The GNU C library defines various Unix-like "system calls" and other
|
|
basic facilities needed for a standard POSIX-like application to
|
|
operate.

|
<p>
|
|
Silvio Cesare discovered a potential information leak in glibc. It
|
|
allows LD_DEBUG on SUID binaries where it should not be allowed. This
|
|
has various security implications, which may be used to gain
|
|
confidentional information.
|
|
</p>
|
|

|
|
<impact type="low">
|
|
<p>
|
|
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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time. All users are encouraged to
|
|
upgrade to the latest available version of glibc.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All glibc users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge sync
|
|
|
|
# emerge -pv your_version
|
|
# emerge your_version</code>
|
|
</resolution>
