-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ______________________________________________________________________________ SUSE Security Announcement Package: kernel Announcement ID: SUSE-SA:2008:038 Date: Tue, 29 Jul 2008 16:00:00 +0000 Affected Products: SLE SDK 10 SP2 SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 SP2 SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 SP2 DEBUGINFO SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP2 Vulnerability Type: remote denial of service Severity (1-10): 9 SUSE Default Package: yes Cross-References: CVE-2008-1615, CVE-2008-1669, CVE-2008-1673 CVE-2008-2372, CVE-2008-2812, CVE-2008-2931 SUSE-SA:2008:035 Content of This Advisory: 1) Security Vulnerability Resolved: Linux kernel security update Problem Description 2) Solution or Work-Around 3) Special Instructions and Notes 4) Package Location and Checksums 5) Pending Vulnerabilities, Solutions, and Work-Arounds: See SUSE Security Summary Report. 6) Authenticity Verification and Additional Information ______________________________________________________________________________ 1) Problem Description and Brief Discussion This is a respin of the previous Linux kernel update for SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 SP2 as announced in SUSE-SA:2008:035, which got retracted due to an IDE-CDROM regression, where any IDE CDROM access would hang or crash the system. Only this problem was fixed additionally. The kernel version in this update is 2.6.16.60-0.27. This kernel update fixes the following security problems: CVE-2008-1615: On x86_64 a denial of service attack could be used by local attackers to immediately panic / crash the machine. CVE-2008-1669: Fixed a SMP ordering problem in fcntl_setlk could potentially allow local attackers to execute code by timing file locking. CVE-2008-2372: Fixed a resource starvation problem in the handling of ZERO mmap pages. CVE-2008-1673: The ASN1 implementation in (a) the Linux kernel, as used in the cifs and ip_nat_snmp_basic modules does not properly validate length values during decoding of ASN.1 BER data, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code via (1) a length greater than the working buffer, which can lead to an unspecified overflow; (2) an oid length of zero, which can lead to an off-by-one error; or (3) an indefinite length for a primitive encoding. CVE-2008-2812: Various tty / serial devices did not check function pointers for NULL before calling them, leading to potential crashes or code execution. The devices affected are usually only accessible by the root user though. CVE-2008-2931: A missing permission check in mount changing was added which could have been used by local attackers to change the mount directory. Additionally a very large number of bugs was fixed. Details can be found in the RPM changelog of the included packages. OCFS2 has been upgraded to the 1.4.1 release: - Endian fixes - Use slab caches for DLM objects - Export DLM state info to debugfs - Avoid ENOSPC in rare conditions when free inodes are reserved by other nodes - Error handling fix in ocfs2_start_walk_page_trans() - Cleanup lockres printing - Allow merging of extents - Fix to allow changing permissions of symlinks - Merged local fixes upstream (no code change) 2) Solution or Work-Around There is no known workaround, please install the update packages. 3) Special Instructions and Notes Please reboot the machine after installing the updated kernel. 4) Package Location and Checksums The preferred method for installing security updates is to use the YaST Online Update (YOU) tool. YOU detects which updates are required and automatically performs the necessary steps to verify and install them. Alternatively, download the update packages for your distribution manually and verify their integrity by the methods listed in Section 6 of this announcement. Then install the packages using the command rpm -Fhv <file.rpm> to apply the update, replacing <file.rpm> with the filename of the downloaded RPM package.

The authenticity and integrity of a SUSE security announcement is guaranteed by a cryptographic signature in each announcement. All SUSE security announcements are published with a valid signature. To verify the signature of the announcement, save it as text into a file and run the command gpg --verify <file> replacing <file> with the name of the file where you saved the announcement. The output for a valid signature looks like: gpg: Signature made <DATE> using RSA key ID 3D25D3D9 gpg: Good signature from "SuSE Security Team <security(a)suse.de>" where <DATE> is replaced by the date the document was signed. If the security team's key is not contained in your key ring, you can import it from the first installation CD. To import the key, use the command gpg --import gpg-pubkey-3d25d3d9-36e12d04.asc - Package authenticity verification: SUSE update packages are available on many mirror FTP servers all over the world. While this service is considered valuable and important to the free and open source software community, the authenticity and the integrity of a package needs to be verified to ensure that it has not been tampered with. The internal rpm package signatures provide an easy way to verify the authenticity of an RPM package. Use the command rpm -v --checksig <file.rpm> to verify the signature of the package, replacing <file.rpm> with the filename of the RPM package downloaded. The package is unmodified if it contains a valid signature from build(a)suse.de with the key ID 9C800ACA. This key is automatically imported into the RPM database (on RPMv4-based distributions) and the gpg key ring of 'root' during installation. You can also find it on the first installation CD and at the end of this announcement. - SUSE runs two security mailing lists to which any interested party may subscribe: opensuse-security(a)opensuse.org - General Linux and SUSE security discussion.

