-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- CONECTIVA LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- PACKAGE : nfs-utils SUMMARY : Buffer overflow vulnerability DATE : 2003-07-22 10:17:00 ID : CLA-2003:700 RELEVANT RELEASES : 7.0, 8, 9 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- DESCRIPTION The nfs-utils[1] package provides the utilities for Linux NFS client and server. Janusz Niewiadomski found[2] a buffer overflow vulnerability[3] in the nfs-utils package that could be used by remote attackers to cause a denial of service condition or execute arbitrary code with administrator privileges. To fix this issue, the author has released[4] a new version. The packages made available through this update contain the same fix as the one applied to this new version, 1.0.4. SOLUTION It is recommended that all nfs-utils users upgrade their packages. IMPORTANT: after the upgrade, the nfs and nfs-lock services have to be restarted if they were already running. To do this, run the following commands as root: /sbin/service nfs restart /sbin/service nfslock restart UPDATED PACKAGES ftp://atualizacoes.conectiva.com.br/7.0/SRPMS/nfs-utils-0.3.1-6U70_1cl.src.rpm ftp://atualizacoes.conectiva.com.br/7.0/RPMS/nfs-utils-0.3.1-6U70_1cl.i386.rpm ftp://atualizacoes.conectiva.com.br/8/SRPMS/nfs-utils-0.3.1-6U80_1cl.src.rpm ftp://atualizacoes.conectiva.com.br/8/RPMS/nfs-utils-0.3.1-6U80_1cl.i386.rpm ftp://atualizacoes.conectiva.com.br/9/SRPMS/nfs-utils-1.0.1-17482U90_1cl.src.rpm ftp://atualizacoes.conectiva.com.br/9/RPMS/nfs-utils-1.0.1-17482U90_1cl.i386.rpm ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS The apt tool can be used to perform RPM packages upgrades: - run: apt-get update - after that, execute: apt-get upgrade Detailed instructions reagarding the use of apt and upgrade examples can be found at http://distro.conectiva.com.br/atualizacoes/#apt?idioma=en - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- All packages are signed with Conectiva's GPG key.
