| EnGarde Secure Linux Security Advisory March 7, 2003 |
| http://www.engardelinux.org/ ESA-20030307-007 |
| |
| Package: snort |
| Summary: RPC preprocessor buffer overflow. |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
EnGarde Secure Linux is a secure distribution of Linux that
features improved access control, host and network intrusion
detection, Web based secure remote management, e-commerce, and
integrated open source security tools.
OVERVIEW
- --------
Recently ISS X-Force discovered a buffer overflow vulnerability in the
RPC preprocessor of the snort IDS system. A remote attacker could send
fragmented RPC records and cause snort to execute arbitrary code as the
snort user.
To fix this vulnerability we have upgraded snort to the latest
stable version (1.9.1). All users are recommended to upgrade as
soon as possible.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
assigned the name CAN-2003-0033 to this issue.
SOLUTION
- --------
Users of the EnGarde Professional edition can use the Guardian Digital
Secure Network to update their systems automatically.
EnGarde Community users should upgrade to the most recent version
as outlined in this advisory. Updates may 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 files
You must now update the LIDS configuration by executing the command:
# /usr/sbin/config_lids.pl
To re-enable LIDS (if it was disabled), execute the command:
# /sbin/lidsadm -S -- +LIDS_GLOBAL
To verify the signatures of the updated packages, execute the
command:
# rpm -Kv files
