-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | EnGarde Secure Linux Security Advisory December 13, 2002 | | http://www.engardelinux.org/ ESA-20021213-033 | | | | Packages: MySQL, MySQL-client, MySQL-shared, mod_php, php | | Summary: Several MySQL vulnerabilities. | +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ EnGarde Secure Linux is a secure distribution of Linux that features improved access control, host and network intrusion detection, Web based secure remote management, e-commerce, and integrated open source security tools. OVERVIEW - -------- Stefan Esser from the PHP.net project discovered two vulnerabilities in MySQL which range from crashing the server to executing arbitrary code as the user under which the MySQL daemon runs (mysql). Please refer to the e-matters advisory for more information on these vulnerabilities: http://security.e-matters.de/advisories/042002.html PHP includes a copy of libmysql and is also affected by the bugs, so it is being updated as well. This update also fixes a bug in the PHP packages introduced by ESA-20021122-031 where session.save_path was set to /var/run/php, but no such directory existed. All users are recommended to upgrade as soon as possible. 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 files 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 files UPDATED PACKAGES - ---------------- These updated packages are for EnGarde Secure Linux Community Edition.
