-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- ______________________________________________________________________________ SUSE Security Announcement Package: gaim Announcement-ID: SuSE-SA:2004:004 Date: Thrusday, Jan 29th 2004 10:30 MET Affected products: 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, 9.0 SuSE Linux Desktop 1.0 Vulnerability Type: remote system compromise Severity (1-10): 5 SUSE default package: no Cross References: Content of this advisory: 1) security vulnerability resolved: - two buffer overflows problem description, discussion, solution and upgrade information 2) pending vulnerabilities, solutions, workarounds: - kernel binaries for SLES8 AMD64 - mc - mod_gzip - tripwire - XDM (XFree86, xf86) - 3ddiag - mod_auth_shadow - cvsup - nmap - netpbm - zebra - quagga - tcpdump - mod_python 3) standard appendix (further information) ______________________________________________________________________________ 1) problem description, brief discussion, solution, upgrade information Gaim is a multi-protocol instant-messaging client. Stefan Esser found 12 vulnerabilities in gaim that can lead to a remote system compromise with the privileges of the user running GAIM. The GAIM package that SUSE LINUX ships is affected by just two of these bug: - Yahoo Packet Parser Overflow - HTTP Proxy Connect Overflow The first vulnerability is easy to exploit and results in a classic stack overflow which can be used to execute arbitrary code. The latter vulnerability requires the gaim client use a HTTP proxy under the control of the attacker. The exploitation of this bug results in arbitrary code execution too. There is no known workaround. Please download the update package for your distribution and verify its integrity by the methods listed in section 3) of this announcement. Then, to apply the update use the command "rpm -Fhv file.rpm". Our maintenance customers are being notified individually. The packages are being offered to install from the maintenance web.

The kernel-source packages and the packages for IA64 are *not* affected. New packages are available at our maintenance-web. - mc By using a special combination of links in archive files it is possible to execute arbitrary commands while mc tries to open it in its VFS. New packages are available on our FTP servers. - mod_gzip (apache-contrib) The apache module mod_gzip is vulnerable to remote code execution while running in debug-mode. We do not ship this module in debug-mode but future versions will include the fix. Additionally the mod_gzip code was audited to fix more possibly security related bugs. After more testing a new apache-contrib RPM package will be released. - tripwire Tripwire is a file integrity checker. The version of tripwire included with SuSE Linux 9.0 crashs when a requested file does not exists. New packages are available on our FTP servers. - XDM (XFree86, xf86) A missing check for failure conditions in the PAM code of XDM can lead to local root access in conjunction with Kerberos or other authentication methods. New packages are available on our FTP servers. - 3ddiag Some 3ddiag scripts handle temporary files in an insecure manner. Thanks to Stefan Nordhausen <nordhaus at informatik.hu-berlin.de> for reporting some of these issues. New packages are available on our FTP servers. - mod_auth_shadow (apache-contrib) This apache module ignores account expiration dates. The update will be released together with mod_gzip. - cvsup cvsup uses a library path which is world-writeable. This behavior can lead to local privilege escalation. Thanks to Matthias Andree for notifying us. Upcoming SuSE Linux versions have an automatic check enabled to detect these types of bugs. New packages are available on our FTP servers. - nmap Due to a bad interaction between kernel and user-space for pre- calculated IP checksums nmap did not work on SUSE LINUX 9.0. New packages are available on our FTP servers. - netpbm Some tools in the netpbm suite create files in an insecure manner that can lead to local privilege escalation. New packages will be available soon. - zebra Local users can send malicious netlink messages that cause denial-of-service conditions in zebra. New packages will be available soon. - quagga Local users can send malicious netlink messages that cause denial-of-service conditions in the routing-daemon quagga. New packages are available on our FTP servers. - tcpdump The code for handling ISAKMP and RADIUS messages contained bugs which allowed remote attackers to crash tcpdump or to execute arbitrary code. New packages are available on our FTP servers. - mod_python A remote denial-of-service attack can be triggered against the Apache web server by sending a specific query string that is processed by mod_python. New packages will be available soon. ______________________________________________________________________________ 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 un-installed 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 top-level 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 subscribe: suse-security(a)suse.com - general/linux/SUSE security discussion. All SUSE security announcements are sent to this list. To subscribe, send an email to <suse-security-subscribe(a)suse.com>. suse-security-announce(a)suse.com - SUSE's announce-only mailing list. Only SUSE's security announcements are sent to this list. To subscribe, send an email to <suse-security-announce-subscribe(a)suse.com>. For general information or the frequently asked questions (faq) send mail to: <suse-security-info(a)suse.com> or <suse-security-faq(a)suse.com> respectively. ===================================================================== SUSE's security contact is <security(a)suse.com> or <security(a)suse.de>. The <security(a)suse.de> public key is listed below. ===================================================================== ______________________________________________________________________________ The information in this advisory may be distributed or reproduced, provided that the advisory is not modified in any way. In particular, it is desired that the clear-text signature shows proof of the authenticity of the text. SUSE Linux AG makes no warranties of any kind whatsoever with respect to the information contained in this security advisory.

