summary: Glibc getgrouplist buffer overrun vulnerability |
| 12 |
severity: normal |
| 13 |
Gentoo bug: 33383 |
| 14 |
date: 2003-11-22 |
| 15 |
CVE: CAN-2003-0689 |
| 16 |
affected: <=2.2.4 |
| 17 |
fixed: >=2.2.5 |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
DESCRIPTION: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
A bug in the getgrouplist function can cause a buffer overflow if the size of |
| 23 |
the group list is too small to hold all the user's groups. This overflow can |
| 24 |
cause segmentation faults in user applications. This vulnerability exists |
| 25 |
only when an administrator has placed a user in a number of groups larger |
| 26 |
than that expected by an application. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
SOLUTION: |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
It is recommended that all Gentoo Linux users update their systems as |
| 33 |
follows: |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
emerge sync |
| 36 |
emerge '>=sys-libs/glibc-2.2.5' |
| 37 |
emerge clean |
| 38 |
