Red Hat Security Advisory
Synopsis: Moderate: libgtop2 security update
Advisory ID: RHSA-2007:0765-01
Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2007-0765.html
Issue date: 2007-08-07
Updated on: 2007-08-07
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
CVE Names: CVE-2007-0235
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Summary:
An updated libgtop2 package that fixes a security issue and a functionality
bug is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.
This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop version 4 - i386, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64
3. Problem description:
The libgtop2 package contains a library for obtaining information about a
running system, such as cpu, memory and disk usage; active processes; and
PIDs.
A flaw was found in the way libgtop2 handled long filenames mapped
into the address space of a process. An attacker could execute arbitrary
code on behalf of the user running gnome-system-monitor by executing a
process and mapping a file with a specially crafted name into the
processes' address space. (CVE-2007-0235)
This update also fixes the following bug:
* when a version of libgtop2 compiled to run on a 32-bit architecture was
used to inspect a process running in 64-bit mode, it failed to report
certain information regarding address space mapping correctly.
All users of gnome-system-monitor are advised to upgrade to this updated
libgtop2 package, which contains backported patches that resolve these issues.
4. Solution:
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at

5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):
208265 - LTC27411-bad PROC_MAPS_FORMAT in libgtop2-devel
249884 - CVE-2007-0235 Stack overflow libgtop when pathname of mmap()-ed file is too long

Red Hat Security Advisory
Synopsis: Moderate: libgtop2 security update
Advisory ID: RHSA-2007:0765-01
Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2007-0765.html
Issue date: 2007-08-07
Updated on: 2007-08-07
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
CVE Names: CVE-2007-0235
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Summary:
An updated libgtop2 package that fixes a security issue and a functionality
bug is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.
This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop version 4 - i386, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64
3. Problem description:
The libgtop2 package contains a library for obtaining information about a
running system, such as cpu, memory and disk usage; active processes; and
PIDs.
A flaw was found in the way libgtop2 handled long filenames mapped
into the address space of a process. An attacker could execute arbitrary
code on behalf of the user running gnome-system-monitor by executing a
process and mapping a file with a specially crafted name into the
processes' address space. (CVE-2007-0235)
This update also fixes the following bug:
* when a version of libgtop2 compiled to run on a 32-bit architecture was
used to inspect a process running in 64-bit mode, it failed to report
certain information regarding address space mapping correctly.
All users of gnome-system-monitor are advised to upgrade to this updated
libgtop2 package, which contains backported patches that resolve these issues.
4. Solution:
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_58_10188
5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):
208265 - LTC27411-bad PROC_MAPS_FORMAT in libgtop2-devel
249884 - CVE-2007-0235 Stack overflow libgtop when pathname of mmap()-ed file is too long
