Cross references:=20=20 Obsoletes:=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20 CVE Names: CAN-2003-0102 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Topic: Updated file packages are available to close a buffer overflow vulnerabilit= y. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Linux 6.2 - i386 Red Hat Linux 7.0 - i386 Red Hat Linux 7.1 - i386 Red Hat Linux 7.2 - i386, ia64 Red Hat Linux 7.3 - i386 Red Hat Linux 8.0 - i386 3. Problem description: The file command is used to identify a particular file according to the type of data contained in the file. The file utility before version 3.41 contains a buffer overflow vulnerability in the ELF parsing routines. This vulnerability may allow an attacker to create a carefully crafted binary which can allow arbitrary code to be run if a victim runs the 'file' command on that binary. There are other ways that an attacker may be able to take advantage of this vulnerability in the file command: -- In Red Hat Linux 6.2 and 7.0, the rhs-printfilter package makes use of the file command. This would allow an attacker who has the ability to print to execute arbitrary commands (as the user 'lp') on the print server by sending a malicious file. -- On some Red Hat Linux distributions it may also be possible to trigger this exploit by encouraging the victim to use the 'less' command on a malicious file which is named so that it will be processed by the 'lesspipe.sh' script. All users are advised to update to these erratum packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this vulnerability.=20=20 Red Hat would like to thank iDefense for disclosing this issue and zen-parse for discussion of some of the implications. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied. To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run: rpm -Fvh [filenames] where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the desired RPMs. Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system. 5.
