Linux-Mandrake Security Update Advisory
________________________________________________________________________
Package name: perl
Date: August 8th, 2000
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2000:031
Affected versions: 6.0, 6.1, 7.0, 7.1
________________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
There is a vulnerability that exists when using setuidperl together
with the mailx program. In some cases, setuidperl will warn root
that something has going on. The setuidperl program uses /bin/mail
to send the message, as root, with the environment preserved. An
undocumented feature of /bin/mail consists of it interpretting the
~! sequence even if it is not running on the terminal, and the
message also contains the script name, taken from argv[1]. With all
of this combined, it is possible to execute a command using ~!
passed in the script name to create a suid shell. The instance of
setuidperl sending such a message can only be reached if you try to
fool perl into forcing the execution of one file instead of another.
This vulnerability may not be limited to just the mailx program,
which is why an upgrade for perl
is provided as opposed to an upgrade for mailx.
________________________________________________________________________
Please verify these md5 checksums of the updates prior to upgrading
to ensure the integrity of the downloaded package. You can do this
by running the md5sum program on the downloaded package by using
"md5sum package.rpm" or by using a version of RPM greater than 3.0
with the command "rpm -K package_name". This will also check the
GnuPG signature of the package provided you have the public key as
part of your keyring (the public key is provided at the end of this
advisory).

To upgrade automatically, use MandrakeUpdate.
If you want to upgrade manually, download the updated package from one
of our FTP server mirrors and uprade with "rpm -Uvh package_name".
You can download the updates directly from:
ftp://ftp.linux.tucows.com/pub/distributions/Mandrake/Mandrake/updates
ftp://ftp.free.fr/pub/Distributions_Linux/Mandrake/updates
Or try one of the other mirrors listed at:
http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/ftp.php3.
Updated packages are available in the "updates/[ver]/RPMS/"
directory. For example, if you are looking for an updated RPM
package for Linux-Mandrake 7.1, look for it in "updates/7.1/RPMS/".
Updated source RPMs are available as well, but you generally do not
need to download them.
Please be aware that sometimes it takes the mirrors a few hours to
update, so if you want an immediate upgrade, please use one of the two
above-listed mirrors.
