Please respond ASAP. The issue is public. Factory only sufficient ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Sun, 18 Apr 2010 18:58:30 +0200 From: "Matthias Andree" <matthias.andree(a)gmx.de> Subject: [oss-security] CVE request: fetchmail 4.6.3...6.3.16 DoS in -v -v mode in multibyte locales on invalid input Please assign a CVE id for the issue described below. (Best viewed in non-proportional font with 8 space tabs): 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.

[Bug 921570] New: after dist upgrade system boots to emergency mode

http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=921570 Bug ID: 921570 Summary: after dist upgrade system boots to emergency mode Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: 13.2 Hardware: x86-64 OS: SUSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel Assignee: kernel-maintainers(a)forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: steffen.hau(a)rz.uni-mannheim.de QA Contact: qa-bugs(a)suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- I've started upgrading systems from openSUSE 13.1 to 13.2. Virtual machines without special stuff like mdadm raid devices oder multipathed FC LUN's went fine. But systems (IBM HS22 Blades) with mdadm raid devices are booting to emergency mode. The systems have three raid 1 devices (swap, / and /srv or /home), swap and / are correctly assembled but the third md device is missing and it also does not appear in /proc/mdstat. Manually running "mdadm -A --scan" brings it up and "systemctl default" continues booting. To dig deeper into this issue, I've installed openSUSE 13.2 from scratch on a spare blade and here md2 is correctly assembled. This is the content of /etc/systemd/system/ of the upgraded system: /etc/systemd/system/dbus-org.opensuse.Network.AUTO4.service /etc/systemd/system/dbus-org.opensuse.Network.DHCP4.service /etc/systemd/system/dbus-org.opensuse.Network.DHCP6.service /etc/systemd/system/dbus-org.opensuse.Network.Nanny.service /etc/systemd/system/default.target /etc/systemd/system/default.target.wants/sysstat.service /etc/systemd/system/default.target.wants/systemd-readahead-collect.service /etc/systemd/system/default.target.wants/systemd-readahead-replay.service /etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty(a)tty1.service /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/acpid.service /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/apache2.service /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/auditd.service /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/cron.service /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/dsmc.service /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/irqbalance.service /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/mcelog.service /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/ntpd.service /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/postfix.service /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/remote-fs.target /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/smartd.service /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/sshd.service /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/syslog-ng.service /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/wicked.service /etc/systemd/system/network-online.target.wants/wicked.service /etc/systemd/system/network.service /etc/systemd/system/sysinit.target.wants/multipathd.service /etc/systemd/system/syslog.service /etc/systemd/system/system-update.target.wants/systemd-readahead-drop.service /etc/systemd/system/timers.target.wants/logrotate.timer /etc/systemd/system/wickedd.service.wants/wickedd-auto4.service /etc/systemd/system/wickedd.service.wants/wickedd-dhcp4.service /etc/systemd/system/wickedd.service.wants/wickedd-dhcp6.service /etc/systemd/system/wickedd.service.wants/wickedd-nanny.service /etc/systemd/system/wicked.service.wants/wickedd.service I've made the scratch system identical to the problematic system (identical installed packages, conf files in /etc, active systemd services, and so on) and it still assembles md2.
