-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
ISS and the OpenSSH team just released advisories concerning the
OpenSSH vulnerability. These advisories state that the vulnerability
exists only if the package has been compiled with support for S/Key
or BSDAUTH authentication. Inspecting the patches included in the
OpenSSH advisory however show that there is a second vulnerability that
can be exploited when interactive keyboard mode is enabled (via the
PAMAuthenticationViaKbdInt option in sshd_config).
Neither S/Key or BSDAUTH were enabled in previous RPMs released by
SuSE (i.e. the OpenSSH 2.9.9p2 RPMs previously released on March 6,
and the OpenSSH 3.0.2p1 RPMs released with SuSE Linux 8.0). Support for
interactive keyboard mode is compiled in, and is off by default in recent
RPMs. However, it can be enabled by the administrator.
Which means that, in the default configuration, SuSE Linux users are
not affected by this vulnerability.
We will release another set of RPMs that fix this vulnerability soon.

Content of this advisory:
1) security vulnerability resolved: unknown vulnerability
in the OpenSSH daemon.
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
There's a new vulnerabilty in the OpenSSH daemon, of which we were
notified yesterday.
The OpenSSH/OpenBSD team has asked Linux vendors to upgrade their
platforms to OpenSSH 3.3, and change the configuration to use the
relatively new "Privilege Separation" code. According to their
information, 3.3 does not fix the vulnerability, but using privilege
separation prevents exploits.
We were not given any additional information on the nature of the
vulnerability.
Setting PrivilegeSeparation to on causes large portions of the
daemon to run in a so-called "chroot jail", i.e. in a very restricted
environment. An attacker breaking this part of the SSH daemon will
*not* obtain full root privilege (as he would if sshd ran without
this option), but will find himself in an empty directory, inside a
process running as a non privileged user (he can still do some harm
this way, but it's a far cry from full root powers).
The SuSE security team has prepared RPMs that upgrade OpenSSH to
version 3.3p1 on all SuSE Linux platforms. Based on the information
we've been given, we are unable to provide updates containing
a complete fix, nor can we guarantee that the workaround using
privilege separation is enough to protect you.
Given these imponderabilities, we suggest to you to take additional
precautions until details of the vulnerability have been published,
and we have been able to assess it:
- if you do not need external access to your SSH daemons,
turn off the SSH service on these machine completely, or block
external access at the firewall.
- if you do need external access to your SSH daemons,
make sure you restrict the hosts that it will talk to by setting
appropriate firewall rules.
If, for some reason, you cannot configure your firewall to
block external SSH access, you can also restrict access through
/etc/hosts.allow; the following will allow connections from
hosts with IP addresses 1.2.3.4, from hosts on the clas C IP
network 192.168.5.0, and from hosts in the foo.net DNS domain,
while rejecting any other connections.
sshd : 1.2.3.4 : allow
sshd : 192.168.5.0/255.255.255.0 : allow
sshd : *.foo.net : allow
sshd : ALL : deny
As soon as we are given the relevant details, the SuSE security
team will publish a follow-up advisory, and another openssh
update, as required.
Please download the update package for your distribution and
verify its integrity by the methods listed in section 3) of this
announcement.
If you are running nscd (enabled by default since SuSE Linux 7.0), the
name service caching daemon, shut down the daemon prior to upgrading
(this works around a bug in the groupadd command):
rcnscd stop
Then, install the package using the following command to apply
the update:
rpm -Fvh openssh*.rpm
After upgrading, please restart the SSH server by executing the
following command as super user:
rcsshd restart
Our maintenance customers are being notified individually. The
packages are being offered to install from the maintenance web.
Special notice concerning SuSE Linux 6.4 and 7.0:
SuSE Linux 6.4 ceased to be supported a week or two ago. However,
given the potential impact of this problem, we decided to issue update
packages for 6.4 as well. These are in the process of getting built,
and will show up on our FTP server soon.
Users of SuSE Linux 6.4 and 7.0, please also note that crypto update
packages for these platforms are always made available through
ftp.suse.de only, not ftp.suse.com, due to the crypto laws that
were in effect in the US at the time of the original release of
the product.

2) Pending vulnerabilities in SuSE Distributions and Workarounds:
- mozilla
Cross-dependencies between mozilla and other packages in SuSE Linux
products keep us from providing version upgrades for the mozilla
packages. Fixing security bugs in our packages is usually done by
adding the necessary patches to the existing version to ensure the
compatibility and consistency that is expected from our products.
In some cases (as with the mozilla package) the complexity of the
issue does not allow to add patches any more. By consequence,
security related issues in mozilla cannot be addressed.
As a service to our user community, we provide packages of newer
mozilla versions at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/mozilla/.
These packages have been verified to run fine; they are not located
in the update directory of the distribution in question because
we cannot make any claims about the compatibility with the other
packages in the product. Security-aware users are encouraged to
install the packages from the projects/ directory.
- ghostscript
RedHat released a security announcement concerning a problem in
ghostscript, which could be exploited to gain privilege of the print
server user. We are investigating whether SuSE Linux is affected.
- kernel netfilter update
we are in the process of preparing a kernel update that will include
a security fix for a minor netfilter bug.
- fetchmail
we are in the process of releasing a security update for fetchmail
that corrects a vulnerability that could be exploited by hostile
mail 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 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 .