[security-announce] Revision of SUSE Security Announcement: Linux Kernel (SUSE-SA:2008:035)
by Marcus Meissner 28 Jul '08

28 Jul '08

Hi, On Monday 21 Jul 2008 we published a security announcement regarding the release of a Linux kernel update for SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 Service Pack 2. This advisory is here: http://www.novell.com/linux/security/advisories/2008_37_kernel.html Unfortunately this kernel update introduces a critical regression in handling of IDE CD-ROMs on little endian processor architectures (Intel x86, AMD64 and Intel EM64T aka x86_64, and Intel Itanium aka ia64), causing IDE-CDROMs not to work at all and even crash the machine. Due to this problem we have removed the kernel update for the three affected architectures from the update servers and from https://download.novell.com/ Please note that this IDE-CDROM regression is not a security problem in itself, but since the removal of the update disables available security fixes it is announced here. A Novell TID is also available, TID 7001037: http://www.novell.com/support/php/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&extern… We are working on publishing fixed kernel packages within this week. Ciao, Marcus

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ______________________________________________________________________________ SUSE Security Announcement Package: kernel Announcement ID: SUSE-SA:2008:037 Date: Tue, 22 Jul 2008 17:00:00 +0000 Affected Products: openSUSE 11.0 Vulnerability Type: local privilege escalation Severity (1-10): 7 SUSE Default Package: yes Cross-References: CVE-2008-2372, CVE-2008-2750, CVE-2008-2812 CVE-2008-2826, CVE-2008-3247 Content of This Advisory: 1) Security Vulnerability Resolved: Linux kernel security problems Problem Description 2) Solution or Work-Around 3) Special Instructions and Notes 4) Package Location and Checksums 5) Pending Vulnerabilities, Solutions, and Work-Arounds: See SUSE Security Summary Report. 6) Authenticity Verification and Additional Information ______________________________________________________________________________ 1) Problem Description and Brief Discussion The openSUSE 11.0 kernel was updated to 2.6.25.11-0.1. It fixes following security problems: CVE-2008-2812: Various tty / serial devices did not check function pointers for NULL before calling them, leading to potential crashes or code execution. The devices affected are usually only accessible by the root user though. CVE-2008-2750: The pppol2tp_recvmsg function in drivers/net/pppol2tp.c in the Linux kernel allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (kernel heap memory corruption and system crash) and possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted PPPOL2TP packet that results in a large value for a certain length variable. CVE-2008-3247: On x86_64 systems, a incorrect buffer size in LDT handling might lead to local untrusted attackers causing a crash of the machine or potentially execute code with kernel privileges. This problem only affects the openSUSE 11.0 kernel, since the problem was introduced in the 2.6.25 kernel. The update also has lots of other bugfixes that are listed in the RPM changelog. We previously also released a 2.6.25.9-0.2 kernel but did not separately announce it. That update fixed the following security problems: CVE-2008-2372: A resource starvation issue within mmap was fixed, which could have been used by local attackers to hang the machine. CVE-2008-2826: A integer overflow in SCTP was fixed, which might have been used by remote attackers to crash the machine or potentially execute code. 2) Solution or Work-Around There is no known workaround, please install the update packages. 3) Special Instructions and Notes Please reboot the machine after the update. 4) Package Location and Checksums The preferred method for installing security updates is to use the YaST Online Update (YOU) tool. YOU detects which updates are required and automatically performs the necessary steps to verify and install them. Alternatively, download the update packages for your distribution manually and verify their integrity by the methods listed in Section 6 of this announcement.

[security-announce] SUSE Security Announcement: libxcrypt (SUSE-SA:2008:036)
by Ludwig Nussel 21 Jul '08

