-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- ______________________________________________________________________________ SuSE Security Announcement Package: bind8 Announcement-ID: SuSE-SA:2001:03 Date: Tuesday, January 30th, 2000 23:40 MEST Affected SuSE versions: 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 7.0, 7.1 Vulnerability Type: remote root compromise Severity (1-10): 9 SuSE default package: no Other affected systems: all systems using bind, versions before 8.2.3-REL Content of this advisory: 1) security vulnerability resolved: bind8 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 bind-8.x in all versions of the SuSE distributions contain a bug in the transaction signature handling code that can allow to remotely over- flow a buffer and thereby execute arbitrary code as the user running the nameserver (this is user named by default on SuSE systems). In addition to this bug, another problem allows for a remote attacker to collect information about the running bind process (this has been found by Claudio Musmarra <a9605121(a)unet.univie.ac.at>). For more information on these bugs, please visit the CERT webpage at http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2001-02.html and the bind bugs webpage at http://www.isc.org/products/BIND/bind-security.html . The problem is existent in the upcoming SuSE distribution 7.1 that will be available by February 10th in the CD/DVD version. There exists no reasonable method to circumvent the problems other than to update the package as described below. Please choose the update package for your distribution from the URLs listed below and download the necessary rpm files. Then, install the package using the command `rpm -Uhv file.rpmŽ. rpm packages have an internal md5 checksum that protects against file corruption. You can verify this checksum using the command (independently from the md5 signatures below) `rpm --checksig --nogpg file.rpm', The md5 sums under each package are to prove the package authenticity, independently from the md5 checksums in the rpm package format. SPECIAL INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS: ============================== If you run a bind8 nameserver on your system, please update the package immediately. In order for the updated package to become active, the nameserver process "named" needs to be restarted. Do this using the command `rcnamed restartŽ as root after performing the rpm command as shown above. Afterwards, check for the running daemon using the ps command as `ps auxŽ. The named process should show a new starting time. Repeat the `rcnamed restartŽ command if the nameserver shut down too slowly to release the socket for the new server. i386 Intel Platform: SuSE-7.1 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.1/n2/bind8-8.2.3-92.i386.rpm e9b354dbd96f6216b9da01f2b3a0a166 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.1/zq1/bind8-8.2.3-92.src.rpm f77200a6c476b58980f68b5db3fd7c4b SuSE-7.0 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.0/n1/bind8-8.2.3-61.i386.rpm 4fdee7483fce85f2a31a1a53d2b01b76 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.0/zq1/bind8-8.2.3-61.src.rpm e53896d1ddfb405774a492469621af02 SuSE-6.4 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.4/n1/bind8-8.2.3-0.i386.rpm bb25cb6ba2e54bf929f61c14b3663b3e source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.4/zq1/bind8-8.2.3-0.src.rpm 1033f0df4b747f1d2758fdae69a5fa17 SuSE-6.3 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.3/n1/bind8-8.2.3-0.i386.rpm 73fe798d4afb87beecb2546ecf076f64 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.3/zq1/bind8-8.2.3-0.src.rpm dfe4e452d8d0a0a8ff0994e514353b3f SuSE-6.2 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.2/n1/bind8-8.2.3-0.i386.rpm 48b45d14724e852810de130864ab8281 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.2/zq1/bind8-8.2.3-0.src.rpm 22ca23ed06739effc887370bfef2d83e SuSE-6.1 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.1/n1/bind8-8.2.3-0.i386.rpm fc9cd0970c15246599f90ce1f5955f29 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.1/zq1/bind8-8.2.3-0.src.rpm 6cdf2e5c3a9a25ca98f8916de677cb70 SuSE-6.0 Please use the SuSE-6.1 packages for the SuSE-6.0 distribution on the i386 Intel Platform.

