Red Hat Security Advisory

 

Synopsis: Moderate: rpm security and bug fix update

Advisory ID: RHSA-2010:0679-01

Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2010-0679.html

Issue date: 2010-09-07

CVE Names: CVE-2010-2059

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

 

1. Summary:

 

Updated rpm packages that fix one security issue and one bug are now

available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

 

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate

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:

 

RHEL Desktop Workstation (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64

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

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64

 

3. Description:

 

The RPM Package Manager (RPM) is a command line driven package management

system capable of installing, uninstalling, verifying, querying, and

up[censored] software packages.

 

It was discovered that RPM did not remove setuid and setgid bits set on

binaries when upgrading packages. A local attacker able to create hard

links to binaries could use this flaw to keep those binaries on the system,

at a specific version level and with the setuid or setgid bit set, even if

the package providing them was upgraded by a system administrator. This

could have security implications if a package was upgraded because of a

security flaw in a setuid or setgid program. (CVE-2010-2059)

 

This update also fixes the following bug:

 

* A memory leak in the communication between RPM and the Security-Enhanced

Linux (SELinux) subsystem, which could have caused extensive memory

consumption. In reported cases, this issue was triggered by running

rhn_check when errata were scheduled to be applied. (BZ#627630)

 

All users of rpm are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which

contain backported patches to correct these issues.

 

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/):

 

598775 - CVE-2010-2059 rpm: fails to drop SUID/SGID bits on package upgrade

627630 - rpm: selinux context initialization memory leak