21 Jul '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ______________________________________________________________________________ SUSE Security Announcement Package: libxcrypt Announcement ID: SUSE-SA:2008:036 Date: Mon, 21 Jul 2008 11:00:00 +0000 Affected Products: openSUSE 11.0 Vulnerability Type: use of weak password hash algorithm Severity (1-10): 4 SUSE Default Package: yes Cross-References: CVE-2008-3188 Content of This Advisory: 1) Security Vulnerability Resolved: libxcrypt uses DES as hash algorithm instead of MD5 Problem Description 2) Solution or Work-Around 3) Special Instructions and Notes 4) Package Location and Checksums 5) Pending Vulnerabilities, Solutions, and Work-Arounds: - see SUSE Security Summary report 6) Authenticity Verification and Additional Information ______________________________________________________________________________ 1) Problem Description and Brief Discussion libxcrypt is used on openSUSE to calculate the hash value of passwords. It can be configured to use DES, MD5 or blowfish. Due to a bug in libxcrypt the DES algorithm was used if MD5 was configured in /etc/default/passwd. The default algorithm used on openSUSE is blowfish which worked as expected though. 2) Solution or Work-Around There is no known workaround, please install the update packages. 3) Special Instructions and Notes After applying the update you need to set the password again for all accounts that are supposed to have an MD5 password hash. 4) Package Location and Checksums The preferred method for installing security updates is to use the YaST Online Update (YOU) tool. YOU detects which updates are required and automatically performs the necessary steps to verify and install them. Alternatively, download the update packages for your distribution manually and verify their integrity by the methods listed in Section 6 of this announcement. Then install the packages using the command rpm -Fhv <file.rpm> to apply the update, replacing <file.rpm> with the filename of the downloaded RPM package. x86 Platform: openSUSE 11.0: http://download.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/update/11.0/rpm/i586/libxcrypt-3.… http://download.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/update/11.0/rpm/i586/libxcrypt-de… x86-64 Platform: openSUSE 11.0: http://download.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/update/11.0/rpm/x86_64/libxcrypt-… Sources: openSUSE 11.0: http://download.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/update/11.0/rpm/src/libxcrypt-3.0… ______________________________________________________________________________ 5) Pending Vulnerabilities, Solutions, and Work-Arounds: - see SUSE Security Summary report ______________________________________________________________________________ 6) Authenticity Verification and Additional Information - Announcement authenticity verification: SUSE security announcements are published via mailing lists and on Web sites. The authenticity and integrity of a SUSE security announcement is guaranteed by a cryptographic signature in each announcement. All SUSE security announcements are published with a valid signature. To verify the signature of the announcement, save it as text into a file and run the command gpg --verify <file> replacing <file> with the name of the file where you saved the announcement. The output for a valid signature looks like: gpg: Signature made <DATE> using RSA key ID 3D25D3D9 gpg: Good signature from "SuSE Security Team <security(a)suse.de>" where <DATE> is replaced by the date the document was signed. If the security team's key is not contained in your key ring, you can import it from the first installation CD. To import the key, use the command gpg --import gpg-pubkey-3d25d3d9-36e12d04.asc - Package authenticity verification: SUSE update packages are available on many mirror FTP servers all over the world. While this service is considered valuable and important to the free and open source software community, the authenticity and the integrity of a package needs to be verified to ensure that it has not been tampered with. The internal rpm package signatures provide an easy way to verify the authenticity of an RPM package. Use the command rpm -v --checksig <file.rpm> to verify the signature of the package, replacing <file.rpm> with the filename of the RPM package downloaded. The package is unmodified if it contains a valid signature from build(a)suse.de with the key ID 9C800ACA. This key is automatically imported into the RPM database (on RPMv4-based distributions) and the gpg key ring of 'root' during installation. You can also find it on the first installation CD and at the end of this announcement. - SUSE runs two security mailing lists to which any interested party may subscribe: opensuse-security(a)opensuse.org - General Linux and SUSE security discussion.

CVE-2008-1615: On x86_64 a denial of service attack could be used by local attackers to immediately panic / crash the machine. CVE-2008-1669: Fixed a SMP ordering problem in fcntl_setlk could potentially allow local attackers to execute code by timing file locking. CVE-2008-2372: Fixed a resource starvation problem in the handling of ZERO mmap pages. CVE-2008-1673: The asn1 implementation in (a) the Linux kernel, as used in the cifs and ip_nat_snmp_basic modules does not properly validate length values during decoding of ASN.1 BER data, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code via (1) a length greater than the working buffer, which can lead to an unspecified overflow; (2) an oid length of zero, which can lead to an off-by-one error; or (3) an indefinite length for a primitive encoding. CVE-2008-2812: Various tty / serial devices did not check functionpointers for NULL before calling them, leading to potential crashes or code execution. The devices affected are usually only accessible by the root user though. CVE-2008-2931: A missing permission check in mount changing was added which could have been used by local attackers to change the mountdirectory. Additionaly a very large number of bugs was fixed. Details can be found in the RPM changelog of the included packages. OCFS2 has been upgraded to the 1.4.1 release: - Endian fixes - Use slab caches for DLM objects - Export DLM state info to debugfs - Avoid ENOSPC in rare conditions when free inodes are reserved by other nodes - Error handling fix in ocfs2_start_walk_page_trans() - Cleanup lockres printing - Allow merging of extents - Fix to allow changing permissions of symlinks - Merged local fixes upstream (no code change) 2) Solution or Work-Around There is no known workaround, please install the update packages. 3) Special Instructions and Notes Please reboot the machine after installing the updated kernel. 4) Package Location and Checksums The preferred method for installing security updates is to use the YaST Online Update (YOU) tool. YOU detects which updates are required and automatically performs the necessary steps to verify and install them. Alternatively, download the update packages for your distribution manually and verify their integrity by the methods listed in Section 6 of this announcement. Then install the packages using the command rpm -Fhv <file.rpm> to apply the update, replacing <file.rpm> with the filename of the downloaded RPM package. Our maintenance customers are notified individually.

