Slackware-12.0 ChangeLog (2010-10-28)

Thu Oct 28 22:13:53 UTC 2010

  • patches/packages/glibc-2.5-i486-6_slack12.0.tgz
    Patched “The GNU C library dynamic linker will dlopen arbitrary DSOs
    during setuid loads.” This security issue allows a local attacker to
    gain root by specifying an unsafe DSO in the library search path to be
    used with a setuid binary in LD_AUDIT mode.
    Bug found by Tavis Ormandy (with thanks to Ben Hawkes and Julien Tinnes).
