Draft announcement:
- DRAFT - XXX - DRAFT -
fetchmail-SA-2010-02: Denial of service in debug mode w/ multichar locales
Topics: Denial of service in debug output.
Author: Matthias Andree
Version: 0.1 XXX
Announced: XXX
Type: malloc() Buffer overrun with printable characters
Impact: Denial of service.
Danger: low
CVE Name: CVE-2010-XXXX
CVSSv2: XXX
URL: http://www.fetchmail.info/fetchmail-SA-2010-02.txt
Project URL: http://www.fetchmail.info/
Affects: fetchmail releases 4.6.3 up to and including 6.3.16
Not affected: fetchmail release 6.3.17 and newer
Corrected: 2010-04-18 Git (XXX)
0. Release history
==================
2010-04-18 0.1 first draft (visible in SVN and through oss-security)
XXX
1. Background
=============
fetchmail is a software package to retrieve mail from remote POP2, POP3,
IMAP, ETRN or ODMR servers and forward it to local SMTP, LMTP servers or
message delivery agents. It supports SSL and TLS security layers through
the OpenSSL library, if enabled at compile time and if also enabled at
run time.
2. Problem description and Impact
=================================
In debug mode (-v -v), fetchmail prints information that was obtained from
the
upstream server (POP3 UIDL lists) or from message headers retrieved from
it.
If printing such information fails, for instance because there are
invalid
multibyte character sequences in this information (message headers),
fetchmail
will misinterpret this condition, and believe that the buffer was too
small,
and reallocate a bigger one (with linearly increasing buffer size), and
repeat,
until the allocation fails. At that point, fetchmail will abort.
Note that the "Affects:" line above may be inaccurate, and it may be that
versions before 5.6.6 are actually unaffected. The author was unable to
compile such old fetchmail versions to verify the existence of the bug.
Given that other security issues are present in such versions, those
should
not be used, and the wider version range was listed as vulnerable to err
towards the safe.
3. Solution
===========
There are two alternatives, either of them by itself is sufficient:
a. Apply the patch found in section B of this announcement to
fetchmail 6.3.14 or newer, recompile and reinstall it.
b. Install fetchmail 6.3.17 or newer after it will have become available.
The fetchmail source code is always available from
<http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1824>.
4. Workaround
=============
Run fetchmail with at most one -v (--verbose) option.

or strip them manually. You may want to use the "-p1" flag to patch.

Some packages, such as openssh, do explicitly specify a UID/GID when creating
its users/groups:
/usr/sbin/groupadd -g 65 -o -r sshd 2>/dev/null || :;
On the other hand, the hal package does not:
/usr/sbin/groupadd -r haldaemon 2>/dev/null || :
So, which is correct? Should not hal also use a fixed ID? There are many
packages belonging to the latter category.

Whenever i tried to setup a chroot environment with OpenSSH the security
settings for the user folder must be root or OpenSSH doesn't work, the only
solution for now is to either create subfolders in the users chroot folder
where the user can have write permissions or land them one step up in the
hierarchy and thus making them see other chroot folder which is not good.
I followed this Wiki page to the letter:
http://en.opensuse.org/Openssh#SFTP_chroot_with_ChrootDirectory
I have Swedish community users trying to set this up to with same result as me.
This thread takes up the same issue:
http://marc.info/?l=openssh-unix-dev&m=122640731518850&w=2
But the solution mentioned there is not acceptable because as it stats on the
Wiki you make one folder the chroot folder and then mapping the users home
folder relative to the chroot folder, in this scenario the users should get
write permissions to his own folder, but that is not possible, thus breaking
the functionality intended.
So the question is, is this a bug or is it designed to act like this?
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Done accordingly to this wiki entry: http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSSH
Actual Results:
Gets a read only home folder root
Expected Results:
Getting a writable home folder, where they can create on folder and upload
files directly to the root of their home folder.

With the pam module pam_nologin in use, all non-root logins are supposed to be
prevented if the file /etc/nologin exists.
SSH fails to prevent user logins if /etc/nologin exists and the user
authenticates with a key. Authentications with a password are successfully
prevented, as expected.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add pam_nologin to /etc/pam.d/login:
auth requisite pam_nologin.so
2. Create /etc/nologin
3. Log in via SSH with a password. Login will be correctly prevented.
4. Log in via SSH with a key. Login is successful.
Actual Results:
SSH login with a key is not prevented by pam_nologin.
Expected Results:
SSH login with a key should be prevented by pam_nologin when /etc/nologin is
present.

(Found in current version of SLES10 SP2, rrdtool-1.2.12-13.2)
Specific values (like all between 17.7 and 17.8) cause rrdtool's graph to
autoscale the values at a range of 10 to 20, making actual variations
practically invisible. There are other intervals where similar problems arise,
like [42.0:42.2] where the scale is [40:50].
The --alt-autoscale improves the scaling, but has a problem with not enough
numeric labels for the y-axis being shown, just as --rigid does.
The author of the tool said the current version is much better regarding those
issues.
Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create graphs with automatic scaling where the values vary a little bit
around some undetermined value
Actual Results:
Some graphs are not good enough to show the variations.
Expected Results:
The vertical scale should respect the range of values more that it currently
does.

Sometimes, the RPM database is broken. Than, when you try to install packages
with YaST, you get some complicate error messages like
Subprocess failed. Error: RPM fallido: error: db4 error(-30987) from

error: error(-30987) getting "" records from Requireversion index
Executing 'rpm --rebuilddb' fixes the problem, but that's not user friendly.
It would be great if libzypper could the this automatically when it notices
that there are problems with the RPM database.

We are trying to adopt the static libraries packaging scheme described on
http://en.opensuse.org/Packaging/Guidelines#Packaging_Static_Libraries
By adding rpmlint check we will enforce the correct packaging.
rpmlint should check whether the package contains *.{a,la} files and perform
these steps:
a) package contains *.la files, does not contain *.a files
-> throw error suggesting the packager to remove *.la files in %install
phase
b) package contains only *.la and *.a files
-> check if the name ends with "-devel-static", throw error otherwise,
suggesting the rename
c) package contains *.la, *.a files AND *.so files (and probably some includes)
-> check if the name ends with "-devel" AND package also provides
"-devel-static" symbol, throw error otherwise, suggesting the addition of
symbol
-> also point out that packager has to be sure that static libraries are
absolutely needed in the system. If not the package should be built with
--disable-static and *.la files removed in %install phase
