-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 _______________________________________________________________________ Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2008:208-1 http://www.mandriva.com/security/ _______________________________________________________________________ Package : pam_mount Date : October 18, 2008 Affected: 2008.1 _______________________________________________________________________ Problem Description: pam_mount 0.10 through 0.45, when luserconf is enabled, does not verify mountpoint and source ownership before mounting a user-defined volume, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions via a local mount. The updated packages have been patched to fix the issue. Update: The fix for CVE-2008-3970 uncovered crashes in the code handling the 'allow', 'deny', and 'require' options in pam_mount-0.33, released for Mandriva Linux 2008 Spring. Also, the verification of the allowed mount options ('allow' configuration directive) was inverted in pam_mount-0.33. This update fixes these issues. _______________________________________________________________________ References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-3970 https://qa.mandriva.com/44694 _______________________________________________________________________ Updated Packages: Mandriva Linux 2008.1: f57f019d59c0bf8a326b6f1259d46b82 2008.1/i586/pam_mount-0.33-2.3mdv2008.1.i586.rpm afc9d31b5a180beaddf715b64e70ce22 2008.1/SRPMS/pam_mount-0.33-2.3mdv2008.1.src.rpm Mandriva Linux 2008.1/X86_64: 987c215769eea4ecbc860b7eec68cca4 2008.1/x86_64/pam_mount-0.33-2.3mdv2008.1.x86_64.rpm afc9d31b5a180beaddf715b64e70ce22 2008.1/SRPMS/pam_mount-0.33-2.3mdv2008.1.src.rpm _______________________________________________________________________ To upgrade automatically use MandrivaUpdate or urpmi.
