To: [email protected]Subject: patch for exec+ptrace security hole available
A race condition exists in the kernel execve(2) implementation that opens
a small window of vulnerability for a non-privileged user to
ptrace(2) attach to a suid/sgid process.
2.8 patch:
ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.8/common/030_kernexec.patch
2.9 patch:
ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.9/common/007_kernexec.patch
The fix has also been committed to the 2.8 and 2.9 stable branches.
The bug was found by Georgi Guninski; Art Grabowski came up with a fix.
