Subject: [grsec] grsecurity 2.1.3 released for 2.4.29/2.6.11 *CRITICAL UPDATE FOR RBAC USERS*

grsecurity 2.1.3 has been released to fix a number of problems found

during a routine audit of grsecurity. Changes in this release include

allowed gradm -u for non-root users in a no-authentication special role,

addition of a missing ptrace hook on amd64, fixed hidden file check that

takes subject inheritance into account, unification of the mmap hook so

it no longer requires a per-arch component, and the breakup of the "O"

subject flag into "O" and "t", where "O" now means to allow writable

library loads for the process, while "t" allows a process to ptrace any

task. The "t" mode should be used sparingly in combination with the

no-ptrace object flag. A bug in PaX that causes a SIGBUS in a task when

SEGMEXEC is enabled but MPROTECT is disabled has been fixed in this

release as well.

During the audit, a critical vulnerability was found in the RBAC system

that effectively gave every subject the "O" flag, allowing a root user

for instance to gain the privileges of any other process through

LD_PRELOAD or ptrace. If you have already upgraded to 2.1.2 and use the

RBAC system, I strongly urge you to upgrade to 2.1.3. To ensure that

problems like this won't occur in the future, I will be developing an

extensive regression test suite for the RBAC system similar to the one

that exists already for non-RBAC features.

Sorry about the timing of this release, but the vuln I discovered is

quite serious, and I'm hoping to catch the people who haven't updated

their machines to 2.1.2 yet due to it being released over the weekend.

Lehet át kellene tenni a biztonság kategóriába a hírt, mert ez is biztonsági kiadás, root probléma miatt (Brad elég súlyosnak itéli meg). Plusz aki nem tud angolul, annak annyit, hogy más talán fontosabb javítás is történt, meg egy PaX hibáé is, amely a programok összeomlását okozhatja, ha a SEGMEXEC engedélyezve, de az MPROTECT tíltva van.

Plusz megjegyzés, hogy a gradm2-ből a 2.1.3-as kiadás ajánlott hozzá.
