SuSE Security Announcement

Package: dhcp/dhcp-server Announcement-ID: SuSE-SA:2002:019 Date: Wednesday, May 22th 2002 13:30 MEST Affected products: 7.2, 7.3, 8.0 SuSE Linux Database Server SuSE eMail Server III SuSE Linux Enterprise Server for S/390 SuSE Linux Connectivity Server SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 7 Vulnerability Type: remote command execution Severity (1-10): 4 SuSE default package: no Other affected systems: all systems using ISC DHCP server 3.x

Content of this advisory: 1) security vulnerability resolved: format string bug in dynamic DNS code problem description, discussion, solution and upgrade information 2) pending vulnerabilities, solutions, workarounds 3) standard appendix (further information)

_______________________________________________ _______________________________

1) problem description, brief discussion, solution, upgrade information

The "Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol" (DHCP) server from the Internet Software Consortium allows hosts on a TCP/IP network to request and be assigned IP addresses, and also to discover information about the network to which they are attached.

A remote exploitable format string vulnerability was found in the logging routines of the dynamic DNS code of dhcpd. This vulnerability allows an attacker, usually within the LAN served by the DHCP server, to get remote root access to the host running dhcpd.

The dhcp/dhcp-server package is not installed by default nor is the dynamic DNS feature enabled by default. As temporary workaround the dynamic DNS feature could be disabled via dhcpd's config file with the following lines: ddns-update-style none; ddns-updates off; After updating the package or modifying the config file you have to run: rcdhcpd restart as root to restart all instances of running dhcpd processes.

Please download the update package for your distribution and verify its integrity by the methods listed in section 3) of this announcement. Then, install the package using the command "rpm -Fhv file.rpm" to apply the update. Our maintenance customers are being notified individually. The packages are being offered to install from the maintenance web.

3) standard appendix: authenticity verification, additional information

- Package authenticity verification:

SuSE update packages are available on many mirror ftp servers all over the world. While this service is being considered valuable and important to the free and open source software community, many users wish to be sure about the origin of the package and its content before installing the package. There are two verification methods that can be used independently from each other to prove the authenticity of a downloaded file or rpm package: 1) md5sums as provided in the (cryptographically signed) announcement. 2) using the internal gpg signatures of the rpm package.

1) execute the command md5sum after you downloaded the file from a SuSE ftp server or its mirrors. Then, compare the resulting md5sum with the one that is listed in the announcement. Since the announcement containing the checksums is cryptographically signed (usually using the key security@suse.de), the checksums show proof of the authenticity of the package. We disrecommend to subscribe to security lists which cause the email message containing the announcement to be modified so that the signature does not match after transport through the mailing list software. Downsides: You must be able to verify the authenticity of the announcement in the first place. If RPM packages are being rebuilt and a new version of a package is published on the ftp server, all md5 sums for the files are useless.

2) rpm package signatures provide an easy way to verify the authenticity of an rpm package. Use the command rpm -v --checksig to verify the signature of the package, where is the filename of the rpm package that you have downloaded. Of course, package authenticity verification can only target an uninstalled rpm package file. Prerequisites: a) gpg is installed b) The package is signed using a certain key. The public part of this key must be installed by the gpg program in the directory~/.gnupg/ under the user's home directory who performs the signature verification (usually root). You can import the key that is used by SuSE in rpm packages for SuSE Linux by saving this announcement to a file ("announcement.txt") and running the command (do "su -" to be root): gpg --batch; gpg < announcement.txt | gpg --import SuSE Linux distributions version 7.1 and thereafter install the key "build@suse.de" upon installation or upgrade, provided that the package gpg is installed. The file containing the public key is placed at the toplevel directory of the first CD (pubring.gpg) and at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/pubring.gpg-build.suse.de .
