Synopsis: Important: setroubleshoot and setroubleshoot-plugins security update
Advisory ID: SLSA-2016:1293-1
Issue Date: 2016-06-23
CVE Numbers: CVE-2016-4444
CVE-2016-4446
CVE-2016-4989
—
The setroubleshoot-plugins package provides a set of analysis plugins for
use with setroubleshoot. Each plugin has the capacity to analyze SELinux
AVC data and system data to provide user friendly reports describing how
to interpret SELinux AVC denials.
Security Fix(es):
* Shell command injection flaws were found in the way the setroubleshoot
executed external commands. A local attacker able to trigger certain
SELinux denials could use these flaws to execute arbitrary code with
privileges of the setroubleshoot user. (CVE-2016-4989)
* Shell command injection flaws were found in the way the setroubleshoot
allow_execmod and allow_execstack plugins executed external commands. A
local attacker able to trigger an execmod or execstack SELinux denial
could use these flaws to execute arbitrary code with privileges of the
setroubleshoot user. (CVE-2016-4444, CVE-2016-4446)
The CVE-2016-4444 and CVE-2016-4446 issues were discovered by Milos Malik
(Red Hat) and the CVE-2016-4989 issue was discovered by Red Hat Product
Security.
Note: On Scientific Linux 7.0 and 7.1, the setroubleshoot is run with root
privileges. Therefore, these issues could allow an attacker to execute
arbitrary code with root privileges.
