Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
________________________________________________________________________
Package name: util-linux
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2002:047
Date: August 8th, 2002
Affected versions: 7.1, 7.2, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, Corporate Server 1.0.1,
Single Network Firewall 7.2
________________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
Michal Zalewski found a vulnerability in the util-linux package with
the chfn utility. This utility allows users to modify some information
in the /etc/passwd file, and is installed setuid root. Using a
carefully crafted attack sequence, an attacker can exploit a complex
file locking and modification race that would allow them to make
changes to the /etc/passwd file. To successfully exploit this
vulnerability and obtain privilege escalation, there is a need for some
administrator interaction, and the password file must over over 4kb in
size; the attacker's entry cannot be in the last 4kb of the file.
