| EnGarde Secure Linux Security Advisory November 27, 2002 |
| http://www.engardelinux.org/ ESA-20021127-032 |
| |
| Package: pine |
| Summary: Version upgrade, security fixes. |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
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
- --------
This update upgrades Pine from version 4.33 to version 4.50. Pine
4.50 includes many bug fixes and new features such as threading
support and rule pattern enhancements.
This update also fixes some security issues, in particular a buffer
overflow when parsing certain "From:" addresses. A malicious user
could send a message with a specially crafted "From:" address and
cause a segmentation fault on the client. Pine 4.50 fixes this
vulnerability (CAN-2002-1320) and several others.
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
