[GLSA-200611-03] NVIDIA binary graphics driver: Privilege escalation vulnerability |
||
NVIDIA binary graphics driver: Privilege escalation vulnerability Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200611-03 (NVIDIA binary graphics driver: Privilege escalation vulnerability) Rapid7 reported a boundary error in the NVIDIA binary graphics driver that leads to a buffer overflow in the accelerated rendering functionality. Impact An X client could trigger the buffer overflow with a maliciously crafted series of glyphs. A remote attacker could also entice a user to open a specially crafted web page, document or X client that will trigger the buffer overflow. This could result in the execution of arbitrary code with root rights or at least in the crash of the X server. Workaround Disable the accelerated rendering functionality in the Device section of xorg.conf : Option "RenderAccel" "false" References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-5379 Solution: NVIDIA binary graphics driver users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-1.0.8776" Network Security Threat Level: High Networks Security ID: Vulnerability Assessment Copyright: (C) 2006 Michel Arboi |
