PACKAGE : glibc
SUMMARY : Fix for a local vulnerability and daylight saving time for Brazil
DATE : 2003-10-14 18:27:00
ID : CLA-2003:762

RELEASES : 8, 9

DESCRIPTION
The GNU C Library (glibc)[1] is the standard library used by almost
any program in a common GNU/Linux system.
This glibc update includes the fix for a local vulnerability and new
timezone maps adjusted for the brazilian daylight saving time
2003/2004 schedule:
- Local vulnerability in the getgrouplist() function.
There is a buffer overflow in the getgrouplist() which can be
triggered when an user belongs to a number of groups larger than the
one expected by the application. The consequences of the exploitation
of this vulnerability vary accordingly to the application being
exploited and the scenario where it is running. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned
the name CAN-2003-0689 to this issue[2].
- Brazilian daylight saving time ("summer time") update.
On September 24th, 2003 the dates when daylight saving time will
begin and end have finally been published[3] (less than 30 days of
advance notice). These dates have been inserted in the zoneinfo data
of glibc. Historically the dates on which the daylight saving time
starts and ends have always been chosen from year to year and are
seldom the same.
The packages for Conectiva Linux 9 include the latest stable version
of glibc (2.3.2), which includes several bugfixes and enhancements
when compared to the originally distributed version (2.3.1). The
details of these changes can be obtained in the project page[4].
Conectiva Linux 7.0 is not subject to the getgroupslist()
vulnerability and will have a separate update for the daylight saving
time issue available in our updates page[5].
SOLUTION
It is recommended that all users upgrade their glibc packages. To fix
the timezone regarding the daylight saving time in Brazil, please run
the "timeconfig" tool after the update and re-select your timezone.
IMPORTANT: all applications that were already running before the
update must be restarted. The following command will list those
applications in the first column of the screen:
# lsof | grep \;
If there is any doubt about which applications should be restarted,
we recommend that the system be rebooted.
