VMware Security Advisory
Advisory ID: VMSA-2009-0009
Synopsis: ESX Service Console updates for udev, sudo, and curl
Issue date: 2009-07-10
Updated on: 2009-07-10 (initial release of advisory)
CVE numbers: CVE-2009-1185 CVE-2009-0034 CVE-2009-0037
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Summary
Update for Service Console packages udev,sudo, and curl
2. Relevant releases
VMware ESX 4.0.0 without bulletin ESX400-200906411-SG,
ESX400-200906406-SG, ESX400-200906407-SG.
3. Problem Description
a. Service Console package udev
A vulnerability in the udev program did not verify whether a NETLINK
message originates from kernel space, which allows local users to
gain privileges by sending a NETLINK message from user space.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the name CVE-2009-1185 to this issue.
Please see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1011786 for details.
The following table lists what action remediates the vulnerability
(column 4) if a solution is available.
VMware Product Running Replace with/
Product Version on Apply Patch
============= ======== ======= =================
VirtualCenter any Windows not affected
hosted * any any not affected
ESXi any ESXi not affected

ESX 3.5 ESX not affected
ESX 3.0.3 ESX not affected
ESX 3.0.2 ESX not affected
ESX 2.5.5 ESX not affected
* hosted products are VMware Workstation, Player, ACE, Server, Fusion.
b. Service Console package sudo
Service Console package for sudo has been updated to version
sudo-1.6.9p17-3. This fixes the following issue: Sudo versions
1.6.9p17 through 1.6.9p19 do not properly interpret a system group
in the sudoers file during authorization decisions for a user who
belongs to that group, which might allow local users to leverage an
applicable sudoers file and gain root privileges by using a sudo
command.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the name CVE-2009-0034 to this issue.

c. Service Console package curl
Service Console package for curl has been updated to version
curl-7.15.5-2.1. This fixes the following issue: The redirect
implementation in curl and libcurl 5.11 through 7.19.3, when
CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled, accepts arbitrary Location
values, which might allow remote HTTP servers to trigger arbitrary
requests to intranet servers, read or overwrite arbitrary files by
using a redirect to a file: URL, or execute arbitrary commands by
using a redirect to an scp: URL.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the name CVE-2009-0037 to this issue.