The authenticity and integrity of a SUSE security announcement is guaranteed by a cryptographic signature in each announcement. All SUSE security announcements are published with a valid signature. To verify the signature of the announcement, save it as text into a file and run the command gpg --verify <file> replacing <file> with the name of the file where you saved the announcement. The output for a valid signature looks like: gpg: Signature made <DATE> using RSA key ID 3D25D3D9 gpg: Good signature from "SuSE Security Team <security(a)suse.de>" where <DATE> is replaced by the date the document was signed. If the security team's key is not contained in your key ring, you can import it from the first installation CD. To import the key, use the command gpg --import gpg-pubkey-3d25d3d9-36e12d04.asc - Package authenticity verification: SUSE update packages are available on many mirror FTP servers all over the world. While this service is considered valuable and important to the free and open source software community, the authenticity and the integrity of a package needs to be verified to ensure that it has not been tampered with. The internal rpm package signatures provide an easy way to verify the authenticity of an RPM package. Use the command rpm -v --checksig <file.rpm> to verify the signature of the package, replacing <file.rpm> with the filename of the RPM package downloaded. The package is unmodified if it contains a valid signature from build(a)suse.de with the key ID 9C800ACA. This key is automatically imported into the RPM database (on RPMv4-based distributions) and the gpg key ring of 'root' during installation. You can also find it on the first installation CD and at the end of this announcement. - SUSE runs two security mailing lists to which any interested party may subscribe: opensuse-security(a)opensuse.org - General Linux and SUSE security discussion.

[security-announce] SUSE Security Summary Report SUSE-SR:2008:015

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ______________________________________________________________________________ SUSE Security Summary Report Announcement ID: SUSE-SR:2008:015 Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2008 13:00:00 +0000 Cross-References: CVE-2008-1502, CVE-2008-2713, CVE-2008-2942 CVE-2008-2950, CVE-2008-3187 Content of this advisory: 1) Solved Security Vulnerabilities: - moodle cross site scripting problem - clamav 0.93.3 release - zypper repository signature checking and addition - mercurial input validation - poppler code execution problem 2) Pending Vulnerabilities, Solutions, and Work-Arounds: None listed this week. 3) Authenticity Verification and Additional Information ______________________________________________________________________________ 1) Solved Security Vulnerabilities To avoid flooding mailing lists with SUSE Security Announcements for minor issues, SUSE Security releases weekly summary reports for the low profile vulnerability fixes. The SUSE Security Summary Reports do not list or download URLs like the SUSE Security Announcements that are released for more severe vulnerabilities. Fixed packages for the following incidents are already available on our FTP server and via the YaST Online Update. - moodle cross site scripting problem An incorrect input validation in moodle could be exploited by attackers to conduct cross site scripting attacks (CVE-2008-1502). moodle is contained in and was fixed for openSUSE 10.2 and 10.3. - clamav 0.93.3 release The Opensource AV scanner clamav was brought to version 0.93.3. The changelog lists CVE-2008-2713 as fixed, which was fixed in 0.93.1 already, and had minor additional fixes to it in 0.93.3. The update contains otherwise just stability and bugfixes. clamav was updated on all distributions containing clamav. - zypper repository signature checking and addition The zypp-refresh-patches wrapper in used by various online updater applets in openSUSE to check for new updates accepted new repository keys without asking the user, so parsing potentially corrupted repositories. It did not import those keys into the trusted keyring, leaving only the repository XML parsing endangered. Please note that this wrapper only checks repositories, it does not do any package operations. This issue was assigned Mitre CVE ID CVE-2008-3187. Only zypper in openSUSE 10.2, 10.3 and 11.0 were affected by this problem and fixed. - mercurial input validation mercurial on openSUSE 11.0 was improved regarding input validation. Prior to this patch it was possible to touch files as root. (CVE-2008-2942) - poppler code execution problem Poppler was updated to fixes a potential code execution bug. (CVE-2008-2950) Only openSUSE 11.0 was affected by this problem and received fixed packages. ______________________________________________________________________________ 2) Pending Vulnerabilities, Solutions, and Work-Arounds None listed this week. ______________________________________________________________________________ 3) Authenticity Verification and Additional Information - Announcement authenticity verification: SUSE security announcements are published via mailing lists and on Web sites.

[security-announce] Package management security on SUSE Linux
by Ludwig Nussel 15 Jul '08

15 Jul '08

Dear openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise users, Several news sites recently published articles citing a report about attacks on package managers [1]. Some unfortunately chose a wording that could be misunderstood as if a rogue mirror server could trick YaST into installing malicious software when applying regular (security-)updates. This is not the case. All official update repositories for SUSE Linux based products use cryptographically signed packages and meta data. YaST verifies the cryptographic signatures and rejects any file whose signature doesn't match. Therefore it's not possible for a rogue mirror to introduce malicious software. Another problem outlined in the report was that mirror servers could intentionally serve an old version of the update repository. Therefore clients using that mirror would not get the latest security updates and potentially stay vulnerable to known and presumably already fixed problems. SUSE already addresses this issue too. - Firstly, YaST will not automatically downgrade installed packages. Therefore an outdated repository can not undo an already applied security fix. - Secondly, starting with version 10.3 openSUSE uses a central download redirector that directly serves the meta data. Stale mirrors are therefore detected immediately. To avoid sending clients to mirrors that do not have certain files (yet), the download redirector also continuously monitors it's mirrors. It only redirects to servers that are known to have the file in question. For SUSE Linux enterprise products only servers owned by Novell are used via secure https connections. cu Ludwig [1] http://www.cs.arizona.edu/people/justin/packagemanagersecurity/attacks-on-p… -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg)

