| 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
