--------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Legacy Test Update Notification FEDORALEGACY-2005-152842 Bugzilla https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=152842 2005-05-05 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : lvm Versions : rh73: lvm-1.0.3-4.1.legacy Versions : rh9: lvm-1.0.3-12.1.legacy Versions : fc1: lvm-1.0.3-13.1.legacy Summary : Linux Logical Volume Manager utilities. Description : LVM includes all of the support for handling read/write operations on physical volumes (hard disks, RAID-Systems, magneto optical, etc., multiple devices (MD), see mdadd(8) or even loop devices, see losetup(8)), creating volume groups (kind of virtual disks) from one or more physical volumes and creating one or more logical volumes (kind of logical partitions) in volume groups. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: An updated lvm package that fixes a security flaw is now available. LVM is the Linux Logical Volume Manager utilities. A vulnerability has been reported in LVM, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to perform certain actions on a vulnerable system with escalated privileges. The vulnerability is caused due to the "lvmcreate_initrd" script creating temporary files insecurely. This can be exploited via symlink attacks to overwrite arbitrary files on the system with the privileges of the user invoking the vulnerable script. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0972 to this issue. Users of lvm are advised to upgrade to this errata package, which contains a backported patch correcting this issue. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Changelogs rh73: * Sat Mar 05 2005 Marc Deslauriers <marcdeslauriers@xxxxxxxxxxxx> 1.0.3-4.1.legacy - Added security patch for CAN-2004-0972 rh9: * Sat Mar 05 2005 Marc Deslauriers <marcdeslauriers@xxxxxxxxxxxx> 1.0.3-12.1.legacy - Added security patch for CAN-2004-0972 fc1: * Sat Mar 05 2005 Marc Deslauriers <marcdeslauriers@xxxxxxxxxxxx> 1.0.3-13.1.legacy - Added patch for CAN-2004-0972 --------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be downloaded from: http://download.fedoralegacy.org/ (sha1sums) rh73: 2f33b8e68c37dea86b0059275184d366a1bffddf redhat/7.3/updates-testing/i386/lvm-1.0.3-4.1.legacy.i386.rpm a4d6f9581baf72a6facf9ae2184eddc5c22aa562 redhat/7.3/updates-testing/SRPMS/lvm-1.0.3-4.1.legacy.src.rpm rh9: 3f66e70eef52374a49d9ab4dc87ec1ada14dec32 redhat/9/updates-testing/i386/lvm-1.0.3-12.1.legacy.i386.rpm 3b852bbe5291bb43910920b51612b087bf8603aa redhat/9/updates-testing/SRPMS/lvm-1.0.3-12.1.legacy.src.rpm fc1: 9378ae503e4d43934813b93951160ed705f41cd3 fedora/1/updates-testing/i386/lvm-1.0.3-13.1.legacy.i386.rpm 0d3176879d28e673fc18158d643870b1acf367fd fedora/1/updates-testing/SRPMS/lvm-1.0.3-13.1.legacy.src.rpm --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please test and comment in bugzilla.
