Security Advisory Synopsis: Updated usermode packages. Advisory ID: RHSA-2000:053-01 Issue date: 2000-08-11 Updated on: 2000-08-11 Product: Red Hat Linux Keywords: usermode shutdown Cross references: N/A --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Topic: Updated usermode packages are now available for Red Hat Linux 6.0, 6.1, and 6.2. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Linux 6.0 - i386, alpha, sparc Red Hat Linux 6.1 - i386, alpha, sparc Red Hat Linux 6.2 - i386, alpha, sparc Red Hat Linux 6.2E - i386, alpha, sparc 3. Problem description: The usermode package allows unprivileged users logged in at the system console to run the halt, poweroff, reboot, and shutdown commands without needing to know the superuser's password. While being able to halt, poweroff, and reboot is a desirable thing, an unprivileged user can also bring the system to single-user mode by running "shutdown now" with no additional flags. This update removes the "shutdown" command from the list of commands unprivileged users can run. 4. Solution: For each RPM for your particular architecture, run: rpm -Fvh [filename] where filename is the name of the RPM. 5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla for more info): 13768 - Auth dialogs show "Picture of a key" text instead of graphic 13616 - Missing icon. 12433 - /usr/sbin/userhelper not stripped 11006 - kppp either doesn't display locally or remotely 9746 - Local user can go into single mode only with shutdown now... 6. RPMs required: Red Hat Linux 6.0, 6.1, 6.2: sparc: ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.2/sparc/usermode-1.28-2.sparc.rpm alpha: ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.2/alpha/usermode-1.28-2.alpha.rpm i386: ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.2/i386/usermode-1.28-2.i386.rpm sources: ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.2/SRPMS/usermode-1.28-2.src.rpm 7.
