Updated kernel packages fix the AMD64 ptrace vulnerability Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200402-06 (Updated kernel packages fix the AMD64 ptrace vulnerability) A vulnerability has been discovered by Andi Kleen in the ptrace emulation code for AMD64 platforms when eflags are processed, permiting a local user to obtain elevated priveleges. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project, http://cve.mitre.org, has assigned CVE-2004-0001 to this issue. Impact Only users of the AMD64 platform are affected: in this scenario, a user may be able to obtain elevated priveleges, including root access. However, no public exploit is known for the vulnerability at this time. Workaround There is no temporary workaround - a kernel upgrade is required. A list of unaffected kernels is provided along with this announcement. Solution: Users are encouraged to upgrade to the latest available sources for their system: # emerge sync # emerge -pv your-favourite-sources # emerge your-favourite-sources # # Follow usual procedure for compiling and installing a kernel. # # If you use genkernel, run genkernel as you would do normally. # # IF YOUR KERNEL IS MARKED as "remerge required!" THEN # # YOU SHOULD UPDATE YOUR KERNEL EVEN IF PORTAGE # # REPORTS THAT THE SAME VERSION IS INSTALLED.
