_mount

Date : October 18, 2008

Affected: 2008.1

_______________________________________________________________________

 

Problem Description:

 

pam_mount 0.10 through 0.45, when luserconf is enabled, does not verify

mountpoint and source ownership before mounting a user-defined volume,

which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions via

a local mount.

 

The updated packages have been patched to fix the issue.

 

Update:

 

The fix for CVE-2008-3970 uncovered crashes in the code handling the

'allow', 'deny', and 'require' options in pam_mount-0.33, released

for Mandriva Linux 2008 Spring. Also, the verification of the allowed

mount options ('allow' configuration directive) was inverted in

pam_mount-0.33.

 

This update fixes these issues.
