TurboLinux Security Announcement
Package: mtr-0.41 and earlier
Date: Wed Mar 8 14:54:54 PST 2000
Affected TurboLinux versions: TurboLinux 6.0.2 and earlier
Vulnerability Type: Local root compromise
TurboLinux Advisory ID#: TLSA2000003-1
Credits: This vulnerability was posted to the Bugtraq mailing
list
on March 3, 2000 by Viktor Fougstedt
<viktor@DTEK.CHALMERS.SE>.
______________________________________________________________________________
A security hole was discovered in the package mentioned above.
Please update the package in your installation as soon as possible or
disable the service.
_____________________________________________________________________________
1. Problem Summary
Older versions of mtr did not properly drop root privileges. From
Viktor's original posting: "Mtr only does a seteuid(), and not a
full setuid() when attempting to drop root privs. Seteuid() _only_
affects the effective uid of the process, and the saved uid is
therefore still 0 after this call. When a process has saved uid 0, it
may issue a setuid(0) to regain full root privileges (i.e. real and
effective uid 0)."
2. Impact
A malicious user could take control over mtr (perhaps through gtk
or curses) and can then execute arbitrary code as root.
3. Solution
Update the package from our ftp server by running the following
command:
rpm -Uv ftp_path_to_filename
Where ftp_path_to_filename is the following:
ftp://ftp.turbolinux.com/pub/updates/6.0/security/mtr-0.42-1.i386.rpm
The source rpm can be downloaded here:
ftp://ftp.turbolinux.com/pub/updates/6.0/SRPMS/mtr-0.42-1.src.rpm
**Note: You must rebuild and install the rpm if you choose to
download and install the srpm. Simply installing the srpm alone WILL
NOT CLOSE THE SECURITY HOLE.
Please verify the md5 checksum of the update before you install:
