Título:	Conectiva Security Advisory CLA-2003:762
Resumen:	NOSUMMARY
Descripción:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory CLA-2003:762. The GNU C Library (glibc)[1] is the standard library used by almost any program in a common GNU/Linux system. This glibc update includes the fix for a local vulnerability and new timezone maps adjusted for the brazilian daylight saving time 2003/2004 schedule: - Local vulnerability in the getgrouplist() function. There is a buffer overflow in the getgrouplist() which can be triggered when an user belongs to a number of groups larger than the one expected by the application. The consequences of the exploitation of this vulnerability vary accordingly to the application being exploited and the scenario where it is running. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2003-0689 to this issue[2]. - Brazilian daylight saving time (summer time) update. On September 24th, 2003 the dates when daylight saving time will begin and end have finally been published[3] (less than 30 days of advance notice). These dates have been inserted in the zoneinfo data of glibc. Historically the dates on which the daylight saving time starts and ends have always been chosen from year to year and are seldom the same. The packages for Conectiva Linux 9 include the latest stable version of glibc (2.3.2), which includes several bugfixes and enhancements when compared to the originally distributed version (2.3.1). The details of these changes can be obtained in the project page[4]. Conectiva Linux 7.0 is not subject to the getgroupslist() vulnerability and will have a separate update for the daylight saving time issue available in our updates page[5]. Solution: The apt tool can be used to perform RPM package upgrades by running 'apt-get update' followed by 'apt-get upgrade' http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/ http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2003-0689 http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/#CurrentStatus http://distro.conectiva.com.br/atualizacoes/index.php?id=d&distro=000014 https://secure1.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=CLA-2003:762 http://distro.conectiva.com.br/atualizacoes/index.php?id=a&anuncio=002003 Risk factor : High CVSS Score: 7.5
