The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201312-01 (GNU C Library: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in GNU C Library. Please       review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A local attacker could trigger vulnerabilities in dynamic library       loader, making it possible to load attacker-controlled shared objects       during execution of setuid/setgid programs to escalate privileges.
    A context-dependent attacker could trigger various vulnerabilities in       GNU C Library, including a buffer overflow, leading to execution of       arbitrary code or a Denial of Service.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The remote VMware ESXi 5.0 host is affected by the following security vulnerabilities :

  - A security bypass vulnerability exists in the e1000     driver in the Linux kernel due to improper handling of     Ethernet frames that exceed the MTU. An unauthenticated,     remote attacker can exploit this, via trailing payload     data, to bypass packet filters. (CVE-2009-4536)

  - An error exists in the file misc/mntent_r.c that could     allow a local attacker to cause denial of service     conditions. (CVE-2010-0296)

  - An error exists related to glibc, the dynamic linker     and '$ORIGIN' substitution that could allow privilege     escalation. (CVE-2011-0536)

  - An error exists in the function 'fnmatch' in the file     posix/fnmatch.c that could allow arbitrary code     execution. (CVE-2011-1071)

  - An error exists in the file locale/programs/locale.c     related to localization environment variables that     could allow privilege escalation. (CVE-2011-1095)

  - An error exists related to glibc, the dynamic linker     and 'RPATH' that could allow privilege escalation.
    (CVE-2011-1658)

  - An error exists in the function 'fnmatch' related to     UTF-8 string handling that could allow privilege     escalation. (CVE-2011-1659)

The remote Oracle Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2011-0413 advisory.

    - Avoid too much stack use in fnmatch (#681054, CVE-2011-1071)
    - Properly quote output of locale (#625893, CVE-2011-1095)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Oracle Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote Oracle Linux 5 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2011-0412 advisory.

    - Avoid too much stack use in fnmatch (#681054, CVE-2011-1071)
    - Properly quote output of locale (#625893, CVE-2011-1095)
    - Don't leave empty element in rpath when skipping the first element,       ignore rpath elements containing non-isolated use of  when       privileged (#667974, CVE-2011-0536)
    - Fix handling of newline in addmntent (#559579, CVE-2010-0296)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Oracle Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The glibc packages contain the standard C libraries used by multiple programs on the system. These packages contain the standard C and the standard math libraries. Without these two libraries, a Linux system cannot function properly.

The fix for CVE-2010-3847 introduced a regression in the way the dynamic loader expanded the $ORIGIN dynamic string token specified in the RPATH and RUNPATH entries in the ELF library header. A local attacker could use this flaw to escalate their privileges via a setuid or setgid program using such a library. (CVE-2011-0536)

It was discovered that the glibc fnmatch() function did not properly restrict the use of alloca(). If the function was called on sufficiently large inputs, it could cause an application using fnmatch() to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the application. (CVE-2011-1071)

It was discovered that the locale command did not produce properly escaped output as required by the POSIX specification. If an attacker were able to set the locale environment variables in the environment of a script that performed shell evaluation on the output of the locale command, and that script were run with different privileges than the attacker's, it could execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the script. (CVE-2011-1095)

All users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues.

This update contains the following fixes :

  - Specially crafted input to the fnmatch function could     cause an integer overflow. (CVE-2011-1071)

  - The output of the 'locale' command was not properly     quoted. (CVE-2011-1095)

  - Don't search the current directory if $ORIGIN is in     RPATH of libraries called by setuid binaries.
    (CVE-2011-0536)

  - The update also includes fixes for non-security bugs.
    Please refer to the package changelog for details.

This update fixes the following security issues found in glibc :

  - Specially crafted input to the fnmatch function could     cause an integer overflow. (CVE-2011-1071)

  - The output of the 'locale' command was not properly     quoted. (CVE-2011-1095)

  - Unprivileged users could read the NIS shadow database.
    (CVE-2010-0015)

  - Don't search the current directory if $ORIGIN is in     RPATH of libraries called by setuid binaries.
    (CVE-2011-0536) The update also includes fixes for     non-security bugs. Please refer to the package changelog     for details.

Multiple vulnerabilities was discovered and fixed in glibc :

Multiple untrusted search path vulnerabilities in elf/dl-object.c in certain modified versions of the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6), including glibc-2.5-49.el5_5.6 and glibc-2.12-1.7.el6_0.3 in Red Hat Enterprise Linux, allow local users to gain privileges via a crafted dynamic shared object (DSO) in a subdirectory of the current working directory during execution of a (1) setuid or (2) setgid program that has in (a) RPATH or (b) RUNPATH. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incorrect fix for CVE-2010-3847 (CVE-2011-0536).

The GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.12.2 and Embedded GLIBC (EGLIBC) allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a long UTF8 string that is used in an fnmatch call, aka a stack extension attack, a related issue to CVE-2010-2898, as originally reported for use of this library by Google Chrome (CVE-2011-1071).

The addmntent function in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.13 and earlier does not report an error status for failed attempts to write to the /etc/mtab file, which makes it easier for local users to trigger corruption of this file, as demonstrated by writes from a process with a small RLIMIT_FSIZE value, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-0296 (CVE-2011-1089).

locale/programs/locale.c in locale in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.13 does not quote its output, which might allow local users to gain privileges via a crafted localization environment variable, in conjunction with a program that executes a script that uses the eval function (CVE-2011-1095).

Integer overflow in posix/fnmatch.c in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.13 and earlier allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a long UTF8 string that is used in an fnmatch call with a crafted pattern argument, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-1071 (CVE-2011-1659).

crypt_blowfish before 1.1, as used in glibc on certain platforms, does not properly handle 8-bit characters, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to determine a cleartext password by leveraging knowledge of a password hash (CVE-2011-2483).

