                   Red Hat, Inc. Security Advisory

Synopsis:          ypbind for Red Hat Linux 5.x, 6.x has a local root exploit
Advisory ID:       RHSA-2000:086-05
Issue date:        2000-10-16
Updated on:        2000-10-23
Product:           Red Hat Linux
Keywords:          ypbind string format buffer overflow syslog
Cross references:  N/A
---------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Topic:

ypbind as shipped in Red Hat Linux 5.x and 6.x is vulnerable to a
local root exploit.  All systems making use of NIS services are
encouraged to upgrade.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Linux 5.0 - i386, alpha, sparc
Red Hat Linux 5.1 - i386, alpha, sparc
Red Hat Linux 5.2 - i386, alpha, sparc
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 6.2EE - i386, alpha, sparc

3. Problem description:

Systems using Network Information Service, or NIS, use a daemon
called ypbind to request information from a NIS server.  This
information is then used by the local machine. The logging code in
ypbind is vulnerable to a printf string format attack which an
attacker could exploit by passing ypbind a carefully crafted
request. This attack can successfully lead to local root access.

This problem has been corrected with these new packages.

4. Solution:

If you do not use NIS, you should remove ypbind:

rpm -e ypbind

Otherwise, for each RPM for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filename]

where filename is the name of the RPM.

You should then make sure that the new ypbind is running by issuing:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/ypbind restart

5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla for more info):

tampered with, examine only the md5sum with the following command:
    rpm --checksig --nogpg <filename>

As of 10/23 6pm CDT, these rpms are absent.  This will probably incite
panic in the minds of admins using ypbind on 5.x boxen.  This is not a
Good Thing (tm).
