- glibc (adds many security-hardening changes originating from Owl and ALT Linux on top of EL package) - [glibc](packages/glibc.md) (adds many security-hardening changes originating from Owl and ALT Linux on top of EL package)
- openssh (fewer shared libraries exposed in sshd processes while otherwise fully matching EL package's functionality) - [openssh](packages/openssh.md) (fewer shared libraries exposed in sshd processes while otherwise fully matching EL package's functionality)
The changes are described in more detail in the package changelogs. The changes are described in more detail on the per-package wiki pages linked above, as well as in the package changelogs.
More packages/changes are planned, including override packages also for EL8. More packages/changes are planned, including override packages also for EL8.
#### Known-effective vulnerability mitigations and fixes
`glibc-2.34-60.el9_2.security.0.2` (specifically the `.0.2` version!) includes mitigations sufficient to avoid security exposure of [CVE-2023-4911](https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2023/10/03/2) and a backport of upstream glibc fix of [CVE-2023-4527](https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2023/09/25/1) that was not yet in upstream EL.
The inclusion of additional security fixes will be "reverted" if and when those get included in upstream EL packages that we rebase our changes on.

# Override package: glibc
## EL9
- Version `2.34-60.7.el9_2.security.0.3`
- Based on `2.34-60.el9_2.7`
### Changes summary
- Distrust and/or unset many more environment variables used by current and previous glibc versions when running SUID/SGID/setcap (Owl via ALT Linux)
- When `syslog(3)`/`vsyslog(3)` is called by a SUID/SGID/setcap program without a preceding call to `openlog(3)`, don't blindly trust `__progname` for the syslog ident (Owl via ALT Linux)
- In `syslog(3)/vsyslog(3)` use `asctime_r(3)+localtime_r(3)` instead of `strftime_r()` so that month names don't depend on current locale settings (Owl via ALT Linux)
- In `asprintf(3)/vasprintf(3)` reset the pointer to NULL on error, like BSDs do, so that the caller wouldn't access memory over an uninitialized or stale pointer (ALT Linux)
- In `fread(3)/fwrite(3)` check for potential integer overflow (ALT Linux)
- In `tmpfile(3)` use the `TMPDIR` environment variable (when not running SUID/SGID/setcap) (ALT Linux)
#### Known-effective vulnerability mitigations and fixes
`2.34-60.el9_2.security.0.2` included mitigations sufficient to avoid security exposure of [CVE-2023-4911](https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2023/10/03/2) and a backport of upstream glibc fix of [CVE-2023-4527](https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2023/09/25/1) that was not yet in upstream EL. In the update to `2.34-60.7.el9_2.security.0.3`, we retained the mitigations while rebasing on upstream EL's package with upstream fixes for these vulnerabilities (and more).
In general, inclusion of additional security fixes will be "reverted" if and when those get included in upstream EL packages that we rebase our changes on.

# Override package: openssh
## EL9
- Version `8.7p1-30.el9_2.security.0.2`
- Based on `8.7p1-30.el9_2`
### Changes summary
- Instead of linking against `libsystemd`, load it dynamically in a temporary child process to avoid polluting actual `sshd`'s address space with that library and its many dependencies (shortens `ldd sshd` output from 28 to 20 lines)
### Change log
```
* Sat Oct 07 2023 Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com> 8.7p1-30.el9.security.0.2
- Load libsystemd.so.0, not libsystemd.so, as the latter is only provided by
systemd-devel
* Mon Aug 28 2023 Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com> 8.7p1-30.el9.security.0.1
- Instead of linking against libsystemd, load it dynamically in a temporary
child process to avoid polluting actual sshd's address space with that
library and its many dependencies (shortens "ldd sshd" from 28 to 20 lines)
