-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - --------------------------------------------------------------------- Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Low: slocate security update Advisory ID: RHSA-2005:345-02 Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2005-345.html Issue date: 2005-09-28 Updated on: 2005-09-28 Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux CVE Names: CAN-2005-2499 - --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Summary: An updated slocate package that fixes a denial of service and various bugs is now available. This update has been rated as having low security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 3 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Desktop version 3 - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64 3. Problem description: Slocate is a security-enhanced version of locate. Like locate, slocate searches through a central database (updated nightly) for files that match a given pattern. Slocate allows you to quickly find files anywhere on your system. A bug was found in the way slocate scans the local filesystem. A carefully prepared directory structure could cause updatedb's file system scan to fail silently, resulting in an incomplete slocate database. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project has assigned the name CAN-2005-2499 to this issue. Additionally this update addresses the following issues: - - Files with a size of 2 GB and larger were not entered into the slocate database. - - File system type exclusions were processed only when starting updatedb and did not reflect file systems mounted while updatedb was running (for example, automounted file systems). - - File system type exclusions were ignored for file systems that were mounted to a path containing a symbolic link. - - Databases created by slocate were owned by the slocate group even if they were created by regular users. Users of slocate are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which contains backported patches and is not affected by 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: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/ 5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/): 132571 - Files > 2 GB are not entered into slocate data base 139950 - slocate collects .automount files over nfs 169453 - CAN-2005-2499 slocate DOS 6.
