how to keep nimda and code red from filling apache logs
by Mathias Homann 25 Sep '03

25 Sep '03

Hi all, here's a bit of a step-by-step description on how to keep nimda and codered from filling your apache logs. Parts used: - SuSE 7.2 Professional - SuSEfirewall2 - iptables 1.2.3 - linux kernel 2.4.13-pre5 steps: 1. install kernel sources for a kernel >> 2.4.9, running 2.4.13- pre5 here, works fine so far 2. get the sources for iptables 1.2.3 from http://netfilter.samba.org 3. unpack sources somewhere 4. export KERNEL_DIR=$(where you put the kernel tree) 5. cd into unpacked iptables sources, there's a subdirectory named patch-o-matic there 6. apply wanted patches by running ./runme $(name.of.patch)patch for this here You'll want the string patch You can also apply other patches, like the irc-conntrack patch 7. now there's a little bug in this patch... here's a diff: --- linux/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_string.c~ Sun Oct 21 00:16:29 2001 +++ linux/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_string.c Sun Oct 21 16:54:45 2001 @@ -62,7 +62,7 @@ sk = skip[haystack[right_end - i]]; sh = shift[i]; - right_end = max(int, right_end - i + sk, right_end + sh); + right_end = max(right_end - i + sk, right_end + sh); } return NULL; 8. now, make config/menuconfig/xconfig... as usual. You can import your running kernel's config first. 9. enable the experimental stuff 10. go to networking options->netfilter, there's an option there to enable string matching; set that to M 11. compile and install kernel as usual; remember to uncomment the export INSTALL_PATH=/boot in the main makefile. 12. now build a rpm file for the new iptables stuff by installing the source rpm which comes with suse, then edit the spec file, put the iptables source in /usr/src/packages/SOURCE and rebuild. 13. now there are some small changes to the firewall config files. a) uncomment the last line in /etc/rc.config.d/firewall2.rc.config: FW_CUSTOMRULES="/etc/rc.config.d/firewall2-custom.rc.config" b) edit that file, I got the following stuff in mine: for forbidden_string in root.exe cmd.exe .ida; do iptables -I input_ext -p tcp --dport http -m string \ --string $forbidden_string -m state \ --state ESTABLISHED -j REJECT --reject-with tcp-reset done put that in the last supfunction defined in the custom rc file. c) change the FW_LOG setting in firewall2.rc.config from reading -log-level warning to -log-level kernel.warning 14. last: some small changes to /sbin/SuSEfirewall2 search in the script for the parts where the modules are loaded and unloaded; be sure to add ipt_string (and the other new modules you created by patching the kernel and enabling them in make config) to the modules loading/unloading code there. 15. reboot 16. if you try now to access (from outside, of course) one of the nimda or codered URLS, all you get is a 'connection reset by peer', and the request doesn't show in apache log files. btw, no guarantees, and the usual YMMV :) bye [L]

suse samba server
by jonathan 23 Jan '03

23 Jan '03

Hello I have basically a suse samba server setup. Eth0 is for the internet connection (cable). Eth1 is my internal network. I use eth1 for my samba server. When i have the shares/ drive letters mapped, whatever, Ill goto access them and that computer will just lockup or timeout for about 1 minute, then it will resume operation normally. I have approx. 5 comptuers on the suse server, and they all do this from windows xp to windows 98se. I am using set up addresses of 192.168.0.x, where is greater than 2. My question is have or is there something Ive setup wrong to cause this pause to occur. ? Its becomming very annoying..and frustrating. Im using kernel 2.4.18-64GB-SMP with a dual processor setup. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. Every package installed is orginal versions from the suse install cdroms. (no updates done). Anything come to mind. btw, ive replaced the switch, with a new netgear one, and all the networks at startech ST100 Realtek 8139 chipsets on 100Tx. Anyone... !

