Red Hat, Inc. Security Advisory

Synopsis: esound contains a race condition
Advisory ID: RHSA-2000:077-03
Issue date: 2000-10-06
Updated on: 2000-10-06
Product: Red Hat Linux
Keywords: esound security esd socket Gnome
Cross references: N/A
---------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Topic:

Esound, the Gnome sound server, contains a race condition that a malicious
user could exploit to change permissions of any file owned by the esound
user.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Linux 6.0 - i386, alpha, sparc
Red Hat Linux 6.1 - i386, alpha, sparc
Red Hat Linux 6.2 - i386, alpha, sparc
Red Hat Linux 6.2EE - i386, alpha, sparc
Red Hat Linux 7.0 - i386
Red Hat Linux 7.0J - i386

3. Problem description:

Esound, the sound daemon used for Gnome, creates a world-writable
directory, /tmp/.esd. This directory is owned by the user running esound,
and is used to store a socket which is used by programs connecting to the
sound server. During startup, this socket's permissions are adjusted. An
attacker on the system can theoretically create a symbolic link, and cause
any file or directory owned by the user running esound to be made
world writable.

The new packages fixes this race condition.

4. Solution:

For each RPM for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filename]

where filename is the name of the RPM.

All active Gnome sessions should also be restarted after the upgrade is
applied.

5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla for more info):

N/A
