-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | EnGarde Secure Linux Security Advisory June 07, 2002 | | http://www.engardelinux.org/ ESA-20020607-013 | | | | Package: imap | | Summary: Remote buffer overflow in imap daemon. | +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ EnGarde Secure Linux is a secure distribution of Linux that features improved access control, host and network intrusion detection, Web based secure remote management, complete e-commerce using AllCommerce, and integrated open source security tools. OVERVIEW - -------- There is a buffer overflow vulnerability in imap which can allow a remote, authenticated user to execute commands as the user under which imapd is running. DETAIL - ------ Marcell Fodor discovered a buffer overflow condition in the imap daemon from the University of Washington. An authenticated user could send a malformed request to trigger the overflow and execute commands as the users UID/GID. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2002-0379 to this issue. SOLUTION - -------- Users of the EnGarde Professional edition can use the Guardian Digital Secure Network to update their systems automatically. EnGarde Community users should upgrade to the most recent version as outlined in this advisory. Updates may be obtained from: ftp://ftp.engardelinux.org/pub/engarde/stable/updates/ http://ftp.engardelinux.org/pub/engarde/stable/updates/ Before upgrading the package, the machine must either: a) be booted into a "standard" kernel; or b) have LIDS disabled. To disable LIDS, execute the command: # /sbin/lidsadm -S -- -LIDS_GLOBAL To install the updated package, execute the command: # rpm -Uvh file You must now update the LIDS configuration by executing the command: # /usr/sbin/config_lids.pl To re-enable LIDS (if it was disabled), execute the command: # /sbin/lidsadm -S -- +LIDS_GLOBAL To verify the signatures of the updated packages, execute the command: # rpm -Kv file UPDATED PACKAGES - ---------------- These updated packages are for EnGarde Secure Linux Community Edition.
