Re: cron job madness
by Rick Graves 07 Jul '04

Hey, > check-update sounds better than putting yum update in a cron job. Only a mad man would do that! Are the cAos and CentOS releases THAT BAD? > Much better to run a daily cron which rsyncs your local patch repository. So must one have your own local repository to avoid being labeled as a madman? In which one of the RedHad reference books can I find this? Just curious. Rick

[RHSA-2004:360-01] Updated kernel packages fix security vulnerabilities (fwd)
by Ryan Sweet 02 Jul '04

02 Jul '04

OK, this is the first important vuln I've seen since joining the centos list, and represents a good opportunity to ask "What happens now?" Do you accept contributed rebuilds? What is the rebuild/test/release procedure? Is there anyone who is tracking time between RH releases and centos yum repo updates? What can I do to help? thanks, -ryan -- Ryan Sweet <ryan.sweet(a)aoes.com> Advanced Operations and Engineering Services AOES Group BV http://www.aoes.com Phone +31(0)71 5795521 Fax +31(0)71572 1277 ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri, 2 Jul 2004 04:23 -0400 From: bugzilla(a)redhat.com To: enterprise-watch-list(a)redhat.com Subject: [RHSA-2004:360-01] Updated kernel packages fix security vulnerabilities -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - --------------------------------------------------------------------- Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Updated kernel packages fix security vulnerabilities Advisory ID: RHSA-2004:360-01 Issue date: 2004-07-02 Updated on: 2004-07-02 Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Keywords: taroon kernel security errata Cross references: Obsoletes: RHSA-2004:255 CVE Names: CAN-2004-0497 - --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Topic: Updated kernel packages that fix a security vulnerability affecting the kernel nfs server for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 are now available. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 3 - athlon, i386, i686, ia32e, ia64, ppc64, ppc64iseries, ppc64pseries, s390, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 3 - athlon, i386, i686, ia32e, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 3 - athlon, i386, i686, ia32e, ia64, x86_64 3. Problem description: The Linux kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system. During an audit of the Linux kernel, SUSE discovered a flaw that allowed a user to make unauthorized changes to the group ID of files in certain circumstances. In the 2.4 kernel, as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the only way this could happen is through the kernel nfs server. A user on a system that mounted a remote file system from a vulnerable machine may be able to make unauthorized changes to the group ID of exported files. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0497 to this issue. Only Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems that are configured to share file systems via NFS are affected by this issue. All Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 users are advised to upgrade their kernels to the packages associated with their machine architectures and configurations as listed in this erratum. 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: https://rhn.redhat.com/help/latest-up2date.pxt 5.

Diff files to be made publicly available.

I plan to highlight the differences between RHEL and CentOS 3.1. Making this information clearly available without the need for duplicated effort across the world. This will help others take CentOS in different directions benefiting us all. It will help individuals create new projects more easily and efficiently. Are the diff files readily available, can I download them from anywhere? If the diff files were made available with each update, the community would understand more, less questions and confusion would occur. More scrutiny would result in a better product for us all. RHEL takes open source software and closes it. CentOS takes this closed software and reopens it. By making the changes open to public inspection, CentOS would become 100% open source. I have no wish to waste months of effort duplicating your work, even if I write scripts to automate the task. I can host the files on a server if you have no wish to do so at caosity. Alternatively I could do this work for you. Kevin Wood Open source, open mind.

Kernel packages and 3rd party kernel modules
by Dag Wieers 27 Jun '04

27 Jun '04

Hi, I'd like to come back to this topic. We've discussed this before on IRC but there's still no acceptable solution implemented. 3rd party kernel-modules are build against the official Red Hat kernels, to make them work with the TaoLinux/CentOS kernels there are specific requirements: + kernel RPM package should provide the same version/release + kernel version/release should be the same for o /lib/modules/kernel-version-release o /boot/vmlinuz-version-release This means there's not much room for customization if you want 3rd party modules to work. You can have a different version in the RPM as long as the Red Hat version/release is also provided by the package and the kernel-files/directories have the exact version/release. To give you a better understanding of the pitfalls: | Installing a kernel-module, beware that I already do not require an | exact version for the kernel RPM package, because that has other | problems. Still I need to make sure I have an exact kernel and that's | why we use the vmlinuz file. [root@breeg root]# rpm -ihvU kernel-module-openswan-2.4.21-15.0.2.EL-2.1.2-1.1.el3.dag.i586.rpm error: Failed dependencies: /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.21-15.0.2.EL is needed by kernel-module-openswan-2.4.21-15.0.2.EL-2.1.2-1.1.el3.dag | Loading a module (I --nodeps installed the module), gives the following | warning. Beware that the module is placed in | /lib/modules/version-release which is different currently than the one | from TaoLinux. So people can't just do "modprobe ipsec": [root@breeg modules]# insmod /lib/modules/2.4.21-15.0.2.EL/kernel/net/openswan/ipsec.o Warning: kernel-module version mismatch 2.4.21-15.0.2.EL/kernel/net/openswan/ipsec.o was compiled for kernel version 2.4.21-15.0.2.EL while this kernel is version 2.4.21-15.TL2 Warning: loading 2.4.21-15.0.2.EL/kernel/net/openswan/ipsec.o will taint the kernel: forced load See http://www.tux.org/lkml/#export-tainted for information about tainted modules Module ipsec loaded, with warnings Although I can make it work like this, this is far from optimal and for other 3rd party kernel modules this isn't even guaranteed to work. PS I tried with a CentOS kernel, but I can't seem to find a i586 kernel on the website. -- dag wieers, dag(a)wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors]
