Advisory:
========================

Updated keepalived package fixes security vulnerabilities:

keepalived before version 2.0.9 didn't check for pathnames with symlinks when
writing data to a temporary file upon a call to PrintData or PrintStats. This
allowed local users to overwrite arbitrary files if fs.protected_symlinks is set
to 0, as demonstrated by a symlink from /tmp/keepalived.data or
/tmp/keepalived.stats to /etc/passwd (CVE-2018-19044).

keepalived before version 2.0.9 used mode 0666 when creating new temporary
files upon a call to PrintData or PrintStats, potentially leaking sensitive
information (CVE-2018-19045).

keepalived before version 2.0.10 didn't check for existing plain files when
writing data to a temporary file upon a call to PrintData or PrintStats. If a
local attacker had previously created a file with the expected name (e.g.,
/tmp/keepalived.data or /tmp/keepalived.stats), with read access for the
attacker and write access for the keepalived process, then this potentially
leaked sensitive information (CVE-2018-19046).

keepalived before version 2.0.9 has a heap-based buffer overflow when parsing
HTTP status codes resulting in DoS or possibly unspecified other impact,
because extract_status_code in lib/html.c has no validation of the status code
and instead writes an unlimited amount of data to the heap (CVE-2018-19115).

Updated packages in core/updates_testing:
========================
keepalived-2.0.10-1.mga6

from keepalived-2.0.10-1.mga6.src.rpm

Assignee: mageia => qa-bugs

MGA6-32 MATE on IBM Thinkpad R50e
No installation issues.
Only previous update I find is bug4084, I quote from it:
"For testing, at least three systems are needed. Two servers and a client."

I don't have that many systems available (laptops not fit for Vbox either), so I assured that no network connections are affected by the installation (NFS-mount, internet connection).
Leaving at that.

@David
In the light of Herman's comment above, would you agree 'clean update' for this one?

CC: (none) => lewyssmith

That's probably fine.  Checking for the security issues could be done by just running it on one computer, but since we updated rather than patched it, I think we can trust that they're fixed.

Thanks David. This is a big thing to drive, and the CVEs are several. It is a major version update.

Testing M6/64 clean update only
