Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2013-096

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2013-096
Posted Apr 11, 2013
Authored by Mandriva | Site mandriva.com

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2013-096 - The pidfile_write function in core/pidfile.c in keepalived 1.2.2 and earlier uses 0666 permissions for the checkers.pid, and vrrp.pid files in /var/run/, which allows local users to kill arbitrary processes by writing a PID to one of these files. A security issue due to syslog being used inside of sighandlers has also been fixed. Finally, keepalived was failing to load the ip_vs kernel module because of an incorrect modprobe option. This has also been corrected.

Package : keepalived
Date : April 10, 2013
Affected: Business Server 1.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

Updated keepalived package fixes security vulnerability:

The pidfile_write function in core/pidfile.c in keepalived 1.2.2
and earlier uses 0666 permissions for the (1) keepalived.pid, (2)
checkers.pid, and (3) vrrp.pid files in /var/run/, which allows local
users to kill arbitrary processes by writing a PID to one of these
files (CVE-2011-1784).

A security issue due to syslog being used inside of sighandlers has
also been fixed.

Finally, keepalived was failing to load the ip_vs kernel module
because of an incorrect modprobe option. This has also been corrected.
