-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 _______________________________________________________________________ Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2013:096 http://www.mandriva.com/en/support/security/ _______________________________________________________________________ Package : keepalived Date : April 10, 2013 Affected: Business Server 1.0 _______________________________________________________________________ Problem Description: Updated keepalived package fixes security vulnerability: The pidfile_write function in core/pidfile.c in keepalived 1.2.2 and earlier uses 0666 permissions for the (1) keepalived.pid, (2) checkers.pid, and (3) vrrp.pid files in /var/run/, which allows local users to kill arbitrary processes by writing a PID to one of these files (CVE-2011-1784). A security issue due to syslog being used inside of sighandlers has also been fixed. Finally, keepalived was failing to load the ip_vs kernel module because of an incorrect modprobe option. This has also been corrected. _______________________________________________________________________ References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2011-1784 https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Support/Advisories/MGASA-2012-0188 _______________________________________________________________________ Updated Packages: Mandriva Business Server 1/X86_64: 43f8ed4c37d9fe36333144910b156756 mbs1/x86_64/keepalived-1.2.2-2.1.mbs1.x86_64.rpm 469ea55f6172a4bd36202dcd33203765 mbs1/SRPMS/keepalived-1.2.2-2.1.mbs1.src.rpm _______________________________________________________________________ To upgrade automatically use MandrivaUpdate or urpmi.