Urgggggg!!! SuSEFirewall2 is getting on my nerves!!!!!
by Chris Bek 08 Jan '03

08 Jan '03

Hi there SuSErs... Well I must be doing something really wrong because everything that I do with SuSEFirewall2 is just not working! I have a small network with 5 PCs (all Win9X) and a Linux box (Currently SuSE 7.3) acting as a server. The server is a DHCP server and a Samba server for the entire network. So far everything is working perfect!!! Users log on the network, logon script executes etc.... Then a new task came up: let's input the internet into the network. Configured a 56Kbps modem on the server with YAST. Manged to get my account setup and running. Made a test connection and netscape works great on the server as well as e-mail (pop3). I tried configuring SuSEfirewall to manage all incoming requests from the PCs of the network. The firewall warned me about masquerading etc. so I downloaded the latest version of SuSEfirewall2 from the internet and installed it. Since I only need direct masquerading to be done (no proxies are currently working on the net) I made all the necessary changes as outlined in the examples supplied with the software. Since I needed to have Samba to keep working on the network, I opened (among others) 139 port for samba to work. Double checked all the changes that I have made and run rcSuSEfirewall2 to see what happens. Strange enough when wvdial executes it tells me that DNS is not functioning properly since www.suse.com cannot be found (or something like that please forgive me I am away from the Linux station now). Further on, when I open mIRC or other like programs (winmx etc) from a station, I look at the activity of IPtraf (I check this to see what happens) and I see no connections being created whatsoever.... mIRC prompts me that there was an error trying to find the host.... I have made no changes to the Win9X PCs. Is there something that I am forgeting to do?? I undestand that it is impossible for all of you to react to this since I have no output of the SuSEfirewall.conf file being published to this message.... I understand. Can someone please send me their configuration file so I can see what you have done, on a system that currently is working fine?? In addition, is there something that I have to do regarding route or routing?? What about the Win9X PCs?? Is there something that I have to do there?? I thank you so very much for all your help is advance!!!! I am killing myself trying to figure this one out for about 2 weeks now and managed nothing more than thin air!!!!! Chris

SSH Authentication
by Joao Reis 18 Nov '02

18 Nov '02

Hi! I implemented a ssh conection from the outside to my intranet. This ssh requires a username and a password. In terms of security what is more secure: require authentication (username and password) or having the public key of each user that connects to our intranet in the authorized public key lists (in this case there is no need for username and password)? In the second case there is no need of authentication and only the users wich have the public keys in the list are allowed to enter in my intranet. This second solution is a good solution or that brings other security problems ? Thanks. -- Farewell. "Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer." "Do or do not.

initiate personal firewall and apply config files
by Susan Buczak 03 Oct '02

03 Oct '02

3 items; how does one go about initiating the personal-firewall the first time for suse8.0? Yast2 will start configuration for suseFirewall2 but there isn't any source help for initiating the personal firewall. calling it from /sbin does nothing. Second, I need to configure certain /etc files, for instance I want only certain local users in access.conf. When I make the changes the system doesn't recognize that the files have been changed. Likewise I tried setting su to group wheel for admin only and chmod to 4750 so only wheel can use it, and on reboot it allows everyone to attempt login again, it reset itself. thanks, Susan

