Security Advisory Synopsis: Format string exploit in screen Advisory ID: RHSA-2000:058-03 Issue date: 2000-09-07 Updated on: 2000-09-07 Product: Red Hat Linux Keywords: screen exploit format Cross references: N/A --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Topic: Security hole in screen in Red Hat Linux 5.2 and earlier releases 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Linux 5.2 - i386, i586, i686, alpha, sparc, sparc64, sparcv9 3. Problem description: Screen allows the user to overload the visual bell with a text message that can be set by the user. This text message is handled as a format string, instead of as a pure string, so maliciously written format strings are allowed to overwrite the stack. Since screen in Red Hat Linux 5.2 and earlier releases was setuid root, this security hole could be exploited to gain a root shell. 4. Solution: For each RPM for your particular architecture, run: rpm -Fvh [filename] where filename is the name of the RPM. 5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla for more info): N/A 6. RPMs required: Red Hat Linux 5.2: sparc: ftp://updates.redhat.com/5.2/sparc/screen-3.7.4-4.sparc.rpm alpha: ftp://updates.redhat.com/5.2/alpha/screen-3.7.4-4.alpha.rpm i386: ftp://updates.redhat.com/5.2/i386/screen-3.7.4-4.i386.rpm sources: ftp://updates.redhat.com/5.2/SRPMS/screen-3.7.4-4.src.rpm 7.