SuSE Security Announcement: kdesu

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- ______________________________________________________________________________ SuSE Security Announcement Package: kdesu Announcement-ID: SuSE-SA:2001:02 Date: Affected SuSE versions: 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 7.0 Vulnerability Type: local root compromise Severity (1-10): 3 SuSE default package: yes Other affected systems: All KDE 1 & KDE 2 systems Content of this advisory: 1) security vulnerability resolved: kdesu 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 kdesu is a KDE frontend for su(1). When invoked it prompts for the root password and runs su(1). kdesu itself does not run setuid/setgid. However when enabling the 'keep password' option it tries to send the password across process boundaries to kdesud via a UNIX socket. During this it does not verify the identity of the listener on the other end. This allows attackers to obtain the root password. This bug has been fixed in the update packages by checking the ownership of the socket on the listener side. Download the update package from locations desribed below and install the package with the command `rpm -Uhv file.rpm'. The md5sum for each file is in the line below. You can verify the integrity of the rpm files using the command `rpm --checksig --nogpg file.rpm', independently from the md5 signatures below. i386 Intel Platform: SuSE-6.1: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.1/kpa1/kdesu-0.98-187.i386.rpm 3d51f84f2dc87916bc937f3afe507c1a SuSE-6.1: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.1/kpa1/kdesu.rpm 3d51f84f2dc87916bc937f3afe507c1a source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.1/zq1/kdesu-0.98-187.src.rpm f8764afd475fa7a41c18603d15ce48ab SuSE-6.2: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.2/kpa1/kdesu-0.98-187.i386.rpm 027617e19c957b1ed5f42f140b62521b SuSE-6.2: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.2/kpa1/kdesu.rpm 027617e19c957b1ed5f42f140b62521b source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.2/zq1/kdesu-0.98-187.src.rpm 9cf3d4b0c00db4598968dd5c7e07eef7 SuSE-6.3: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.3/kpa1/kdesu-0.98-187.i386.rpm d2b6c6f3330a20c2eb7d5500de2f9df6 SuSE-6.3: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.3/kpa1/kdesu.rpm d2b6c6f3330a20c2eb7d5500de2f9df6 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.3/zq1/kdesu-0.98-187.src.rpm a50cc8ba1a793f9151559454fdad0a14 SuSE-6.4: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.4/kpa1/kdesu-0.98-187.i386.rpm 8f06dd49bdc00dca25eff33a3754ddee SuSE-6.4: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.4/kpa1/kdesu.rpm 8f06dd49bdc00dca25eff33a3754ddee source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.4/zq1/kdesu-0.98-187.src.rpm 0ca2d30cf51d1307f88581d4e240bbf0 SuSE-7.0: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.0/kpa1/kdesu-0.98-187.i386.rpm c7238ea5775939239b3857b550ca9f1b SuSE-7.0: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.0/kpa1/kdesu.rpm c7238ea5775939239b3857b550ca9f1b source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.0/zq1/kdesu-0.98-187.src.rpm bc74c75ba0b514f7df4f0250ccc7454a Sparc Platform: AXP Alpha Platform: SuSE-6.1: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/update/6.1/kpa1/kdesu-0.98-187.alpha.rpm 8017cd7fed463cae4bef3fa471e7e1d8 SuSE-6.1: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/update/6.1/kpa1/kdesu.rpm 8017cd7fed463cae4bef3fa471e7e1d8 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/update/6.1/zq1/kdesu-0.98-187.src.rpm 78846e4ae3f50e9264e8840da1a628a8 SuSE-6.3: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/update/6.3/kpa1/kdesu-0.98-187.alpha.rpm cf1629ba236c0c84e0f2b33101b5f1aa SuSE-6.3: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/update/6.3/kpa1/kdesu.rpm cf1629ba236c0c84e0f2b33101b5f1aa source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/update/6.3/zq1/kdesu-0.98-187.src.rpm da851ebaee36cb91cb1e1fca0c8bfda2 SuSE-6.4: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/update/6.4/kpa1/kdesu-0.98-187.alpha.rpm d1904cc9db320ea2c576b73633ee6bd5 SuSE-6.4: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/update/6.4/kpa1/kdesu.rpm d1904cc9db320ea2c576b73633ee6bd5 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/update/6.4/zq1/kdesu-0.98-187.src.rpm 27261cf8ff0ea66a597520260b832f7d SuSE-7.0: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/update/7.0/kpa1/kdesu-0.98-187.alpha.rpm be3b258eeeb3c56351b93ec8a32826db SuSE-7.0: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/update/7.0/kpa1/kdesu.rpm be3b258eeeb3c56351b93ec8a32826db source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/update/7.0/zq1/kdesu-0.98-187.src.rpm b7e3139377784c5cbbc4f14a5061d124 PPC Power PC Platform: SuSE-6.4: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/update/6.4/kpa1/kdesu-0.98-187.ppc.rpm 705afa4defc64c48f89dd94b2d52c296 SuSE-6.4: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/update/6.4/kpa1/kdesu.rpm 705afa4defc64c48f89dd94b2d52c296 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/update/6.4/zq1/kdesu-0.98-187.src.rpm 32e626fa7e8206d6803957c77062185b SuSE-7.0: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/update/7.0/kpa1/kdesu-0.98-187.ppc.rpm e9b4a8a26844af0bc8cb37c8d2d26530 SuSE-7.0: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/update/7.0/kpa1/kdesu.rpm e9b4a8a26844af0bc8cb37c8d2d26530 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/update/7.0/zq1/kdesu-0.98-187.src.rpm aaa092ffafe149ef8ba3acf570966e09 ______________________________________________________________________________ 2) Pending vulnerabilities in SuSE Distributions and Workarounds: - Kmail remote code execution.