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- ______________________________________________________________________________ SuSE Security Announcement Package: heimdal Announcement-ID: SuSE-SA:2002:034 Date: Mon Sep 30 17:00:00 CEST 2002 Affected products: SuSE Linux 7.2, 7.3, 8.0, SuSE eMail Server, SuSE Linux Connectivity Server, SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 7, SuSE Linux Office Server Vulnerability Type: remote command execution Severity (1-10): 8 SuSE default package: Yes Cross References: http://www.pdc.kth.se/heimdal Content of this advisory: 1) security vulnerability resolved: Various overflows in heimdal. problem description, discussion, solution and upgrade information 2) pending vulnerabilities, solutions, workarounds: - ghostview/kghostview - fetchmail 3) standard appendix (further information) ______________________________________________________________________________ 1) problem description, brief discussion, solution, upgrade information The Heimdal package is a free Kerberos implementation offering flexible authentication mechanisms based on the Kerberos 5 and Kerberos 4 scheme. The SuSE Security Team has reviewed critical parts of the Heimdal package such as the kadmind and kdc server. While doing so several possible buffer overflows and other bugs have been uncovered and fixed. Remote attackers can probably gain remote root access on unpatched systems. Since these services run usually on authentication servers we consider these bugs to be very serious. An update is strongly recommended if you are using the Heimdal package. 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. To be sure the update takes effect you have to restart the services which belong to the heimdal package. As root execute the command /etc/rc.d/kdc restart If you are running other Kerberos based services such as hpropd make sure you also restart them as well. i386 Intel Platform: SuSE-8.0 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.0/d4/heimdal-devel-0.4e-191.i386.… 9dcb318864c2ad7c8bb11a51b0c1e12a ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.0/sec1/heimdal-lib-0.4e-191.i386.… 7971b5a482b0f8521c0a8bd07182be36 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.0/sec3/heimdal-0.4e-191.i386.rpm fb6792204a9ec58f69a9dc7b4bcbed59 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.0/zq1/heimdal-0.4e-191.src.rpm 976383f4b7eeabcfc48ab4360a14586f SuSE-7.3 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.3/sec2/heimdal-0.4d-132.i386.rpm d2f174640a8d3b976eef3ff3afb642ee ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.3/sec2/heimdal-devel-0.4d-132.i38… fad86035d9b94aa50a9225c9e40618da source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.3/zq1/heimdal-0.4d-132.src.rpm 5d3afb07af86563e5eff5f0fad6113d4 SuSE-7.2 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.2/sec1/heimdal-lib-0.3e-83.i386.r… 7a5f3f3e1c16481b6dea589bedd7ee44 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.2/sec2/heimdal-0.3e-83.i386.rpm f94d2a88a2100b2b28496b1a8f3030c4 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.2/sec2/heimdal-devel-0.3e-83.i386… d4fa5f75cb1d422fe439a276fdfe8aca source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.2/zq1/heimdal-0.3e-83.src.rpm a42a3535e0bd5966eb8b9d017213dfb5 Sparc Platform: SuSE-7.3 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/sparc/update/7.3/sec1/heimdal-lib-0.4d-67.sparc… c50802492db0e8728d666f3b38b7ca5e ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/sparc/update/7.3/sec2/heimdal-0.4d-67.sparc.rpm 595d21ca05b8c886c0887189bb76487d ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/sparc/update/7.3/sec2/heimdal-devel-0.4d-67.spa… 1dfe9d49c83303ddf3490497dffce7fa source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/sparc/update/7.3/zq1/heimdal-0.4d-67.src.rpm 7c61896ca257f79656e35bc59e1de734 PPC Power PC Platform: SuSE-7.3 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/update/7.3/sec1/heimdal-lib-0.4d-113.ppc.rpm e905e8c468b9eddef6b8a785d5241914 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/update/7.3/sec2/heimdal-0.4d-113.ppc.rpm 7b816aa786118e481be811be6974177f ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/update/7.3/sec2/heimdal-devel-0.4d-113.ppc.… 100f9fbe35d82dcf02aed98aa70103b8 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/update/7.3/zq1/heimdal-0.4d-113.src.rpm 24467d712a359516ae60462c56dc97df ______________________________________________________________________________ 2) Pending vulnerabilities in SuSE Distributions and Workarounds: - ghostview/kghostview Bufferoverflows have recently been discovered in these packages. They allow attackers to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user viewing special crafted documents created by the attacker. New packgaes will soon be available on our ftp servers. - fetchmail Fetchmail contains remotely exploitable overflows in the mail header parsing functions. In depth discussion of these problems can be found at http://security.e-matters.de/advisories/032002.html. New packages will soon be available on our ftp servers. ______________________________________________________________________________ 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 <name-of-the-file.rpm> 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(a)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 <file.rpm> to verify the signature of the package, where <file.rpm> is the filename of the rpm package that you have downloaded. Of course, package authenticity verification can only target an un-installed 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(a)suse.de" upon installation or upgrade, provided that the package gpg is installed. The file containing the public key is placed at the top-level directory of the first CD (pubring.gpg) and at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/pubring.gpg-build.suse.de . - SuSE runs two security mailing lists to which any interested party may subscribe: suse-security(a)suse.com - general/linux/SuSE security discussion.

SuSE Security Announcement: glibc (SuSE-SA:2002:031)
by Roman Drahtmueller 02 Oct '02