The packages will be released soon. - mod_gzip (apache-contrib) The apache module mod_gzip is vulnerable to remote code execution while running in debug-mode. We do not ship this module in debug-mode but future versions will include the fix. Additionally the mod_gzip code was audited to fix more possible security related bugs. After more testing a new apache-contrib RPM package will be released. - tripwire Tripwire is a file integrity checker. The tripwire version on SuSE Linux 8.2 and 9.0 do crash when a requested file does not exists. New packages will be available soon. - cvs The cvs server-side can be tricked to create files in the root filesystem of the server by requesting malformed modules. The permissions on the root filesystem normally prevent this malfunction. Additionally the package will include a fix for a format-string bug. New packages will be available soon. - gnome-filesystem A script included in the gnome-filesystem package handles temporary files insecurely. This script is called by YaST2 with root privileges. The bug can be exploited locally to create or overwrite arbitrary files in the filesystem. The bug is fixed in our current source-tree since November 2003 but nevertheless update packages for older SuSE Linux versions will be released soon. - XDM (XFree86, xf86) A missing check for failure conditions in the PAM code of XDM can lead to local root access in conjunction with Kerberos and alike. New packages will be released soon. - inn A buffer overflow in the code for handling control messages can be exploited remotely. New packages are available on our FTP servers. - mpg321 A format-bug in mpg321 can be exploited (even remotely by HTTP streaming) to execute code with the permissions of the user running mpg321 on special MP3 files. New packages are available on our FTP servers. - popper Popper handles temporary files in an insecure manner. New packages are available on our FTP servers. - kdepim3 It was possible to use a buffer overflow via a special crafted vcard file to run code during generating previews. By default it was only possible on local filesystems, but the user can enable this also for remote file systems. New packages are available on our FTP servers. - pin Pin handles local temporary files in an insecure manner which may lead to local privilege escalation. Thanks to Stefan Nordhausen <nordhaus at informatik.hu-berlin.de> for reporting one of the issues. New packages are available on our FTP servers. - 3ddiag Some 3ddiag scripts handle temporary files in an insecure manner. Thanks to Stefan Nordhausen <nordhaus at informatik.hu-berlin.de> for reporting some of the issues. New packages will be available on our FTP servers soon. - mod_auth_shadow (apache-contrib) This apache module ignores account expiration dates. The update will be released together with mod_gzip. ______________________________________________________________________________ 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 un-installed 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 top-level 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 subscribe: suse-security(a)suse.com - general/linux/SUSE security discussion. All SUSE security announcements are sent to this list. To subscribe, send an email to <suse-security-subscribe(a)suse.com>. suse-security-announce(a)suse.com - SUSE's announce-only mailing list.

