Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
_______________________________________________________________________
Package name: fileutils/coreutils
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2003:106
Date: November 12th, 2003
Affected versions: 9.0, 9.1, 9.2, Corporate Server 2.1,
Multi Network Firewall 8.2
______________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
A memory starvation denial of service vulnerability in the ls program
was discovered by Georgi Guninski. It is possible to allocate a huge
amount of memory by specifying certain command-line arguments. It is
also possible to exploit this remotely via programs that call ls such
as wu-ftpd (although wu-ftpd is no longer shipped with Mandrake Linux).
Likewise, a non-exploitable integer overflow problem was discovered in
ls, which can be used to crash ls by specifying certain command-line
arguments. This can also be triggered via remotely accessible services
such as wu-ftpd.
The provided packages include a patched ls to fix these problems.
