Red Hat Security Advisory

 

Synopsis: Important: tog-pegasus security update

Advisory ID: RHSA-2008:1001-01

Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2008-1001.html

Issue date: 2008-11-25

CVE Names: CVE-2008-4313 CVE-2008-4315

=====================================================================

 

1. Summary:

 

Updated tog-pegasus packages that fix security issues are now available

for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

 

This update has been rated as having important 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. Description:

 

The tog-pegasus packages provide OpenPegasus Web-Based Enterprise

Management (WBEM) services. WBEM is a platform and resource independent

Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) standard that defines a common

information model and communication protocol for monitoring and controlling

resources.

 

Red Hat defines additional security enhancements for OpenGroup Pegasus WBEM

services in addition to those defined by the upstream OpenGroup Pegasus

release. For details regarding these enhancements, refer to the file

"README.RedHat.Security", included in the Red Hat tog-pegasus package.

 

After re-basing to version 2.7.0 of the OpenGroup Pegasus code, these

additional security enhancements were no longer being applied. As a

consequence, access to OpenPegasus WBEM services was not restricted to the

dedicated users as described in README.RedHat.Security. An attacker able to

authenticate using a valid user account could use this flaw to send

requests to WBEM services. (CVE-2008-4313)

 

Note: default SELinux policy prevents tog-pegasus from modifying system

files. This flaw's impact depends on whether or not tog-pegasus is confined

by SELinux, and on any additional CMPI providers installed and enabled on a

particular system.

 

Failed authentication attempts against the OpenPegasus CIM server were not

logged to the system log as documented in README.RedHat.Security. An

attacker could use this flaw to perform password guessing attacks against a

user account without leaving traces in the system log. (CVE-2008-4315)

 

All tog-pegasus users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,

which contain 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.
