Rating: moderate
References: #724490 #806919 #806921 #817349 #817350
Affected Products:
  • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP3 LTSS

  • An update that solves four vulnerabilities and has one errata is now available.

    Description:


    This LTSS rollup update fixes the following security issues
    which allowed to bypass the sudo authentication:

    *

    CVE-2013-1775: sudo allowed local users or
    physically-proximate attackers to bypass intended time
    restrictions and retain privileges without
    re-authenticating by setting the system clock and sudo user
    timestamp to the epoch.

    *

    CVE-2013-1776: sudo, when the tty_tickets option is
    enabled, did not properly validate the controlling terminal
    device, which allowed local users with sudo permissions to
    hijack the authorization of another terminal via vectors
    related to connecting to a standard input, output, and
    error file descriptors of another terminal.

    *

    CVE-2013-2776: sudo, when running on systems without
    /proc or the sysctl function with the tty_tickets option
    enabled, did not properly validate the controlling terminal
    device, which allowed local users with sudo permissions to
    hijack the authorization of another terminal via vectors
    related to connecting to a standard input, output, and
    error file descriptors of another terminal.

    *

    CVE-2013-2777: sudo, when the tty_tickets option is
    enabled, did not properly validate the controlling terminal
    device, which allowed local users with sudo permissions to
    hijack the authorization of another terminal via vectors
    related to a session without a controlling terminal device
    and connecting to a standard input, output, and error file
    descriptors of another terminal.

    Also a non-security bug was fixed:

    * escape string passed to ldap search (bnc#724490)
