Package: kmulti <= 1.1.2
Date: Mon May 29 17:44:28 MEST 2000
Affected SuSE versions: 6.1-6.4
Vulnerability Type: local root compromise
SuSE default package: no
Other affected systems: all unix systems using kdemultimedia and
setting kscd setgid disk
______________________________________________________________________________
A security hole was discovered in the package mentioned above.
Please update it as soon as possible or disable the service if you are using
this software on your SuSE Linux installation(s).
Other Linux distributions or operating systems might be affected as
well, please contact your vendor for information about this issue.

_____________________________________________________________________________
1. Problem Description
The KDE CD player kscd is setgid disk to be able to access the device
file of the CDROM.
To perform some action kscd calls the unix command shell specified in
the environment variable SHELL with the privileges of group disk.
2. Impact
An adversary could set SHELL to his own program to get local root
access to the system by writing directly to the raw HDD device.
3. Solution
Update the package from our FTP server.
______________________________________________________________________________
Please verify these md5 checksums of the updates before installing:
(For SuSE 6.0, please use the 6.1 updates)

SuSE Security Announcement
Package: gdm <= 2.0beta4-25
Date: Wed May 24 08:35:39 CET 2000
Affected SuSE versions: 6.2-6.4
Vulnerability Type: remote compromise
SuSE default package: no
Other affected systems: all linux systems using gdm <= 2.0beta4
______________________________________________________________________________
A security hole was discovered in the package mentioned above.
Please update it as soon as possible or disable the service if you are using
this software on your SuSE Linux installation(s).
Other Linux distributions or operating systems might be affected as
well, please contact your vendor for information about this issue.
Please note that we provide this information on an "as-is" basis only.
There is no warranty whatsoever and no liability for any direct, indirect or
incidental damage arising from this information or the installation of
the update package.
_____________________________________________________________________________
1. Problem Description
The GNOME package includes a xdm replacement called gdm for handling
graphical console and network logins.
The gdm code, that process' logins over the network, could be tricked
into writing data from the network right into the stack. This condition
exists while gdm is running with root privileges and before the user is
authenticated.
2. Impact
An remote adversary could crash gdm or execute his own code, which
leads to root compromise of the system running gdm.
3. Solution
By default gdm doesn't accept login connection from the network.
Older SuSE releases, which include gdm 1.x, allow network logins
by default but aren't vulnerable by this bug.
If you need the network login feature of gdm, update the package
from our FTP server, please.
______________________________________________________________________________
Please verify these md5 checksums of the updates before installing:
(For SuSE 6.0, please use the 6.1 updates)

The original announcement pointed to update rpms which were old and did
*NOT* fix the vulnerabilities.
We apologize for this mistake.

SuSE Security Announcement
Package: aaabase < 2000.5.2
Date: Tue May 2 21:56:21 CEST 2000
Affected SuSE versions: all
Vulnerability Type: remove any local file(s)
executing attacker supplied commands as non-root
SuSE default package: yes
Other affected systems: unknown
______________________________________________________________________________
A security hole was discovered in the package mentioned above.
Please update as soon as possible or disable the service if you are using
this software on your SuSE Linux installation(s).
Other Linux distributions or operating systems might be affected as
well, please contact your vendor for information about this issue.
Please note that we provide this information on an "as-is" basis only.
There is no warranty whatsoever and no liability for any direct, indirect or
incidental damage arising from this information or the installation of
the update package.
_____________________________________________________________________________
1. Problem Description
aaa_base is the basic package which comes with any SuSE Linux installation.
Two vulnerabilities have been found:
1) The cron job /etc/cron.daily/aaa_base does a daily checking of files in
/tmp and /var/tmp, where old files will be deleted if configured to do so.
Please note this this feature is NOT activated by default
2) Some system accounts have their homedirectories set to /tmp by default.
These are the users games, firewall, wwwrun and nobody on a SuSE 6.4.
2. Impact
1) If the /tmp cleanup is activated, any file or directory can be deleted
by any local user
2) If an attacker creates dot files in /tmp (e.g. bash profiles), these
might be executed if someone uses e.g. "su - nobody" to switch to the
nobody user. This can lead to a compromise of that userid.
This vulnerability is present in several other unix systems as well -
please check all!
3. Solution
1) Update the package from our FTP server.
2) The root user will receive a email with the accounts listed which have
a homedirectory in /tmp. You have to fix this by hand, because some
installations might break if they rely on information saved in the (unsafe)
/tmp homedirectory.
The email will give more information what to do.
