    Package : glibc, eglibc
    Vulnerability : multiple
    Problem type : remote (local)
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE Id(s) : CVE-2008-1391 CVE-2009-4880, CVE-2009-4881
    CVE-2010-0296 CVE-2010-0830
    Debian Bug : 583908

    Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the GNU C Library (aka
    glibc) and its derivatives. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
    project identifies the following problems:


    CVE-2008-1391, CVE-2009-4880, CVE-2009-4881

    Maksymilian Arciemowicz discovered that the GNU C library did not
    correctly handle integer overflows in the strfmon family of
    functions. If a user or automated system were tricked into
    processing a specially crafted format string, a remote attacker
    could crash applications, leading to a denial of service.


    CVE-2010-0296

    Jeff Layton and Dan Rosenberg discovered that the GNU C library did
    not correctly handle newlines in the mntent family of functions. If
    a local attacker were able to inject newlines into a mount entry
    through other vulnerable mount helpers, they could disrupt the
    system or possibly gain root privileges.


    CVE-2010-0830

    Dan Rosenberg discovered that the GNU C library did not correctly
    validate certain ELF program headers. If a user or automated system
    were tricked into verifying a specially crafted ELF program, a
    remote attacker could execute arbitrary code with user privileges.

    For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in
    version 2.7-18lenny4 of the glibc package.

    For the testing distribution (squeeze), these problems will be fixed soon.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems has been fixed in
    version 2.1.11-1 of the eglibc package.

    We recommend that you upgrade your glibc or eglibc packages.

    Upgrade instructions
    - --------------------

    wget url
    will fetch the file for you
    dpkg -i file.deb
    will install the referenced file.

    If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
    sources.list as given below:

    apt-get update
    will update the internal database
    apt-get upgrade
    will install corrected packages

    You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
    footer to the proper configuration.
