From: bugzilla@redhat.com To: redhat-watch-list@redhat.com Subject: [RHBA-2001:149-14] Updated pam and usermode packages available Date: Wed, 14 Nov 2001 17:52 -0500 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Red Hat, Inc. Red Hat Bug Fix Advisory Synopsis: Updated pam and usermode packages available Advisory ID: RHBA-2001:149-14 Issue date: 2001-11-02 Updated on: 2001-11-14 Product: Red Hat Linux Keywords: pam xauthority Cross references: Obsoletes: RHBA-2001:127 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Topic: Updated pam and usermode packages are now available for Red Hat Linux 7, 7.1, and 7.2. These updates fix a bug which would prevent X authorization records from being correctly propagated to programs run using the userhelper setuid helper program. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Linux 7.1 - alpha, i386, ia64 Red Hat Linux 7.2 - i386 3. Problem description: After setting the XAUTHORITY environment variable, the pam_xauth module would incorrectly free the space used to hold the variable's value, allowing it to be unintentionally modified when the space was later reused in the calling program. The userhelper binary did not properly pass environment variables set by PAM modules on to programs it ran. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied. To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run: rpm -Fvh [filenames] where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the desired RPMs. Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system. 5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla for more info): 55651 - Broken link in pam-devel update 52321 - pam-devel doesn't contain libpam.a 15528 - console.perms doesnt include any usb stuff 49613 - Password validation on forced password change 43706 - pam_unix does not preserve file permissions 39247 - pam_securetty barfs if PAM_TTY not set 36864 - pam_access not compiled with NIS netgroup support 16505 - horrible italian description 6.