02 Oct '02

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- ______________________________________________________________________________ SuSE Security Announcement Package: glibc Announcement-ID: SuSE-SA:2002:031 Date: Friday, Aug 30th 2002 19:00 MEST Affected products: 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 8.0 SuSE Linux Database Server, SuSE eMail Server III, SuSE Linux Enterprise Server, SuSE Linux Firewall on CD SuSE Linux Connectivity Server SuSE Linux Office Server Vulnerability Type: local/remote privilege escalation Severity (1-10): 6 SuSE default package: yes Cross References: CAN-2002-0391, CERT CA-2002-25 Content of this advisory: 1) security vulnerability resolved: glibc problem description, discussion, solution and upgrade information 2) pending vulnerabilities, solutions, workarounds: - ethereal 3) standard appendix (further information) ______________________________________________________________________________ 1) problem description, brief discussion, solution, upgrade information An integer overflow has been discovered in the xdr_array() function, contained in the Sun Microsystems RPC/XDR library, which is part of the glibc library package on all SuSE products. This overflow allows a remote attacker to overflow a buffer, leading to remote execution of arbitrary code supplied by the attacker. There is no temporary workaround for this security problem other than disabling all RPC based server and client programs. The permanent solution is to update the glibc packages with the update packages listed below. Notes, Special installation instructions: * The update packages for the SuSE Linux distributions 7.0 and 7.1 have not been built yet. The packages for these distributions will be published in approximately two weeks (mid September) from now. * The names of both the source RPM as well as the binary RPM (sub-) packages have changed between different SuSE Linux products. Overview: dist | source-RPM | shared libs | static libs,header| profiling ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 7.0 libc shlibs libc libd all SuSE products after and including SuSE Linux 7.1 glibc glibc glibc-devel glibc-profile Find out which of the four packages are installed on your system according to the package names in the table. Use the command rpm -q name_of_package to query the package database for each name. If you have your package list, download the packages that you need from the URLs as listed below. Verify their integrity and authenticity following the guidelines as described in section 3) of this security announcement. * PRECAUTIONS The shared libraries package of the glibc is the most sensitive part of a running Linux system, and modifications to it should be handled with special care. During the update of the shlibs/glibc package, runtime-linking the shared libraries is likely to fail for processes that execute a new binary with the execve(2) system call. Therefore, we recommend to bring a system to single user mode ("init S") to perform the package update. If this is not applicable for operational reasons, a system receiving the update should be kept as quiet as possible (no shell scripts of any kind, no cron jobs, no incoming email). * After performing the update, you should run the following command on your system: /sbin/ldconfig ldconfig will rebuild the runtime linker cache. If you use YOU (Yast2 Online Update), the ldconfig command will be executed automatically at the end of the update. The shared libraries that were installed on the system before the update have been removed from the filesystem, but they are still in use by the running applications. Therefore, the diskspace as well as the memory will not be freed until the last process that uses these files exits. We recommend to reboot the system to workaround this problem. Listed below you find the URLs for the update packages for the SuSE Linux products. We only list the packages that are relevant for the security update. Our maintenance customers are being notified individually. The packages are being offered to install from the maintenance web.

We have provided update packages on our ftp server that upgrade the ethereal package to the latest version 0.9.6. A backport of the security fixes to the versions supplied in the released SuSE Linux products does not seem feasible. We will not release an own announcement for this specific problem. - postgresql A buffer overflow has been found in the postgresql database management system. We are about to prepare update packages for this vulnerability. - openldap2 Andrew McCall reported a problem within the openldap2 package which could lead to a denial of service attack against the slapd server. This problem has been fixed. New openldap2 packages will soon be available. ______________________________________________________________________________ 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 <name-of-the-file.rpm> 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(a)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 <file.rpm> to verify the signature of the package, where <file.rpm> is the filename of the rpm package that you have downloaded. Of course, package authenticity verification can only target an un-installed 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(a)suse.de" upon installation or upgrade, provided that the package gpg is installed. The file containing the public key is placed at the top-level directory of the first CD (pubring.gpg) and at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/pubring.gpg-build.suse.de . - SuSE runs two security mailing lists to which any interested party may subscribe: suse-security(a)suse.com - general/linux/SuSE security discussion. All SuSE security announcements are sent to this list. To subscribe, send an email to <suse-security-subscribe(a)suse.com>. suse-security-announce(a)suse.com - SuSE's announce-only mailing list.

This is even better then social engineering (ok, maybe its exactly that). Ask for a mouse and get the whole elephant. The only thing i missed was a short excerpt from some of your logs with your ip's in it :O), so would i've to check it for myself. > Dr. H.

Re: [suse-security] chgrp su to wheel * yes!
by Susan Buczak 30 Sep '02

Yes! that works, then I re-ran security in yast and it's holding... even after reboot... making progress finally... now let me try adjusting access.conf... maybe there is a Suse replacement for doing the same thing? I haven't found one... I've only had the system up for a week, mostly only been cringing at it because of the aforementioned items... I do have better trojan coverage here than in redhat if all goes well I think... kind of my interest in it... but now that I have su set only to admin I need to block root/admin user login from remote access completely...
