From: security at caldera.com (security@...dera.com) Subject: Security Update: [CSSA-2002-039.0] Linux: bzip2 file creation and symbolic link vulnerabilities To: bugtraq@...urityfocus.com announce@...ts.caldera.com security-alerts@...uxsecurity.com full-disclosure@...ts.netsys.com ______________________________________________________________________________ SCO Security Advisory Subject: Linux: bzip2 file creation and symbolic link vulnerabilities Advisory number: CSSA-2002-039.0 Issue date: 2002 October 29 Cross reference: ______________________________________________________________________________ 1. Problem Description From the CVE Archives: bzip2 does not use the O_EXCL flag to create files during decompression and does not warn the user if an existing file would be overwritten, which could allow attackers to overwrite files via a bzip2 archive. bzip2 decompresses files with world-readable permissions before setting the permissions to what is specified in the bzip2 archive, which could allow local users to read the files as they are being decompressed. bzip2 uses the permissions of symbolic links instead of the actual files when creating an archive, which could cause the files to be extracted with less restrictive permissions than intended. 2. Vulnerable Supported Versions System Package ---------------------------------------------------------------------- OpenLinux 3.1.1 Server prior to bzip2-1.0.0-7MR.i386.rpm prior to bzip2-devel-1.0.0-7MR.i386.rpm prior to bzip2-devel-static-1.0.0-7MR.i386.rpm OpenLinux 3.1.1 Workstation prior to bzip2-1.0.0-7MR.i386.rpm prior to bzip2-devel-1.0.0-7MR.i386.rpm prior to bzip2-devel-static-1.0.0-7MR.i386.rpm OpenLinux 3.1 Server prior to bzip2-1.0.0-7MR.i386.rpm prior to bzip2-devel-1.0.0-7MR.i386.rpm prior to bzip2-devel-static-1.0.0-7MR.i386.rpm OpenLinux 3.1 Workstation prior to bzip2-1.0.0-7MR.i386.rpm prior to bzip2-devel-1.0.0-7MR.i386.rpm prior to bzip2-devel-static-1.0.0-7MR.i386.rpm 3. Solution The proper solution is to install the latest packages. Many customers find it easier to use the Caldera System Updater, called cupdate (or kcupdate under the KDE environment), to update these packages rather than downloading and installing them by hand. 4.
