                Linux-Mandrake Security Update Advisory
________________________________________________________________________

Package name:		glibc
Date:			January 18th, 2001
Advisory ID:		MDKSA-2001:012

Affected versions:	6.0, 6.1, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, Corporate Server 1.0.1
________________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

 The LD_PRELOAD variable in the GNU C Library is honoured normally
 even for SUID/SGID applications (but removed afterwards from the
 environment) if it does not contain '/' characters.  There is a
 special check which only preloads found libraries if they have the
 SUID bit set.  However, if a library has been found in
 /etc/ld.so.cache, this check was not performed.  As a result, a
 malicious user could preload some library located in /lib or /usr/lib
 before SUID/SGID applications and create or overwrite a file he would
 not normally have permission to.  As well, LD_PROFILE output from SUID
 programs would go into /var/tmp, making it vulnerable to various link
 attacks.

Please verify the update prior to upgrading to ensure the integrity of
the downloaded package.  You can do this with the command:
  rpm --checksig package.rpm
You can get the GPG public key of the Linux-Mandrake Security Team at
  http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/security/RPM-GPG-KEYS
If you use MandrakeUpdate, the verification of md5 checksum and GPG
signature is performed automatically for you.

To upgrade automatically, use MandrakeUpdate.

If you want to upgrade manually, download the updated package from one
of our FTP server mirrors and upgrade with "rpm -Fvh *.rpm".

You can download the updates directly from one of the mirror sites
listed at:

  http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/ftp.php3.

Updated packages are available in the "updates/[ver]/RPMS/" directory.
For example, if you are looking for an updated RPM package for
Linux-Mandrake 7.2, look for it in "updates/7.2/RPMS/".  Updated source
RPMs are available as well, but you generally do not need to download
them.

Please be aware that sometimes it takes the mirrors a few hours to
update.
