gcc and gcc4 security update (RHSA-2010-0039)

Original Release Date: February 19, 2010
Last Revised: February 19, 2010
Number: ASA-2010-053
Risk Level: Low
Advisory Version: 1.0
Advisory Status: Interim
1. Overview:

The gcc and gcc4 packages include, among others, C, C++, and Java GNU compilers 
and related support libraries. libgcj contains a copy of GNU Libtool's libltdl 
library.

A flaw was found in the way GNU Libtool's libltdl library looked for libraries 
to load. It was possible for libltdl to load a malicious library from the 
current working directory. In certain configurations, if a local attacker is 
able to trick a local user into running a Java application (which uses a 
function to load native libraries, such as System.loadLibrary) from within 
an attacker-controlled directory containing a malicious library or module, 
the attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the 
user running the Java application. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures 
project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2009-3736 to this issue.

More information about these vulnerabilities can be found in the security 
advisory issued by RedHat Linux:

Recommended Actions for System Products:
Avaya strongly recommends that customers follow networking and security best 
practices by implementing firewalls, ACLs, physical security or other 
appropriate access restrictions. Though Avaya believes such restrictions 
should always be in place; risk to Avaya's product and the surrounding 
network from this potential vulnerability may be mitigated by ensuring these 
practices are implemented until such time as a product update is available or 
the recommended action is applied. Further restrictions as deemed necessary 
based on the customer's security policies may be required during this interim 
period.

3. Avaya Software-Only Products:

Avaya software-only products operate on general-purpose operating systems. 
Occasionally vulnerabilities may be discovered in the underlying operating

threaten the integrity of the underlying platform.

In the case of this advisory Avaya software-only products are not affected by 
the vulnerability directly but the underlying Linux platform may be. Customers 
should determine on which Linux operating system the product was installed and 
then follow that vendor's guidance.