There's a new vulnerabiltiy in the OpenSSH daemon. The OpenSSH/OpenBSD
team does not release any details concerning this issue, except:
- This bug still exists in the most recent version, 3.3
- They are asking all users to upgrade to version 3.3 (sic),
and enable the PrivilegeSeparation option.
Setting PrivilegeSeparation to on causes large portions of the daemon
to run in a so-called "chroot jail", i.e. in a very restricted environment.
An attacker breaking this part of the SSH daemon will *not* obtain full
root privilege (as he would if sshd runs without this option), but
will find himself in an empty directory, inside a process running as
a non privileged user (he can still do some harm this way, but it's
a far cry from full root powers, of course).
In a posting to bugtraq, Theo de Raadt says that using privilege
separation, this new vulnerability cannot be exploited.
The SuSE security team is working on creating OpenSSH updates with
privilege separation enabled, and testing this functionality. We
will release updated RPMs on FTP as they become available.
In the meanwhile, we suggest that
- if you do not need external access to your SSH daemons,
turn off the SSH service on these machine completely,
or block external access at the firewall.
- if you do need extern access to your SSH daemons,
make sure you restrict the hosts that it will talk to
by setting appropriate firewall rules.
If, for some reason, you cannot configure your firewall to
block external SSH access, you can also restrict access through
/etc/hosts.allow; the following will allow connections from
hosts with IP addresses 1.2.3.4 and 5.6.7.8 while disallowing
any other connections.
sshd : 1.2.3.4 : allow
sshd : 5.6.7.8 : allow
sshd : ALL : deny
It is not clear however whether this is really effective
because we do not know anything about the vulnerability
at all.

SuSE Security Announcement
Package: apache
Announcement-ID: SuSE-SA:2002:022
Date: Tue Jun 18 2002
Affected products: 6.4, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 8.0
SuSE Linux Database Server,
SuSE eMail Server III,
SuSE Linux Enterprise Server
Vulnerability Type: buffer overflow
Severity (1-10): 6
SuSE default package: 6.4 and 7.0: Yes; otherwise: No.
Content of this advisory:
1) security vulnerability resolved: buffer overflow in httpd
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
There is a bug in the way the Apache web server handles HTTP requests
that use "chunked mode". Chunked mode is a HTTP 1.1 feature that
allows a client to send data as a sequence of chunks rather than en
bloc. This is useful if it doesn't know the overall length of the
content at the time it starts transmitting.
Previous versions of apache did not properly detect incorrectly
encoded chunks, which caused a buffer overflow on the stack.
On 32bit architectures, this overflow cannot be exploited to inject
code into the httpd process and gain access to the machine, because
the overflow will always result in a segmentation fault, and the
process will terminate.
On 64bit architectures, it may be possible for an attacker to a
exploit the buffer overflow to execute arbitary code with
the privileges of the httpd process (user wwwrun on SuSE Linux).
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 following command to apply
the update:
rpm --nodeps -Fvh apache*.rpm mod_ssl*.rpm
If you have modified the configuration file /etc/httpd/httpd.conf,
upgrading will backup this file to /etc/httpd/httpd.conf.rpmsave.
If this is the case, make sure to restore this backup file.
Finally, restart the web server using /usr/sbin/rcapache restart.
Our maintenance customers are being notified individually. The packages
are being offered to install from the maintenance web.
The SuSE security team wishes to thank Mark Cox for advance notification
on this issue.
For additional information, please refer to
http://httpd.apache.org/info/security_bulletin_20020617.txt
Due to heat problems, we were not able to build the update
packages on all architectures. As soon as possible, we will
make update packages for the remaining platforms available
on our FTP site.

2) Pending vulnerabilities in SuSE Distributions and Workarounds:
- mozilla
Cross-dependencies between mozilla and other packages in SuSE Linux
products keep us from providing version upgrades for the mozilla
packages. Fixing security bugs in our packages is usually done by
adding the necessary patches to the existing version to ensure the
compatibility and consistency that is expected from our products.
In some cases (as with the mozilla package) the complexity of the
issue does not allow to add patches any more. By consequence,
security related issues in mozilla cannot be addressed.
As a service to our user community, we provide packages of newer
mozilla versions at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/mozilla/.
These packages have been verified to run fine; they are not located
in the update directory of the distribution in question because
we cannot make any claims about the compatibility with the other
packages in the product. Security-aware users are encouraged to
install the packages from the projects/ directory.
- ghostscript
RedHat released a security announcement concerning a problem in
ghostscript, which could be exploited to gain privilege of the print
server user. We are investigating whether SuSE Linux is affected.
- kernel netfilter update
we are in the process of preparing a kernel update that will include
a security fix for a minor netfilter bug.
- fetchmail
we are in the process of releasing a security update for fetchmail
that corrects a vulnerability that could be exploited by hostile
mail 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 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 runs two security mailing lists to which any interested party may