SuSE Security Announcement: shlibs/glibc (SuSE-SA:2001:01)
by draht＠suse.de 26 Jan '01

26 Jan '01

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- ______________________________________________________________________________ SuSE Security Announcement Package: glibc (shlibs) Announcement-ID: SuSE-SA:2001:01 Date: Friday, January 26th, 2001 15:40 MET Affected SuSE versions: 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 7.0 Vulnerability Type: local root compromise Severity (1-10): 6 SuSE default package: yes Other affected systems: most Linux/glibc based systems Content of this advisory: 1) security vulnerability resolved: glibc 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 ld-linux.so.2, the dynamical linker, adds shared libraries to the memoryspace of a program to be started. Its flexibility allows for some environment variables to influence the linking process such as preloading shared libraries as well as defining the path in which the linker will search for the shared libraries. Special care must be exercised when runtime-linking setuid- or setgid-binaries: The runtime-linker must not link against user-specified libraries since the code therein would then run with the elevated privileges of the suid binary. The runtime-linker as used in the SuSE distributions ignores the content of the critical environment variables if the specified path begins with a slash ("/"), or if the library file name is not cached (eg it is contained in a path from /etc/ld.so.conf). However, Solar Designer has found out that even preloading glibc- native shared libraries can be dangerous: The code in the user-linked library is not aware of the fact that the binary runs with suid or sgid privileges. Using debugging features of the glibc (and possibly other features) it is possible for a local attacker to overwrite arbitrary files with the elevated privileges of the suid/sgid binary executed. This may lead to a local root compromise. To eliminate these problems, we provide update packages that completely disregard the LD_* variables upon runtime-linking of a binary that has an effective uid different from the caller's userid. Download the update package from locations desribed below and install the package with the command `rpm -Uhv file.rpm'. The md5sum for each file is in the line below. You can verify the integrity of the rpm files using the command `rpm --checksig --nogpg file.rpm', independently from the md5 signatures below. SPECIAL INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS: ============================== The glibc (the shlibs package) is an intrinsic part of the GNU/Linux operating system since most binary executables are dependent on the shared libraries from that package. For this reason, special care must be taken while updating the shlibs package. After downloading the binary rpm files, make sure that your system is idle by bringing it down to Single User Mode (`init 1Ž). If this is not applicable for operational reasons, then keep your machine as calm as possible while you perform the update. In particular, make sure that no shell scripts are running during the update. Install the package using the command rpm -Uhv package-rpm-file Do _NOT_ interrupt the operation of the rpm command! After the installation, execute the commands ldconfig # alternatively, use SuSEconfig /sbin/init u # will restart init At this point, the update is done. On low-memory machines a reboot is advisable to free the memory that is used by the old memory-mapped libraries. Note 1: The upcoming SuSE-7.1 distribution is based on glibc-2.2. This distribution is not affected by the security problems in glibc as discussed in security forums. Note 2: The source rpm for the shlibs package is called "libc*.rpm". Multiple binary rpm packages are being generated from this source rpm package. These include: localedb, nssv1, shlibs, timezone. To get a fix for the runtime-linker related security issue (topic of this announcement), it is only necessary to update the shlibs binary rpm package.
