-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 _______________________________________________________________________ Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2014:214 http://www.mandriva.com/en/support/security/ _______________________________________________________________________ Package : dbus Date : November 18, 2014 Affected: Business Server 1.0 _______________________________________________________________________ Problem Description: Updated dbus packages fixes the following security issues: Alban Crequy and Simon McVittie discovered several vulnerabilities in the D-Bus message daemon: On 64-bit platforms, file descriptor passing could be abused by local users to cause heap corruption in dbus-daemon, leading to a crash, or potentially to arbitrary code execution (CVE-2014-3635). A denial-of-service vulnerability in dbus-daemon allowed local attackers to prevent new connections to dbus-daemon, or disconnect existing clients, by exhausting descriptor limits (CVE-2014-3636). Malicious local users could create D-Bus connections to dbus-daemon which could not be terminated by killing the participating processes, resulting in a denial-of-service vulnerability (CVE-2014-3637). dbus-daemon suffered from a denial-of-service vulnerability in the code which tracks which messages expect a reply, allowing local attackers to reduce the performance of dbus-daemon (CVE-2014-3638). dbus-daemon did not properly reject malicious connections from local users, resulting in a denial-of-service vulnerability (CVE-2014-3639). The patch issued by the D-Bus maintainers for CVE-2014-3636 was based on incorrect reasoning, and does not fully prevent the attack described as CVE-2014-3636 part A, which is repeated below. Preventing that attack requires raising the system dbus-daemon's RLIMIT_NOFILE (ulimit -n) to a higher value. By queuing up the maximum allowed number of fds, a malicious sender could reach the system dbus-daemon's RLIMIT_NOFILE (ulimit -n, typically 1024 on Linux). This would act as a denial of service in two ways: * new clients would be unable to connect to the dbus-daemon * when receiving a subsequent message from a non-malicious client that contained a fd, dbus-daemon would receive the MSG_CTRUNC flag, indicating that the list of fds was truncated; kernel fd-passing APIs do not provide any way to recover from that, so dbus-daemon responds to MSG_CTRUNC by disconnecting the sender, causing denial of service to that sender. This update also resolves the CVE-2014-7824 security vulnerability. _______________________________________________________________________ References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-3635 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-3636 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-3637 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-3638 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-3639 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-7824 http://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2014-0395.html http://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2014-0457.html _______________________________________________________________________ Updated Packages: Mandriva Business Server 1/X86_64: 4baf3a4a62888fd38df305801d830866 mbs1/x86_64/dbus-1.4.16-7.5.mbs1.x86_64.rpm 8f564fedf6130d7efb4366961997f5a3 mbs1/x86_64/dbus-doc-1.4.16-7.5.mbs1.x86_64.rpm 2c8649da902067e15e6beab1c7e88c03 mbs1/x86_64/dbus-x11-1.4.16-7.5.mbs1.x86_64.rpm 3c692ce18b78e8e78fe584153f4d4213 mbs1/x86_64/lib64dbus-1_3-1.4.16-7.5.mbs1.x86_64.rpm e8a63a7374bc712eab162411385f6cff mbs1/x86_64/lib64dbus-1-devel-1.4.16-7.5.mbs1.x86_64.rpm d4d7bf9935b24ebb1b64a136b6c6acfd mbs1/SRPMS/dbus-1.4.16-7.5.mbs1.src.rpm _______________________________________________________________________ To upgrade automatically use MandrivaUpdate or urpmi.
