Linux-Mandrake Security Update Advisory
________________________________________________________________________
Package name: pam
Date: August 1st, 2000
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2000:029
Affected versions: 6.0, 6.1, 7.0, 7.1
________________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
There is a problem with the pam_console module that incorrectly
identifies remote X logins for displays other than :0 (for example, :1,
:2, etc.) as being local displays, thus giving control of the console
to the remote user. Because the remote user has control of the console
they are able to issue commands to reboot the remote system after
providing their password. Please note that this vulnerability is only
exploitable if the system is running a graphical login manager like
gdm, kdm, or xdm and if XDMCP is enabled and remote access is granted.
Users are highly recommended to upgrade to this version which fixes the
exploit (thanks to RedHat).
________________________________________________________________________
Please verify these md5 checksums of the updates prior to upgrading to
ensure the integrity of the downloaded package. You can do this by
running the md5sum program on the downloaded package by using
"md5sum package.rpm".

To upgrade automatically, use « MandrakeUpdate ».
If you want to upgrade manually, download the updated package from one
of our FTP server mirrors and uprade with "rpm -Uvh package_name".
You can download the updates directly from:
ftp://ftp.linux.tucows.com/pub/distributions/Mandrake/Mandrake/updates
ftp://ftp.free.fr/pub/Distributions_Linux/Mandrake/updates
Or try one of the other mirrors 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 7.1, look for it in "updates/7.1/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, so if you want an immediate upgrade, please use one of the two
above-listed mirrors.