Dear suse-security-announce subscriber,
With the release of the SuSE Linux 8.0 i386 ftp version, we announce
that the SuSE Linux 6.4 distribution will be discontinued.
The high quality standard at SuSE and new features necessary for ftp support
required extensive testing of the SuSE Linux 8.0 i386 ftp version. We regret
the delay that was the result.
Vulnerabilities found after Monday, June 17 2002, will not receive a fix
for SuSE Linux 6.4 any more. After two years of successful use, SuSE Linux
6.4 will free resources for the newly released products. By consequence,
the 6.4 distributions directories on the ftp server have been moved to the
discontinued directory structure; the 6.4 directories in the update trees
will follow near the end of the month, soon after all update packages have
been published.
SuSE puts much effort into adding security improvements (patches) to the
software instead of publishing a new version; the same program with a fix
for a specific problem promises to work just as reliable as the original
version from the distribution, whereas new versions introduce new
functionality which changes the behaviour.
In some cases however, especially if the security leak is based on
problematic design decisions or when the fix(es) are fairly large, the
only reasonable fix for a security problem is to update to a newer version
of the software. These newer versions tend to become incompatible with our
older distribution releases because of missing features in the operating
system environment. This forces us to focus on the distributions of a
newer release date.
As usual, SuSE will continue to provide update packages for the remaining
distributions
SuSE-7.0
SuSE-7.1
SuSE-7.2
SuSE-7.3
and
SuSE-8.0
for a two-year period after the release of the respective distribution.
Our SLES (SuSE Linux Enterprise Server) products and the patches support
for them are not affected by this announcement.
If you have any questions regarding this announcement, please send email
to security(a)suse.de (primary security contact).
Regards,
Roman Drahtmüller,
SuSE Security.

SuSE Security Announcement
Package: bind9, bind9-beta
Announcement-ID: SuSE-SA:2002:021
Date: Thursday, Jun 6th, 02:00 MEST 2002
Affected products: 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 8.0
Vulnerability Type: remote denial of service attack
Severity (1-10): 4
SuSE default package: no
Other affected systems: systems running ISC bind9
Content of this advisory:
1) security vulnerability resolved: bind9 NAPTR bug
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
There is a bug in the BIND9 name server that is triggered when
processing certain types of DNS replies. When this happens an
assertion will fail, and named will log a message to the system log
before exiting. This means a remote attacker can easily shut down
the name server process.
This bug has been fixed using a patch provided by ISC via CERT.
Since there is no workaround to this problem, we recommend that
all users of bind9 update to the new packages.
Note that on SuSE 7.1 and later, it is not sufficient to update the
bind9 package itself; the vulnerability occurs in a shared library
included in the bind9-utils package.
Please also note that SuSE Linux after and including 7.3 contain two
different bind9 packages: One called bind9 with its subpackages,
and one called bind9-beta, also with subpackages. Use the command
rpm -qa|grep bind9
to find out which version of bind9 is installed on your system.
We recommend to run a non-beta version of bind9 on production systems.
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.

2) Pending vulnerabilities in SuSE Distributions and Workarounds:
- slurp - in a posting to bugtraq, a vulnerability in an NNTP news client
named slurp was reported. slurp should not be confused with "slurpd",
which is part of the openldap/openldap2 package. SuSE does not ship
slurp, the news client, and is therefore not vulnerable.
- ghostscript - RedHat Security released an announcement concerning a
problem in ghostscript, which could be exploited to gain the privileges
of the print server user. We are investigating whether SuSE Linux is
affected.
- kernel netfilter update - we are in the process of preparing a kernel
update that will include a security fix for a minor netfilter bug.
- fetchmail - we are in the process of releasing a security update for
fetchmail that corrects a vulnerability that could be exploited by
hostile mail servers.
- Update packages for KDE-3.0.1 to make the transition from KDE-3.0
for the SuSE Linux 8.0-i386 distribution can be found at the usual
path on our ftp server ftp.suse.com, also available through our
online update utility YOU. These packages have now been replaced
to fix two vulnerabilities in khtml. One of them is similar to the
"Opera javascript protocoll vulnerability", published by Andreas
Sandblad on bugtraq. The weakness allows to inject JavaScript
code in a subframe that the parent frame should not have access to.
The other problem is of a similar gravity, giving the update a
comparatively uncritical magnitude.
We wish to express our gratitude to the KDE developers and particularly
to Dirk Mueller who fixed this problem instantly.

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 .
