Date: Wed, 18 Aug 2004 08:41:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040818084135.GA6931@suse.de> (raw)
Hi,
Gentoo has issued an advisory:
http://www.gentoo.org/security/en/glsa/glsa-200408-16.xml
"An attacker can gain the list of symbols a SUID application uses and their
locations and can then use a trojaned library taking precendence over those
symbols to gain information or perform further exploitation."
with the following patch:
http://www.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/sys-libs/glibc/files/glibc-sec-hotfix-20040804.patch?rev=1.1&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup
Does somebody knows more about this?
Thorsten
