RHSA-2015:0101 - Security Advisory
Synopsis
Critical: glibc security update
Type/Severity
Security Advisory: Critical
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated glibc packages that fix one security issue are now available for
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Extended Life Cycle Support.
Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Critical security
impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which
gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the
References section.
Description
The glibc packages provide the standard C libraries (libc), POSIX thread
libraries (libpthread), standard math libraries (libm), and the Name
Server Caching Daemon (nscd) used by multiple programs on the system.
Without these libraries, the Linux system cannot function correctly.
A heap-based buffer overflow was found in glibc's
__nss_hostname_digits_dots() function, which is used by the gethostbyname()
and gethostbyname2() glibc function calls. A remote attacker able to make
an application call either of these functions could use this flaw to
execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running the
application. (CVE-2015-0235)
Red Hat would like to thank Qualys for reporting this issue.
All glibc users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain a backported patch to correct this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the
Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
