OVERVIEW - -------- There is a temporary file creation vulnerability in AllCommerce which can allow an attacker to exploit a victim via a symlink attack as the 'webd' user. DETAIL - ------ Our AllCommerce packages were released with several debugging options enabled. This, unfortunately, leads to the creation of several insecure files in the /tmp directory. These files have predictable names and are thus subject to a symlink attack as the 'webd' user. Debugging is totally disabled in this update so no files should be created in /tmp. All users are urged to update to this latest package. SOLUTION - -------- All users should upgrade to the most recent version, as outlined in this advisory. Guardian Digital recently made available the Guardian Digital Secure Update, a means to proactively keep systems secure and manage system software. EnGarde users can automatically update their system using the Guardian Digital WebTool secure interface. If choosing to manually upgrade this package, updates can be obtained from: ftp://ftp.engardelinux.org/pub/engarde/stable/updates/ http://ftp.engardelinux.org/pub/engarde/stable/updates/ Before upgrading the package, the machine must either: a) be booted into a "standard" kernel; or b) have LIDS disabled. To disable LIDS, execute the command: # /sbin/lidsadm -S -- -LIDS_GLOBAL To install the updated package, execute the command: # rpm -Uvh <filename> To re-enable LIDS (if it was disabled), execute the command: # /sbin/lidsadm -S -- +LIDS_GLOBAL To verify the signature of the updated packages, execute the command: # rpm -Kv <filename> UPDATED PACKAGES - ---------------- These updated packages are for EnGarde Secure Linux 1.0.1 (Finestra).
