- --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Topic: New packages of am-utils are available for all Red Hat Linux platforms. This version includes an important security fix for a buffer overrun problem which is being actively exploited on the Internet.. 2. Bug IDs fixed: 4690 3. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Linux 6.0, all architectures Red Hat Linux 5.2, all architectures Red Hat Linux 4.2, all architectures 4. Obsoleted by: 5. Conflicts with: Red Hat Linux 4.2 shipped originally with a version of amd that is no longer being maintained. Since Red Hat Linux 5.0 we have switched to am-utils. This release of am-utils has been backported to 4.2 and it will obsolete the original 4.2 amd package. The following is valid for all releases and arcitectures: the default configuration file format for amd that Red Hat used to ship has been changed. Initially the /etc/amd.conf file used to be the default map file that would allow access to the /net hierarchy. Now /etc/amd.conf is the amd configuration file and the default map is installed as /etc/amd.net. 6. RPMs required (for Red Hat Linux 6.0, 5.2 and 4.2 respectively): Intel: ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.0/i386/am-utils-6.0.1s11-1.6.0.i386.rpm ftp://updates.redhat.com/5.2/i386/am-utils-6.0.1s11-1.5.2.i386.rpm ftp://updates.redhat.com/4.2/i386/am-utils-6.0.1s11-1.4.2.i386.rpm Alpha: ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.0/alpha/am-utils-6.0.1s11-1.6.0.alpha.rpm ftp://updates.redhat.com/5.2/alpha/am-utils-6.0.1s11-1.5.2.alpha.rpm ftp://updates.redhat.com/4.2/alpha/am-utils-6.0.1s11-1.4.2.alpha.rpm Sparc: ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.0/sparc/am-utils-6.0.1s11-1.6.0.sparc.rpm ftp://updates.redhat.com/5.2/sparc/am-utils-6.0.1s11-1.5.2.sparc.rpm ftp://updates.redhat.com/4.2/sparc/am-utils-6.0.1s11-1.4.2.sparc.rpm Source packages: ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.0/SRPMS/am-utils-6.0.1s11-1.6.0.src.rpm ftp://updates.redhat.com/5.2/SRPMS/am-utils-6.0.1s11-1.5.2.src.rpm ftp://updates.redhat.com/4.2/SRPMS/am-utils-6.0.1s11-1.4.2.src.rpm 7. Problem description: An explotable buffer overflow security problem in the amd daemon which is part of the am-utils package has been fixed. This problem is being actively exploted on the Internet and can be used to gain root access on machines running amd. Red Hat recommends anyone to upgrade to the fixed versions immediately. Thanks to Erez Zadok, the maintainer of am-utils for his assistance in resolving this problem. 8. Solution: For each RPM for your particular architecture, run: rpm -Uvh <filename> where filename is the name of the RPM. 9.
