Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.69329
Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian Security Advisory DSA 2193-1 (libcgroup)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update to libcgroup;announced via advisory DSA 2193-1.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update to libcgroup
announced via advisory DSA 2193-1.

Vulnerability Insight:
Several issues have been discovered in libcgroup, a library to control
and monitor control groups:

CVE-2011-1006

Heap-based buffer overflow by converting list of controllers for
given task into an array of strings could lead to privilege
escalation by a local attacker.

CVE-2011-1022

libcgroup did not properly check the origin of Netlink messages,
allowing a local attacker to send crafted Netlink messages which
could lead to privilege escalation.

The oldstable distribution (lenny) does not contain libgroup packages.

For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.36.2-3+squeeze1.

For the testing distribution (wheezy) and unstable distribution (sid),
this problem will be fixed soon.

Solution:
We recommend that you upgrade your libcgroup packages.
