Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
________________________________________________________________________
Package name: kernel22
Date: October 26th, 2001
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2001:082
Affected versions: 7.1, 7.2, 8.0, 8.1, Corporate Server 1.0.1,
Single Network Firewall 7.2
________________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
Rafal Wojtczuk found a vulnerability in the 2.2.19 and 2.4.11 Linux
kernels with the ptrace code and deeply nested symlinks spending an
arbitrary amount of time in the kernel code. The ptrace vulnerability
could be used by local users to gain root privilege, the symlink
vulnerability could result in a local DoS.
NOTE: This update is *not* meant to be done via MandrakeUpdate! You
must download the necessary RPMs and upgrade manually by following
these steps:
1. Type: rpm -ivh kernel-[version].i586.rpm
2. Type: mv kernel-[version].i586.rpm /tmp
3. Type: rpm -Fvh *.rpm
4a. You may wish to edit /etc/lilo.conf to ensure a new entry is in
place. The new kernel will be the last entry. Change any options
you need to change. You will also want to create a new entry with
the initrd and image directives pointing to the old kernel's
vmlinuz and initrd images so you may also boot from the old
images if required.
4b. PPC users must execute some additional instructions. First edit
/etc/yaboot.conf and add a new entry for the kernel and change
any options that you need to change. You must also create a new
initrd image to enable USB support for keyboards and mice by
typing:
mkinitrd --with=usb-ohci /boot/initrd-2.2.19-19.1mdk 2.2.19-19.1mdk
5a. Type: /sbin/lilo -v
5b. PPC users must type: /sbin/ybin -v
You may then reboot and use the new kernel and remove the older kernel
when you are comfortable using the upgraded one.

Please verify the update prior to upgrading to ensure the integrity of
the downloaded package. You can do this with the command:
rpm --checksig package.rpm
You can get the GPG public key of the Mandrake Linux Security Team at
http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/security/RPM-GPG-KEYS
If you use MandrakeUpdate, the verification of md5 checksum and GPG
signature is performed automatically for you.

To upgrade automatically, use MandrakeUpdate.
If you want to upgrade manually, download the updated package from one
of our FTP server mirrors and upgrade with "rpm -Fvh *.rpm".
You can download the updates directly from one of the mirror sites
listed at:
http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/ftp.php3.
Updated packages are available in the "updates/[ver]/RPMS/" directory.
For example, if you are looking for an updated RPM package for
Mandrake Linux 8.0, look for it in "updates/8.0/RPMS/". Updated source
RPMs are available as well, but you generally do not need to download
them.
Please be aware that sometimes it takes the mirrors a few hours to
update.
