SuSE Security Announcement
Package: rsync
Announcement-ID: SuSE-SA:2002:004
Date: Fri Jan 25 17:00:00 CET 2002
Affected SuSE versions: 6.4, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3
Vulnerability Type: remote command executionn
Severity (1-10): 7
SuSE default package: no
Other affected systems: All systems with vulnerable rsync.
Content of this advisory:
1) security vulnerability resolved: rsync negative array indexing
problem description, discussion, solution and upgrade information
2) pending vulnerabilities, solutions, workarounds
3) standard appendix (further information)
______________________________________________________________________________
1) problem description, brief discussion, solution, upgrade information
The rsync program allows users and administrators to synchronize files and
whole directory structures on different machines. It is common practise
to allow remote users to mirror ftp servers via anonymous rsync access.
There exist several signedness bugs within the rsync program which allow
remote attackers to write 0-bytes to almost arbitrary stack-locations,
therefore being able to control the programflow and obtaining a shell
remotely. These bugs have been fixed.
It is recommended (also stated in the rsync documentation) to use the
"use chroot" option in rsyncd's configuration file (/etc/rsyncd.conf)
to limit the impact of a possible attack. Since this workaround does
not completely solve the security problem, we recommend to update the
package as described below.
We want to express our gratitude to Andrew Tridgell and Martin Pool,
the rsync authors and maintainers, for their excellent cooperation in
this matter.
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.
To be sure that the update takes effect, kill any existing instances of
the rsync-program.
In case you run rsync via the inetd superserver, you do not need to
restart any of your services. Inetd will automatically use the new binary.
If you used run your rsync-service with the "rsync --daemon" command,
restart your rsync with "rync --daemon" again, this time using the new
binary.

2) Pending vulnerabilities in SuSE Distributions and Workarounds:
- pine
The popular mail client "pine" was found vulnerable to an attack where
shell metacharacters inside an URL could be used to execute arbitrary
commands if pine passes the URL to an external viewer on the
commandline. The pine packages on SuSE products are not vulnerable to
this weakness because they contain a patch that works around this
problem since it is not new.
- xchat
We are working on updates for the xchat packages in the SuSE Linux
7.0 and 7.1 distributions that are vulnerable to an encoding bug
while receiving and decoding ctcp datagrams. This bug can lead
an xchat IRC client to execute IRC protocol specific commands to an
IRC server such as channel mode changes.
______________________________________________________________________________
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 uninstalled 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 toplevel directory of the first CD (pubring.gpg)
and at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/pubring.gpg-build.suse.de .

SuSE Security Announcement
Package: at
Announcement-ID: SuSE-SA:2002:003
Date: Wednesday, Jan 16th 2001 16:00 MET
Affected SuSE versions: 6.4, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3
Vulnerability Type: local privilege escalation
Severity (1-10): 5
SuSE default package: yes
Other affected systems: most Linux systems with the at package
installed
Content of this advisory:
1) security vulnerability resolved: at
problem description, discussion, solution and upgrade information
2) pending vulnerabilities, solutions, workarounds
3) standard appendix (further information)
______________________________________________________________________________
1) problem description, brief discussion, solution, upgrade information
The 'at' command reads commands from standard input for execution at a
later time specified on the command line. If such an execution time is
given in a carefully drafted (but wrong) format, the at command may
crash as a result of a surplus call to free(). The cause of the crash
is a heap corruption that is exploitable under certain circumstances
since the /usr/bin/at command is installed setuid root.
A temporary workaround against the bug is to disable the at command for
non-root users by removing the setuid-bit from the /usr/bin/at command.
As a permanent solution it is recommended to install the update packages
as listed for download below. In addition to the fixed heap corruption,
file handling security has been improved by adding the O_EXCL (exclusive)
option to an open(2) system call inside the at(1) code. We thank
zen-parse for reporting this vulnerability.
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.

2) Pending vulnerabilities in SuSE Linux Distributions and Workarounds:
- clanlib
dotslash(a)snosoft.com reported an environment variable copying buffer
overflow in the clanlib package. If a program that is linked against
the clanlib shared library is installed setuid or setgid, this error
may lead to elevated privileges. In the case of SuSE Linux distributions,
this is only the case for the methane package: It comes installed with a
setgid bit to group "game", which is used to store highscores in group-
writeable files. This setgid bit will be cleared in future releases of
the SuSE Linux distribution. For already installed "methane" packages,
we recommend to remove the setgid bit with the command
chmod -s /usr/X11R6/bin/methane
The methane package is not installed on SuSE systems by default, nor is
the defective library "clanlib".
- thttpd
The thttpd daemon contained several off-by-one overflows. Due to internal
organization of the variables affected by these overflows, they seem
not exploitable. However, these bugs have been fixed. Please update to
the newest thttpd packages.
- pine
The popular mail client "pine" was found vulnerable to an attack where
shell metacharacters inside an URL could be used to execute arbitrary
commands if pine passes the URL to an external viewer on the
commandline. The pine packages on SuSE products are not vulnerable to
this weakness because they contain a patch that works around this
problem since it is not new.
- xchat
We are working on updates for the xchat packages in the SuSE Linux
7.0 and 7.1 distributions that are vulnerable to an encoding bug
while receiving and decoding ctcp datagrams. This bug can lead
an xchat IRC client to execute IRC protocol specific commands to an
IRC server such as channel mode changes.

