Description Vincent Danen 2010-09-30 17:01:12 UTC
Raphael Geissert conducted a review of various packages in Debian and found that cluster-agents contained a script that could be abused by an attacker to execute arbitrary code [1].

The vulnerability is due to an insecure change to LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and environment variable used by ld.so(8) to look for libraries in directories other than the standard paths.  When there is an empty item in the colon-separated list of directories in LD_LIBRARY_PATH, ld.so(8) treats it as a '.' (current working directory).  If the given script is executed from a directory where a local attacker could write files, there is a chance for exploitation.

In Fedora, resource-agents contains rgmanager, which has the same scripts as Debian's cluster-agents.  /usr/share/cluster/SAPDatabase and /usr/share/cluster/SAPInstance both re-set LD_LIBRARY_PATH insecurely:

# as root user we need the library path to the SAP kernel to be able to call executables
if [ `echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH | grep -c "^$DIR_EXECUTABLE\>"` -eq 0 ]; then 
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$DIR_EXECUTABLE:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
fi

A solution is to patch the scripts to properly set $LD_LIBRARY_PATH:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/foo${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH}

This issue has been assigned the name CVE-2010-3389.

Comment 1 Vincent Danen 2010-09-30 17:02:28 UTC
Created resource-agents tracking bugs for this issue

Affects: fedora-all [bug 639045]

Comment 3 Lon Hohberger 2011-01-20 19:43:17 UTC
I doublechecked that DIR_EXECUTABLE is always set to something when prior to the current resetting of LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

It is; consequently the patch, as more or less suggested, will work:

-  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$DIR_EXECUTABLE:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$DIR_EXECUTABLE${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
+  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
