RHSA-2011:0414-01 -- Redhat policycoreutils and selinux-policy

ID: oval:org.secpod.oval:def:500230Date: (C)2012-01-31   (M)2023-02-20
Class: PATCHFamily: unix




The policycoreutils packages contain the core utilities that are required for the basic operation of a Security-Enhanced Linux system and its policies. It was discovered that the seunshare utility did not enforce proper file permissions on the directory used as an alternate temporary directory mounted as /tmp/. A local user could use this flaw to overwrite files or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of a setuid or setgid application that relies on proper /tmp/ permissions, by running that application via seunshare. Red Hat would like to thank Tavis Ormandy for reporting this issue. This update also introduces the following changes: * The seunshare utility was moved from the main policycoreutils subpackage to the policycoreutils-sandbox subpackage. This utility is only required by the sandbox feature and does not need to be installed by default. * Updated selinux-policy packages that add the SELinux policy changes required by the seunshare fixes. All policycoreutils users should upgrade to these updated packages, which correct this issue.
