The improvements will help our customers to get a better understanding of how we reached our conclusions, how it was rated, our thoughts on exploitation, attack vectors, and scenarios. This includes: * Reason for rating * Extended description * Extended solution * Exploit code or links to exploit code * Deep links Read the full description: http://corporate.secunia.com/products/48/?r=l Contact Secunia Sales for more information: http://corporate.secunia.com/how_to_buy/15/?r=l ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TITLE: IBM Lotus Domino tunekrnl Privilege Escalation Vulnerabilities SECUNIA ADVISORY ID: SA22724 VERIFY ADVISORY: http://secunia.com/advisories/22724/ CRITICAL: Less critical IMPACT: Privilege escalation WHERE: Local system SOFTWARE: IBM Lotus Domino 6.x http://secunia.com/product/720/ IBM Lotus Domino 7.x http://secunia.com/product/5746/ DESCRIPTION: Andrew Christensen has reported some vulnerabilities in IBM Lotus Domino, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges. The vulnerabilities are caused due to boundary errors in tunekrnl, which is setuid "root". This can be exploited to cause buffer overflows by passing overly long input to the program. Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code with "root" privileges. The vulnerabilities are reported in versions 6.x and 7.x for Linux on zSeries and version 7.x for Linux on x86 platforms. SOLUTION: Update to version 6.5.5 Fix Pack 2 (FP2) or 7.0.2.