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 uninstalled 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 toplevel directory of the first CD (pubring.gpg)
and at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/pubring.gpg-build.suse.de .

SuSE Security Announcement
Package: sudo
Announcement-ID: SuSE-SA:2002:002
Date: Mon Jan 14 13:00:00 CET 2002
Affected SuSE versions: 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3
Vulnerability Type: local privilege escalation
Severity (1-10): 5
SuSE default package: yes
Other affected systems: all recent sudo installations
Content of this advisory:
1) security vulnerability resolved: Sendmail invocation as root.
problem description, discussion, solution and upgrade information
2) pending vulnerabilities, solutions, workarounds
3) standard appendix (further information)
______________________________________________________________________________
1) problem description, brief discussion, solution, upgrade information
The SuSE Security Team discovered a bug in the sudo program which is
installed setuid to root. Attackers may trick "sudo" to log failed sudo
invocations executing the sendmail program with root-privileges and not
completely cleaned environment.
Depending on the installed mail-package this may enable attackers to
execute code as root. This is the case for at least the postfix mailer.
Other mailers may be exploited in a similar way.
This bug has been fixed by having "sudo" invoke the sendmail command with
user-privileges instead.
Please update your sudo package regardless of the mail-packages you are
using. As a temporary workaround you may remove the s-bit from sudo with
the "chmod -s `which sudo`" command, which will disable the sudo
functionality.
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.

2) Pending vulnerabilities in SuSE Distributions and Workarounds:
- stunnel
A format string error in the stunnel ssl wrapper was reported on
bugtraq in December 2001. SuSE Linux 7.2 and 7.3 as well as SLES7
contain the stunnel package in Version 3.14, which should be
vulnerable to the format string bug according to the reports on
bugtraq. However, the responsible portion of code does not expose the
format string problem with calls to fdprintf(). Therefore, SuSE
stunnel packages are not vulnerable to the security problem.
- thttpd
The thttpd daemon contained several off-by-one overflows. Due to internal
organization of the variables affected by these overflows, they seem
not exploitable. However, these bugs have been fixed. Please update to
the newest thttpd packages.
- pine
The popular mail client "pine" was found vulnerable to an attack where
shell metacharacters inside an URL could be used to execute arbitrary
commands if pine passes the URL to an external viewer on the
commandline. The pine packages on SuSE products are not vulnerable to
this weakness because they contain a patch that works around this
problem since it is not new.
______________________________________________________________________________
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 uninstalled 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 toplevel directory of the first CD (pubring.gpg)
and at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/pubring.gpg-build.suse.de .

SuSE Security Announcement
Package: mutt
Announcement-ID: SuSE-SA:2002:001
Date: Monday, Jan 7th 2001 20:30 MET
Affected SuSE versions: 6.4, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3
Vulnerability Type: local privilege escalation
Severity (1-10): 6
SuSE default package: yes
Other affected systems: systems with the mutt mailer installed
Content of this advisory:
1) security vulnerability resolved: mutt
problem description, discussion, solution and upgrade information
2) pending vulnerabilities, solutions, workarounds
3) standard appendix (further information)
______________________________________________________________________________
1) problem description, brief discussion, solution, upgrade information
mutt, a popular mail client for Linux-like systems, is vulnerable to a
buffer overflow that is remotely exploitable. We have added patches to
the versions of mutt as shipped with the affected distributions to fix
the problem. We recommend to install the update package for your product
and to restart all running instances of mutt.
We thank Joost Pol for reporting the problem to the makers of mutt.
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.
NOTE:
The SuSE Linux 7.0 distribution was shipped with two packages that contain
the mutt mail program: "mutt" and "muttssl". For legal reasons, the
muttssl package is available from the German ftp server ftp.suse.de.
You can find out which version of the mutt package you are using with
the following command:
rpm -qf /usr/bin/mutt
You only need to download and install the update package for the package
that is installed on your system.

2) Pending vulnerabilities in SuSE Distributions and Workarounds:
- SuSE Security receive reports about successful exploitation of the
problems in the secure shell package (ssh-1.2.27) on SuSE systems.
Please read the secure shell security announcement from February
2001, available at
http://www.suse.de/de/support/security/adv004_ssh.txt .
More additional information can be found in the openssh announcement at
http://www.suse.de/de/support/security/2001_045_openssh_txt.txt .

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 uninstalled 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 toplevel directory of the first CD (pubring.gpg)
and at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/pubring.gpg-build.suse.de .
