Red Hat Security Advisory
Synopsis: Updated iproute packages fix local security vulnerability
Advisory ID: RHSA-2003:316-01
Issue date: 2003-11-24
Updated on: 2003-11-24
Product: Red Hat Linux
Keywords: DoS
Cross references:=20=20
Obsoletes:=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20
CVE Names: CAN-2003-0856
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Topic:
Updated iproute packages that close a locally-exploitable denial of service
vulnerability are now available.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Linux 7.1 - i386
Red Hat Linux 7.1 for iSeries (64 bit) - ppc
Red Hat Linux 7.1 for pSeries (64 bit) - ppc
Red Hat Linux 7.2 - i386, ia64
Red Hat Linux 7.3 - i386
Red Hat Linux 8.0 - i386
Red Hat Linux 9 - i386
3. Problem description:
The iproute package contains advanced IP routing and network device
configuration tools.
Herbert Xu reported that iproute can accept spoofed messages sent on the
kernel netlink interface by other users on the local machine. This could
lead to a local denial of service attack. The Common Vulnerabilities and
Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2003-0856 to
this issue.=20
=20
Users of iproute should upgrade to these erratum packages, which contain a
patch that checks that netlink messages actually came from the kernel.
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.
If up2date fails to connect to Red Hat Network due to SSL
Certificate Errors, you need to install a version of the
up2date client with an updated certificate. The latest version of
up2date is available from the Red Hat FTP site and may also be
downloaded directly from the RHN website:

These packages are GPG signed by Red Hat for security. Our key is
available from https://www.redhat.com/security/keys.html
You can verify each package with the following command:
=20=20=20=20
rpm --checksig -v <filename>
If you only wish to verify that each package has not been corrupted or
tampered with, examine only the md5sum with the following command:
=20=20=20=20
md5sum <filename>