CVE-2008-2798 CVE-2008-2799 MFSA 2008-21: Mozilla developers identified and fixed several stability bugs in the browser engine used in Firefox and other Mozilla-based products. Some of these crashes showed evidence of memory corruption under certain circumstances and we presume that with enough effort at least some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code. CVE-2008-2800 MFSA 2008-22: Mozilla contributor moz_bug_r_a4 submitted a set of vulnerabilities which allow scripts from one document to be executed in the context of a different document. These vulnerabilities could be used by an attacker to violate the same-origin policy and perform an XSS attack. CVE-2008-2801 MFSA 2008-23: Security researcher Collin Jackson reported a series of vulnerabilities which allow JavaScript to be injected into signed JARs and executed under the context of the JAR's signer. This could allow an attacker to run JavaScript in a victim's browser with the privileges of a different website, provided the attacker possesses a JAR signed by the other website. CVE-2008-2802 MFSA 2008-24: Mozilla contributor moz_bug_r_a4 reported a vulnerability that allowed non-privileged XUL documents to load chrome scripts from the fastload file. This could allow an attacker to run arbitrary JavaScript code with chrome privileges. CVE-2008-2803 MFSA 2008-25: Mozilla contributor moz_bug_r_a4 reported a vulnerability which allows arbitrary JavaScript to be executed with chrome privileges. The privilege escalation was possible because JavaScript loaded via mozIJSSubScriptLoader.loadSubScript() was not using XPCNativeWrappers when accessing content. This could allow an attacker to overwrite trusted objects with arbitrary code which would be executed with chrome privileges when the trusted objects were called by the browser. CVE-2008-2805 MFSA 2008-27: Opera developer Claudio Santambrogio reported a vulnerability which allows malicious content to force the browser into uploading local files to the remote server. This could be used by an attacker to steal arbitrary files from a victim's computer. CVE-2008-2806 MFSA 2008-28: Security researcher Gregory Fleischer reported a vulnerability in the way Mozilla indicates the origin of a document to the Java plugin. This vulnerability could allow a malicious Java applet to bypass the same-origin policy and create arbitrary socket connections to other domains. CVE-2008-2807 MFSA 2008-29: Mozilla developer Daniel Glazman demonstrated that an improperly encoded .properties file in an add-on can result in uninitialized memory being used. This could potentially result in small chunks of data from other programs being exposed in the browser. CVE-2008-2808 MFSA 2008-30: Mozilla contributor Masahiro Yamada reported that file URLs in directory listings were not being HTML escaped properly when the filenames contained particular characters. This resulted in files from directory listings being opened in unintended ways or files not being able to be opened by the browser altogether. CVE-2008-2809 MFSA 2008-31: Mozilla developer John G. Myers reported a weakness in the trust model used by Mozilla regarding alternate names on self-signed certificates. A user could be prompted to accept a self-signed certificate from a website which includes alt-name entries. If the user accepted the certificate, they would also extend trust to any alternate domains listed in the certificate, despite not being prompted about the additional domains. This technique could be used by an attacker to impersonate another server. CVE-2008-2810 MFSA 2008-32: Mozilla community member Geoff reported a vulnerability in the way Mozilla opens URL files sent directly to the browser. He demonstrated that such files were opened with local file privileges, giving the remote content access to read from the local filesystem. If a user opened a bookmark to a malicious page in this manner, the page could potentially read from other local files on the user's computer. CVE-2008-2811 MFSA 2008-33: Security research firm Astabis, via the iSIGHT Partners GVP Program, reported a vulnerability in Mozilla's block reflow code. This vulnerability could be used by an attacker to crash the browser and run arbitrary code on the victim's computer. 2) Solution or Work-Around There is no known workaround, please install the update packages. 3) Special Instructions and Notes Please close and restart all running instances of Firefox after the update. 4) Package Location and Checksums The preferred method for installing security updates is to use the YaST Online Update (YOU) tool. YOU detects which updates are required and automatically performs the necessary steps to verify and install them. Alternatively, download the update packages for your distribution manually and verify their integrity by the methods listed in Section 6 of this announcement. Then install the packages using the command rpm -Fhv <file.rpm> to apply the update, replacing <file.rpm> with the filename of the downloaded RPM package. x86 Platform: openSUSE 10.3: http://download.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/update/10.3/rpm/i586/MozillaFiref… http://download.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/update/10.3/rpm/i586/MozillaFiref… openSUSE 10.2: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/update/10.2/rpm/i586/MozillaFirefox-2.0.0.15-0.… ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/update/10.2/rpm/i586/MozillaFirefox-translation… Sources: openSUSE 10.3: http://download.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/update/10.3/rpm/src/MozillaFirefo… openSUSE 10.2: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/update/10.2/rpm/src/MozillaFirefox-2.0.0.15-0.1… Our maintenance customers are notified individually.

