openSUSE Security Update : sysconfig (openSUSE-SU-2012:0242-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 75753

Language:

Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

This update for sysconfig contains the following fixes :

- sysconfig hook script for NetworkManager did not properly quote shell meta characters when processing ESSIDs. Specially crafted network names could therefore lead to execution of shell code (CVE-2011-4182).

- Explicitly disabled posix mode in all bash scripts as we are using several features not supported in posix mode (bnc#739338).

- Fixed ipv6 dad / link ready wait time calculation (1/10 of the specified time were used), replaced useless up flag check loop with link_ready_wait to avoid send errors from dhclient6 and cleaned up link / dad wait verify flag after status update (bnc#697929).

Solution

Update the affected sysconfig package.