The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

a. ESX third-party update for Service Console kernel

   This update takes the console OS kernel package to    kernel-2.6.18-238.9.1 which resolves multiple security issues.

   The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has    assigned the names CVE-2010-1083, CVE-2010-2492, CVE-2010-2798,    CVE-2010-2938, CVE-2010-2942, CVE-2010-2943, CVE-2010-3015,    CVE-2010-3066, CVE-2010-3067, CVE-2010-3078, CVE-2010-3086,    CVE-2010-3296, CVE-2010-3432, CVE-2010-3442, CVE-2010-3477,    CVE-2010-3699, CVE-2010-3858, CVE-2010-3859, CVE-2010-3865,    CVE-2010-3876, CVE-2010-3877, CVE-2010-3880, CVE-2010-3904,    CVE-2010-4072, CVE-2010-4073, CVE-2010-4075, CVE-2010-4080,    CVE-2010-4081, CVE-2010-4083, CVE-2010-4157, CVE-2010-4158,    CVE-2010-4161, CVE-2010-4238, CVE-2010-4242, CVE-2010-4243,    CVE-2010-4247, CVE-2010-4248, CVE-2010-4249, CVE-2010-4251,    CVE-2010-4255, CVE-2010-4263, CVE-2010-4343, CVE-2010-4346,    CVE-2010-4526, CVE-2010-4655, CVE-2011-0521, CVE-2011-0710,    CVE-2011-1010, CVE-2011-1090 and CVE-2011-1478 to these issues.

b. ESX third-party update for Service Console krb5 RPMs

   This patch updates the krb5-libs and krb5-workstation RPMs of the    console OS to version 1.6.1-55.el5_6.1, which resolves multiple    security issues.

   The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has    assigned the names CVE-2010-1323, CVE-2011-0281, and CVE-2011-0282    to these issues.

c. ESXi and ESX update to third-party component glibc

   The glibc third-party library is updated to resolve multiple    security issues.

   The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has    assigned the names CVE-2010-0296, CVE-2011-0536, CVE-2011-1071,    CVE-2011-1095, CVE-2011-1658, and CVE-2011-1659 to these issues.

d. ESX update to third-party drivers mptsas, mpt2sas, and mptspi

   The mptsas, mpt2sas, and mptspi drivers are updated which addresses    multiple security issues in the mpt2sas driver.

   The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has    assigned the names CVE-2011-1494 and CVE-2011-1495 to these issues.

a. Service Console update for DHCP

    The DHCP client daemon, dhclient, does not properly sanatize     certain options in DHCP server replies. An attacker could send a     specially crafted DHCP server reply, that is saved on     the client system and evaluated by a process that assumes the     option is trusted. This could lead to arbitrary code execution     with the privileges of the evaluating process.

    The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)     has assigned the name CVE-2011-0997 to this issue.

b. Service Console update for glibc

    This patch updates the glibc package for ESX service console to     glibc-2.5-58.7602.vmw. This fixes multiple security issues in     glibc, glibc-common and nscd including possible local privilege     escalation.
     The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)     has assigned the identifiers CVE-2010-0296, CVE-2011-0536,     CVE-2011-1095, CVE-2011-1071, CVE-2011-1658 and CVE-2011-1659 to     these issues.

The following bugs have been fixed :

Updated glibc packages that fix multiple security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having important security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

The glibc packages contain the standard C libraries used by multiple programs on the system. These packages contain the standard C and the standard math libraries. Without these two libraries, a Linux system cannot function properly.

It was discovered that the glibc addmntent() function did not sanitize its input properly. A local attacker could possibly use this flaw to inject malformed lines into /etc/mtab via certain setuid mount helpers, if the attacker were allowed to mount to an arbitrary directory under their control. (CVE-2010-0296)

It was discovered that the glibc fnmatch() function did not properly restrict the use of alloca(). If the function was called on sufficiently large inputs, it could cause an application using fnmatch() to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the application. (CVE-2011-1071)

If the function was called on sufficiently     large inputs, it could cause an application using fnmatch() to crash or,     possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the application.
    (CVE-2011-1071)

    It was discovered that the locale command did not produce properly escaped     output as required by the POSIX specification. If an attacker were able to     set the locale environment variables in the environment of a script that     performed shell evaluation on the output of the locale command, and that     script were run with different privileges than the attacker's, it could     execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the script. (CVE-2011-1095)

    All users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain     backported patches to correct these issues.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2011:0412 advisory.

  - glibc: Improper encoding of names with certain special character in utilities for writing to mtab table     (CVE-2010-0296)

  - glibc: CVE-2010-3847 fix causes linker to search CWD when running privileged program with $ORIGIN in     R*PATH (CVE-2011-0536)

  - glibc: fnmatch() alloca()-based memory corruption flaw (CVE-2011-1071, CVE-2011-1659)

  - glibc: insufficient quoting in the locale command output (CVE-2011-1095)

  - glibc: ld.so insecure handling of privileged programs' RPATHs with $ORIGIN (CVE-2011-1658)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

USN-1009-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the GNU C library. Colin Watson discovered that the fixes were incomplete and introduced flaws with setuid programs loading libraries that used dynamic string tokens in their RPATH. If the 'man' program was installed setuid, a local attacker could exploit this to gain 'man' user privileges, potentially leading to further privilege escalations. Default Ubuntu installations were not affected.

Tavis Ormandy discovered multiple flaws in the GNU C Library's handling of the LD_AUDIT environment variable when running a privileged binary. A local attacker could exploit this to gain root privileges. (CVE-2010-3847, CVE-2010-3856).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