The authenticity and integrity of a SUSE security announcement is guaranteed by a cryptographic signature in each announcement. All SUSE security announcements are published with a valid signature. To verify the signature of the announcement, save it as text into a file and run the command gpg --verify <file> replacing <file> with the name of the file where you saved the announcement. The output for a valid signature looks like: gpg: Signature made <DATE> using RSA key ID 3D25D3D9 gpg: Good signature from "SuSE Security Team <security(a)suse.de>" where <DATE> is replaced by the date the document was signed. If the security team's key is not contained in your key ring, you can import it from the first installation CD. To import the key, use the command gpg --import gpg-pubkey-3d25d3d9-36e12d04.asc - Package authenticity verification: SUSE update packages are available on many mirror FTP servers all over the world. While this service is considered valuable and important to the free and open source software community, the authenticity and the integrity of a package needs to be verified to ensure that it has not been tampered with. The internal rpm package signatures provide an easy way to verify the authenticity of an RPM package. Use the command rpm -v --checksig <file.rpm> to verify the signature of the package, replacing <file.rpm> with the filename of the RPM package downloaded. The package is unmodified if it contains a valid signature from build(a)suse.de with the key ID 9C800ACA. This key is automatically imported into the RPM database (on RPMv4-based distributions) and the gpg key ring of 'root' during installation. You can also find it on the first installation CD and at the end of this announcement. - SUSE runs two security mailing lists to which any interested party may subscribe: opensuse-security(a)opensuse.org - General Linux and SUSE security discussion. All SUSE security announcements are sent to this list. To subscribe, send an e-mail to <opensuse-security+subscribe(a)opensuse.org>. opensuse-security-announce(a)opensuse.org - SUSE's announce-only mailing list.

[security-announce] SUSE Security Announcement: bind (SUSE-SA:2008:033)

The new version of bind uses a random transaction-ID (TRXID) and a random UDP source-port for DNS queries to address DNS cache poisoning attacks possible because of the "birthday paradox" and an attack discovered by Dan Kaminsky. Unfortunately we do not have details about Kaminsky's attack and have to trust the statement that a random UDP source-port is sufficient to stop it. DNS servers that do not support recursive queries or do not use a cache (authoritative only servers) are not vulnerable too. Update packages of bind9 for SLES8 will be available soon. The glibc stub resolver is known to be vulnerable too and we will publish updates as soon as possible. Note, a local attacker can always sniff DNS queries and generate spoofed responses easily. If you use the UDP source-port number of the DNS server in your firewall configuration, for example to let DNS queries through your packetfilter, then you have to take steps to adapt your filter rules to the new behavior of the DNS server. 2) Solution or Work-Around To protect your infrastructure from cache poisoning attacks you should provide two DNS servers. One that is authoritative only and accessible from the Internet to resolve queries for your local systems that are available over the Internet. The other system (caching) is not accessible over the Internet and can be used by internal clients to recursively lookup names and addresses. But we encourage you to install the bind update as soon as possible too. If you use the latest update of pdns-recursor you are not vulnerable to this attack. For the glibc stub resolver bug you can install a local secure DNS for- warder on your machine or make a DNS forwarder available for a protected network. 3) Special Instructions and Notes Please restart the bind daemon after the update. 4) Package Location and Checksums The preferred method for installing security updates is to use the YaST Online Update (YOU) tool. YOU detects which updates are required and automatically performs the necessary steps to verify and install them. Alternatively, download the update packages for your distribution manually and verify their integrity by the methods listed in Section 6 of this announcement. Then install the packages using the command rpm -Fhv <file.rpm> to apply the update, replacing <file.rpm> with the filename of the downloaded RPM package. x86 Platform: openSUSE 11.0: http://download.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/update/11.0/rpm/i586/bind-9.4.2-3… http://download.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/update/11.0/rpm/i586/bind-chroote… http://download.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/update/11.0/rpm/i586/bind-devel-9… http://download.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/update/11.0/rpm/i586/bind-doc-9.4… http://download.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/update/11.0/rpm/i586/bind-libs-9.… http://download.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/update/11.0/rpm/i586/bind-utils-9… openSUSE 10.3: http://download.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/update/10.3/rpm/i586/bind-9.4.1.P… http://download.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/update/10.3/rpm/i586/bind-chroote… http://download.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/update/10.3/rpm/i586/bind-devel-9… http://download.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/update/10.3/rpm/i586/bind-doc-9.4… http://download.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/update/10.3/rpm/i586/bind-libs-9.… http://download.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/update/10.3/rpm/i586/bind-utils-9… openSUSE 10.2: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/update/10.2/rpm/i586/bind-9.3.5P1-0.1.i586.rpm ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/update/10.2/rpm/i586/bind-chrootenv-9.3.5P1-0.1… ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/update/10.2/rpm/i586/bind-devel-9.3.5P1-0.1.i58… ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/update/10.2/rpm/i586/bind-doc-9.3.5P1-0.1.i586.… ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/update/10.2/rpm/i586/bind-libs-9.3.5P1-0.1.i586… ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/update/10.2/rpm/i586/bind-utils-9.3.5P1-0.1.i58… x86-64 Platform: openSUSE 11.0: http://download.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/update/11.0/rpm/x86_64/bind-libs-… openSUSE 10.3: http://download.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/update/10.3/rpm/x86_64/bind-libs-… openSUSE 10.2: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/update/10.2/rpm/x86_64/bind-libs-32bit-9.3.5P1-… Sources: openSUSE 11.0: http://download.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/update/11.0/rpm/src/bind-9.4.2-39… openSUSE 10.3: http://download.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/update/10.3/rpm/src/bind-9.4.1.P1… openSUSE 10.2: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/update/10.2/rpm/src/bind-9.3.5P1-0.1.src.rpm Our maintenance customers are notified individually.

