Red Hat Security Advisory

 

Synopsis: Low: trousers security, bug fix, and enhancement update

Advisory ID: RHSA-2014:1507-02

Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2014-1507.html

Issue date: 2014-10-14

CVE Names: CVE-2012-0698

=====================================================================

 

1. Summary:

 

Updated trousers packages that fix one security issue, several bugs, and

add various enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

 

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Low security

impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which

gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the

References section.

 

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

 

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 6) - i386, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop Optional (v. 6) - i386, x86_64

3. Description:

 

TrouSerS is an implementation of the Trusted Computing Group's Software

Stack (TSS) specification. You can use TrouSerS to write applications that

make use of your TPM hardware. TPM hardware can create, store and use RSA

keys securely (without ever being exposed in memory), verify a platform's

software state using cryptographic hashes and more.

 

A flaw was found in the way tcsd, the daemon that manages Trusted Computing

resources, processed incoming TCP packets. A remote attacker could send a

specially crafted TCP packet that, when processed by tcsd, could cause the

daemon to crash. Note that by default tcsd accepts requests on localhost

only. (CVE-2012-0698)

 

Red Hat would like to thank Andrew Lutomirski for reporting this issue.

 

The trousers package has been upgraded to upstream version 0.3.13, which

provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version,

including corrected internal symbol names to avoid collisions with other

applications, fixed memory leaks, added IPv6 support, fixed buffer handling

in tcsd, as well as changed the license to BSD. (BZ#633584, BZ#1074634)

 

All trousers users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which

correct these issues and add these enhancements.

 

4. Solution:

 

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata

relevant to your system have been applied.

 

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the
