Red Hat Security Advisory
Synopsis: Moderate: GFS security and bug fix update
Advisory ID: RHSA-2010:0330-01
Product: Red Hat Global File System
Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2010-0330.html
Issue date: 2010-03-30
CVE Names: CVE-2010-0727
=====================================================================
1. Summary:
Updated GFS packages that fix one security issue are now available for Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 3.9, kernel release 2.4.21-63.EL.
The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate
security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score,
which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in
the References section.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Global File System 3AS - i386, ia64, x86_64
Red Hat Global File System 3ES - i386, ia64, x86_64
Red Hat Global File System 3WS - i386, ia64, x86_64
3. Description:
The Red Hat Global File System (GFS) allows a cluster of Linux servers to
share data in a common pool of storage.
A flaw was found in the gfs_lock() implementation. The GFS locking code
could skip the lock operation for files that have the S_ISGID bit
(set-group-ID on execution) in their mode set. A local, unprivileged user
on a system that has a GFS file system mounted could use this flaw to cause
a kernel panic. (CVE-2010-0727)
As well, these updated GFS packages are in sync with the latest kernel
(2.4.21-63.EL). The modules in earlier GFS packages fail to load because
they do not match the running kernel. It is possible to force-load the
modules; however, with this update, force-loading the modules is not
required. (BZ#525198)
Users are advised to upgrade to these latest GFS packages, which resolve
this issue and are updated for use with the 2.4.21-63.EL kernel.
4. Solution:
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to

5. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):
525198 - Need rebuild for 2.4.21-63.EL kernel
570863 - CVE-2010-0727 bug in GFS/GFS2 locking code leads to dos