The authenticity and integrity of a SUSE security announcement is guaranteed by a cryptographic signature in each announcement. All SUSE security announcements are published with a valid signature. To verify the signature of the announcement, save it as text into a file and run the command gpg --verify <file> replacing <file> with the name of the file where you saved the announcement. The output for a valid signature looks like: gpg: Signature made <DATE> using RSA key ID 3D25D3D9 gpg: Good signature from "SuSE Security Team <security(a)suse.de>" where <DATE> is replaced by the date the document was signed. If the security team's key is not contained in your key ring, you can import it from the first installation CD. To import the key, use the command gpg --import gpg-pubkey-3d25d3d9-36e12d04.asc - Package authenticity verification: SUSE update packages are available on many mirror FTP servers all over the world. While this service is considered valuable and important to the free and open source software community, the authenticity and the integrity of a package needs to be verified to ensure that it has not been tampered with. The internal rpm package signatures provide an easy way to verify the authenticity of an RPM package. Use the command rpm -v --checksig <file.rpm> to verify the signature of the package, replacing <file.rpm> with the filename of the RPM package downloaded. The package is unmodified if it contains a valid signature from build(a)suse.de with the key ID 9C800ACA. This key is automatically imported into the RPM database (on RPMv4-based distributions) and the gpg key ring of 'root' during installation. You can also find it on the first installation CD and at the end of this announcement. - SUSE runs two security mailing lists to which any interested party may subscribe: opensuse-security(a)opensuse.org - General Linux and SUSE security discussion. All SUSE security announcements are sent to this list. To subscribe, send an e-mail to <opensuse-security+subscribe(a)opensuse.org>. opensuse-security-announce(a)opensuse.org - SUSE's announce-only mailing list.

[security-announce] SUSE Security Announcement: Linux kernel (SUSE-SA:2008:032)

