-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | EnGarde Secure Linux Security Advisory November 22, 2002 | | http://www.engardelinux.org/ ESA-20021122-030 | | | | Package: kernel | | Summary: local vulnerabilities. | +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ EnGarde Secure Linux is a secure distribution of Linux that features improved access control, host and network intrusion detection, Web based secure remote management, e-commerce, and integrated open source security tools. OVERVIEW - -------- Solar Designer kindly pointed out to us that our last kernel update (ESA-20021022-026) was incomplete because 2.2.22-rc1 did not contain all the critical security fixes. This update backports the remaining fixes. This update also fixes a denial of service attack where a local user could lock the machine. All users are recommended to upgrade immediately using the special SOLUTION in this advisory. SOLUTION - -------- Users of the EnGarde Professional edition can use the Guardian Digital Secure Network to update their systems automatically. EnGarde Community users should upgrade to the most recent version as outlined in this advisory. Updates may be obtained from: ftp://ftp.engardelinux.org/pub/engarde/stable/updates/ http://ftp.engardelinux.org/pub/engarde/stable/updates/ Please read and understand this entire section before you attempt to upgrade the kernel. Initial Steps ------------- 1) Verify the machine is either: a) booted into a "standard" kernel; or b) LIDS is disabled (/sbin/lidsadm -S -- -LIDS_GLOBAL) 2) Determine which kernels you currently have installed: # rpm -qa --qf "%{NAME}\n" | grep kernel 3) Download the new kernels that match what you have installed (based on step 2) from the "UPDATED PACKAGES" section of this advisory. Installation Steps ------------------ 4) Install the new packages. The packages will automagically update /etc/lilo.conf by commenting out any old EnGarde images and replacing them with the new ones: # rpm --replacefiles -i <kernel 1> <kernel 2> ... 5) Re-run LILO. If you see any errors then open /etc/lilo.conf in your favorite text editor and make the appropriate changes: # /sbin/lilo Final Steps ----------- 6) If you did not see any LILO errors then your new kernel is now installed and your machine is ready to be rebooted: # reboot UPDATED PACKAGES - ---------------- These updated packages are for EnGarde Secure Linux Community Edition.
