Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2015-180

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2015-180
Posted Mar 31, 2015
Authored by Mandriva | Site mandriva.com

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2015-180 - apache-mod_wsgi before 4.2.4 contained an off-by-one error in applying a limit to the number of supplementary groups allowed for a daemon process group. The result could be that if more groups than the operating system allowed were specified to the option supplementary-groups, then memory corruption or a process crash could occur. It was discovered that mod_wsgi incorrectly handled errors when setting up the working directory and group access rights. A malicious application could possibly use this issue to cause a local privilege escalation when using daemon mode.

Package : apache-mod_wsgi
Date : March 30, 2015
Affected: Business Server 2.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

Updated apache-mod_wsgi package fixes security vulnerabilities:

apache-mod_wsgi before 4.2.4 contained an off-by-one error in
applying a limit to the number of supplementary groups allowed for
a daemon process group. The result could be that if more groups
than the operating system allowed were specified to the option
supplementary-groups, then memory corruption or a process crash
could occur.

It was discovered that mod_wsgi incorrectly handled errors when
setting up the working directory and group access rights. A malicious
application could possibly use this issue to cause a local privilege
escalation when using daemon mode (CVE-2014-8583).
