Linux-Mandrake Security Update Advisory
________________________________________________________________________
Package name: glibc
Date: August 29th, 2000
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2000:040
Affected versions: 7.0, 7.1
________________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
A bug was discovered in ld.so that could allow local users to obtain
root privileges. The dynamic loader, ld.so, is responsible for making
shared libraries available within a program at run-time. Normally, a
user is allowed to load additional shared libraries when executing a
program; they can be specified with environment variables such as
LD_PRELOAD. Because this is not acceptable for applications that are
setuid root, ld.so normally removes these environment variables for
setuid root programs. The discovered bug causes these environment
variables to not be removed under certain circumstances. While
setuid programs themselves are not vulnerable, external programs they
execute can be affected by this problem. These updated packages
contain a patch from Caldera Systems, Inc. that fixes this
vulernability. It should be noted that as of yet there are no known
exploits for this problem, but all users should update to these glibc
packages.
________________________________________________________________________
Please verify these md5 checksums of the updates prior to upgrading to
ensure the integrity of the downloaded package. You can do this by
running the md5sum program on the downloaded package by using
"md5sum package.rpm".

To upgrade automatically, use « MandrakeUpdate ».
If you want to upgrade manually, download the updated package from one
of our FTP server mirrors and uprade with "rpm -Uvh package_name".
You can download the updates directly from:
ftp://ftp.linux.tucows.com/pub/distributions/Mandrake/Mandrake/updates
ftp://ftp.free.fr/pub/Distributions_Linux/Mandrake/updates
Or try one of the other mirrors 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
Linux-Mandrake 7.1, look for it in "updates/7.1/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, so if you want an immediate upgrade, please use one of the two
above-listed mirrors.
