-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 _______________________________________________________________________ Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2013:178 http://www.mandriva.com/en/support/security/ _______________________________________________________________________ Package : nfs-utils Date : June 25, 2013 Affected: Business Server 1.0 _______________________________________________________________________ Problem Description: Updated nfs-utils packages fix security vulnerability It was reported that rpc.gssd in nfs-utils is vulnerable to DNS spoofing due to it depending on PTR resolution for GSSAPI authentication. Because of this, if a user where able to poison DNS to a victim's computer, they would be able to trick rpc.gssd into talking to another server (perhaps with less security) than the intended server (with stricter security). If the victim has write access to the second (less secure) server, and the attacker has read access (when they normally might not on the secure server), the victim could write files to that server, which the attacker could obtain (when normally they would not be able to). To the victim this is transparent because the victim's computer asks the KDC for a ticket to the second server due to reverse DNS resolution; in this case Krb5 authentication does not fail because the victim is talking to the correct server (CVE-2013-1923). _______________________________________________________________________ References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2013-1923 http://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2013-0178.html _______________________________________________________________________ Updated Packages: Mandriva Business Server 1/X86_64: ef6b2113ca2c817fc22efcc1ac86cb4b mbs1/x86_64/nfs-utils-1.2.5-2.1.mbs1.x86_64.rpm b757876d603028118ed714a379632c87 mbs1/x86_64/nfs-utils-clients-1.2.5-2.1.mbs1.x86_64.rpm 1b545015a01bd04c6db45b4f37e49652 mbs1/SRPMS/nfs-utils-1.2.5-2.1.mbs1.src.rpm _______________________________________________________________________ To upgrade automatically use MandrivaUpdate or urpmi.
