                   Red Hat Security Advisory

Synopsis:          Updated nfs-utils package fixes security vulnerabilities
Advisory ID:       RHSA-2005:014-01
Advisory URL:      https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2005-014.html
Issue date:        2005-01-12
Updated on:        2005-01-12
Product:           Red Hat Enterprise Linux
CVE Names:         CAN-2004-1014 CAN-2004-0946
- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Summary:

An updated nfs-utils package that fixes various security issues is now
available.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (Advanced Server) version 2.1 - i386, ia64
Red Hat Linux Advanced Workstation 2.1 - ia64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 2.1 - i386
Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 2.1 - i386

3. Problem description:

The nfs-utils package provides a daemon for the kernel NFS server and
related tools.

SGI reported that the statd daemon did not properly handle the SIGPIPE
signal.  A misconfigured or malicious peer could cause statd to crash,
leading to a denial of service.  The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-1014 to this issue.

Arjan van de Ven discovered a buffer overflow in rquotad.  On 64-bit
architectures, an improper integer conversion can lead to a buffer
overflow.  An attacker with access to an NFS share could send a specially
crafted request which could lead to the execution of arbitrary code.  The
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned
the name CAN-2004-0946 to this issue.

All users of nfs-utils should upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves these issues.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.  Use Red Hat
Network to download and update your packages.  To launch the Red Hat
Update Agent, use the following command:

    up2date

For information on how to install packages manually, refer to the
following Web page for the System Administration or Customization
guide specific to your system:

144652 - CAN-2004-1014 DoS in statd
138063 - CAN-2004-0946 buffer overflow in rquotad
