-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 _______________________________________________________________________ Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2008:009 http://www.mandriva.com/security/ _______________________________________________________________________ Package : autofs Date : January 11, 2008 Affected: 2007.0, 2007.1, 2008.0 _______________________________________________________________________ Problem Description: The default behaviour of autofs 5 for the hosts map did not specify the nosuid and nodev mount options. This could allow a local user with control of a remote NFS server to create a setuid root executable on the exported filesystem of the remote NFS server. If this filesystem was mounted with the default hosts map, it would allow the user to obtain root privileges (CVE-2007-5964). Likewise, the same scenario would be available for local users able to create device files on the exported filesystem which could allow the user to gain access to important system devices (CVE-2007-6285). Because the default behaviour of autofs was to mount -hosts map entries with the dev and suid options enabled by default, autofs has been altered to always use nodev and nosuid by default. In order to have the old behaviour, the configuration must now explicitly set the dev and/or suid options. This change only affects the -hosts map which corresponds to the /net entry in the default configuration. _______________________________________________________________________ References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-5964 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-6285 _______________________________________________________________________ Updated Packages: Mandriva Linux 2007.0: 3390bf55832dffd626f5f8ce0e8ad8ea 2007.0/i586/autofs-5.0.1-0.rc3.1.2mdv2007.0.i586.rpm 11c33cfb8d77ff2639c70e32ac04ed73 2007.0/SRPMS/autofs-5.0.1-0.rc3.1.2mdv2007.0.src.rpm Mandriva Linux 2007.0/X86_64: 3667ed52652d4d622e3f6d5308ef8699 2007.0/x86_64/autofs-5.0.1-0.rc3.1.2mdv2007.0.x86_64.rpm 11c33cfb8d77ff2639c70e32ac04ed73 2007.0/SRPMS/autofs-5.0.1-0.rc3.1.2mdv2007.0.src.rpm Mandriva Linux 2007.1: 5e14c8e8dd49af8edb3a341c0cbcad9d 2007.1/i586/autofs-5.0.2-8.3mdv2007.1.i586.rpm a2eb4b39b2b08884996ec57f903c05b4 2007.1/SRPMS/autofs-5.0.2-8.3mdv2007.1.src.rpm Mandriva Linux 2007.1/X86_64: 3970bd93953401bbbe1c38218f0decb9 2007.1/x86_64/autofs-5.0.2-8.3mdv2007.1.x86_64.rpm a2eb4b39b2b08884996ec57f903c05b4 2007.1/SRPMS/autofs-5.0.2-8.3mdv2007.1.src.rpm Mandriva Linux 2008.0: ab967ba2caa70946b72296ee7aae057d 2008.0/i586/autofs-5.0.2-8.3mdv2008.0.i586.rpm 30079164e7eaacaeb3f61dc3afbb9749 2008.0/SRPMS/autofs-5.0.2-8.3mdv2008.0.src.rpm Mandriva Linux 2008.0/X86_64: 15001d59d62d3c0909fce6ce2dbcb9bd 2008.0/x86_64/autofs-5.0.2-8.3mdv2008.0.x86_64.rpm 30079164e7eaacaeb3f61dc3afbb9749 2008.0/SRPMS/autofs-5.0.2-8.3mdv2008.0.src.rpm _______________________________________________________________________ To upgrade automatically use MandrivaUpdate or urpmi.
