| EnGarde Secure Linux Security Advisory October 03, 2002 |
| http://www.engardelinux.org/ ESA-20021003-021 |
| |
| Package: glibc |
| Summary: several security-related updates. |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
EnGarde Secure Linux is a secure distribution of Linux that features
improved access control, host and network intrusion detection, Web
based secure remote management, complete e-commerce using AllCommerce,
and integrated open source security tools.
OVERVIEW
- --------
This update fixes several vulnerabilities in the GNU libc (glibc)
package: potentially exploitable integer overflows in calloc(3) and
xdr_array, and buffer overruns in the res_* functions which could result
in a denial of service.
SOLUTION
- --------
Users of the EnGarde Professional edition can use the Guardian Digital
Secure Network to update their systems automatically.
EnGarde Community users should upgrade to the most recent version
as outlined in this advisory. Updates may be obtained from:
ftp://ftp.engardelinux.org/pub/engarde/stable/updates/
http://ftp.engardelinux.org/pub/engarde/stable/updates/
Before upgrading the package, the machine must either:
a) be booted into a "standard" kernel; or
b) have LIDS disabled.
To disable LIDS, execute the command:
# /sbin/lidsadm -S -- -LIDS_GLOBAL
To install the updated package, execute the command:
# rpm -Uvh files
You must now update the LIDS configuration by executing the command:
# /usr/sbin/config_lids.pl
To re-enable LIDS (if it was disabled), execute the command:
# /sbin/lidsadm -S -- +LIDS_GLOBAL
To verify the signatures of the updated packages, execute the command:
# rpm -Kv files