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ______________________________________________________________________________ SUSE Security Announcement Package: kernel Announcement ID: SUSE-SA:2008:032 Date: Mon, 07 Jul 2008 13:00:00 +0000 Affected Products: SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 SP1 SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 SP1 DEBUGINFO SLE SDK 10 SP1 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP1 Vulnerability Type: remote denial of service Severity (1-10): 9 SUSE Default Package: yes Cross-References: CVE-2007-5500, CVE-2007-6151, CVE-2007-6206 CVE-2007-6282, CVE-2008-1367, CVE-2008-1375 CVE-2008-1615, CVE-2008-1669, CVE-2008-2136 Content of This Advisory: 1) Security Vulnerability Resolved: SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 SP1 kernel update Problem Description 2) Solution or Work-Around 3) Special Instructions and Notes 4) Package Location and Checksums 5) Pending Vulnerabilities, Solutions, and Work-Arounds: See SUSE Security Summary Report. 6) Authenticity Verification and Additional Information ______________________________________________________________________________ 1) Problem Description and Brief Discussion The Linux kernel on the SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 Service Pack 1 line of products was updated to fix quite a number of security problems: CVE-2007-6282: A remote attacker could crash the IPSec/IPv6 stack by sending a bad ESP packet. This requires the host to be able to receive such packets (default filtered by the firewall). CVE-2008-2136: A problem in SIT IPv6 tunnel handling could be used by remote attackers to immediately crash the machine. CVE-2008-1615: On x86_64 a denial of service attack could be used by local attackers to immediately panic / crash the machine. CVE-2007-6206: An information leakage during core dumping of root processes was fixed. CVE-2008-1669: Fixed a SMP ordering problem in fcntl_setlk could potentially allow local attackers to execute code by timing file locking. CVE-2008-1375: Fixed a dnotify race condition, which could be used by local attackers to potentially execute code. CVE-2007-5500: A ptrace bug could be used by local attackers to hang their own processes indefinitely. CVE-2008-1367: Clear the "direction" flag before calling signal handlers. For specific not yet identified programs under specific timing conditions this could potentially have caused memory corruption or code execution. CVE-2007-6151: The isdn_ioctl function in isdn_common.c allowed local users to cause a denial of service via a crafted ioctl struct in which ioctls is not null terminated, which triggers a buffer overflow. Non security related changes: OCFS2 was updated to version v1.2.9-1-r3100. Also a huge number of bugs were fixed. Please refer to the RPM changelog for a detailed list. 2) Solution or Work-Around There is no known workaround, please install the update packages. 3) Special Instructions and Notes Please reboot the machine after installing the updated packages. 4) Package Location and Checksums The preferred method for installing security updates is to use the YaST Online Update (YOU) tool. YOU detects which updates are required and automatically performs the necessary steps to verify and install them. Alternatively, download the update packages for your distribution manually and verify their integrity by the methods listed in Section 6 of this announcement. Then install the packages using the command rpm -Fhv <file.rpm> to apply the update, replacing <file.rpm> with the filename of the downloaded RPM package. Our maintenance customers are notified individually. The packages are offered for installation from the maintenance web: SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 SP1 for x86 http://download.novell.com/Download?buildid=m09mrdWRZpM~ SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 SP1 for AMD64 and Intel EM64T http://download.novell.com/Download?buildid=U7wtbOxSX1g~ SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP1 for IPF http://download.novell.com/Download?buildid=ZLLIXEUbai4~ SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP1 for IBM zSeries 64bit http://download.novell.com/Download?buildid=aRmmMdPkwpU~ SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP1 for IBM POWER http://download.novell.com/Download?buildid=oRBxpxzp0qE~ SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP1 for x86 http://download.novell.com/Download?buildid=AGbHIo1l_WU~ SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP1 for AMD64 and Intel EM64T http://download.novell.com/Download?buildid=ZLLIXEUbai4~ SLE SDK 10 SP1 http://download.novell.com/Download?buildid=Gy__uoq8QoU~ http://download.novell.com/Download?buildid=ZEaMi4svxOk~ http://download.novell.com/Download?buildid=Xl-KzHB2TuY~ http://download.novell.com/Download?buildid=cSIon00zNnE~ SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 SP1 DEBUGINFO for IPF http://download.novell.com/Download?buildid=qjOeoP2dqgw~ SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 SP1 DEBUGINFO for IBM zSeries 64bit http://download.novell.com/Download?buildid=b1odyw_iXr0~ SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 SP1 DEBUGINFO for IBM POWER http://download.novell.com/Download?buildid=pPFwlpGrGYY~ SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 SP1 DEBUGINFO for AMD64 and Intel EM64T http://download.novell.com/Download?buildid=gfWoLDN09IY~ SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 SP1 DEBUGINFO for x86 http://download.novell.com/Download?buildid=sfcynron3vY~ ______________________________________________________________________________ 5) Pending Vulnerabilities, Solutions, and Work-Arounds: See SUSE Security Summary Report. ______________________________________________________________________________ 6) Authenticity Verification and Additional Information - Announcement authenticity verification: SUSE security announcements are published via mailing lists and on Web sites. The authenticity and integrity of a SUSE security announcement is guaranteed by a cryptographic signature in each announcement. All SUSE security announcements are published with a valid signature. To verify the signature of the announcement, save it as text into a file and run the command gpg --verify <file> replacing <file> with the name of the file where you saved the announcement. The output for a valid signature looks like: gpg: Signature made <DATE> using RSA key ID 3D25D3D9 gpg: Good signature from "SuSE Security Team <security(a)suse.de>" where <DATE> is replaced by the date the document was signed. If the security team's key is not contained in your key ring, you can import it from the first installation CD. To import the key, use the command gpg --import gpg-pubkey-3d25d3d9-36e12d04.asc - Package authenticity verification: SUSE update packages are available on many mirror FTP servers all over the world. While this service is considered valuable and important to the free and open source software community, the authenticity and the integrity of a package needs to be verified to ensure that it has not been tampered with. The internal rpm package signatures provide an easy way to verify the authenticity of an RPM package. Use the command rpm -v --checksig <file.rpm> to verify the signature of the package, replacing <file.rpm> with the filename of the RPM package downloaded. The package is unmodified if it contains a valid signature from build(a)suse.de with the key ID 9C800ACA. This key is automatically imported into the RPM database (on RPMv4-based distributions) and the gpg key ring of 'root' during installation. You can also find it on the first installation CD and at the end of this announcement. - SUSE runs two security mailing lists to which any interested party may subscribe: opensuse-security(a)opensuse.org - General Linux and SUSE security discussion. All SUSE security announcements are sent to this list. To subscribe, send an e-mail to <opensuse-security+subscribe(a)opensuse.org>. opensuse-security-announce(a)opensuse.org - SUSE's announce-only mailing list. Only SUSE's security announcements are sent to this list. To subscribe, send an e-mail to <opensuse-security-announce+subscribe(a)opensuse.org>. ===================================================================== SUSE's security contact is <security(a)suse.com> or <security(a)suse.de>. The <security(a)suse.de> public key is listed below. ===================================================================== ______________________________________________________________________________ The information in this advisory may be distributed or reproduced, provided that the advisory is not modified in any way.