SUSE Security Announcement: Linux Kernel (SuSE-SA:2004:001)
by Thomas Biege 05 Jan '04

05 Jan '04

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- ______________________________________________________________________________ SUSE Security Announcement Package: Linux Kernel Announcement-ID: SuSE-SA:2004:001 Date: Monday, Jan 5th 2004 20:27 MET Affected products: 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, 9.0 SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 7, SuSE Linux Database Server, SuSE eMail Server III, 3.1 SuSE Linux Firewall on CD/Admin host SuSE Linux Office Server SuSE Linux Desktop 1.0 SuSE Linux School Server Vulnerability Type: local system compromise Severity (1-10): 6 SUSE default package: yes Cross References: Content of this advisory: 1) security vulnerability resolved: - incorrect bounds checking problem description, discussion, solution and upgrade information 2) pending vulnerabilities, solutions, workarounds: - mc - mod_gzip - tripwire - cvs - irssi - atftp 3) standard appendix (further information) ______________________________________________________________________________ 1) problem description, brief discussion, solution, upgrade information The do_mremap() function of the Linux Kernel is used to manage (move, resize) Virtual Memory Areas (VMAs). By exploiting an incorrect bounds check in do_mremap() during the remapping of memory it is possible to create a VMA with the size of 0. In normal operation do_mremap() leaves a memory hole of one page and creates an additional VMA of two pages. In case of exploitation no hole is created but the new VMA has a 0 bytes length. The Linux Kernel's memory management is corrupted from this point and can be abused by local users to gain root privileges. There is no temporary workaround for this bug. Please note that on 8.1, the kernel-source package may not be installable through rpm, because of a bug in RPM (update of the kernel source RPM may take 30 minutes or more, or fail entirely). Owing to this problem, the kernel source is not available as a regular YOU update. However, recognizing our obligation to publish the source along with the binary packages, we are making the source available as a compressed tar archive, downloadable from the normal FTP locations SPECIAL INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS: ============================== The following paragraphs will guide you through the installation process in a step-by-step fashion. The character sequence "****" marks the beginning of a new paragraph. In some cases, you decide if the paragraph is needed for you or not. Please read through all of the steps down to the end. All of the commands that need to be executed are required to be run as the superuser (root). Each step relies on the steps before to complete successfully. **** Step 1: Determine the needed kernel type Please use the following command to find the kernel type that is installed on your system: rpm -qf /boot/vmlinuz The following options are possible (disregarding the version and build number following the name, separated by the "-" character): k_deflt # default kernel, good for most systems. k_i386 # kernel for older processors and chipsets k_athlon # kernel made specifically for AMD Athlon(tm) family processors k_psmp # kernel for Pentium-I dual processor systems k_smp # kernel for SMP systems (Pentium-II and above) k_smp4G # kernel for SMP systems which supports a maximum of 4G of RAM **** Step 2: Download the package for your system Please download the kernel RPM package for your distribution with the name starting as indicated by Step 1. The list of all kernel rpm packages is appended below. Note: The kernel-source package does not contain any binary kernel in bootable form. Instead, it contains the sources that the binary kernel rpm packages are made from. It can be used by administrators who have decided to build their own kernel. Since the kernel-source.rpm is an installable (compiled) package that contains sources for the linux kernel, it is not the source RPM for the kernel RPM binary packages. The kernel RPM binary packages for the distributions can be found at these locations below ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/. 8.0/images/ 8.1/rpm/i586 8.2/rpm/i586 9.0/rpm/i586 After downloading the kernel RPM package for your system, you should verify the authenticity of the kernel rpm package using the methods as listed in section 3) of each SUSE Security Announcement. **** Step 3: Installing your kernel rpm package Install the rpm package that you have downloaded in Steps 3 or 4 with the command rpm -Uhv --nodeps --force <K_FILE.RPM> where <K_FILE.RPM> is the name of the rpm package that you downloaded. Warning: After performing this step, your system will likely not be able to boot if the following steps have not been fully applied. If you run SUSE LINUX 8.1 and haven't applied the previous kernel update (SUSE-SA:2003:034), AND use the freeswan package, you also need to update the freeswan rpm as a dependency as offered by YOU (Yast Online Update). The package can be downloaded from ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.1/rpm/i586/ **** Step 4: configuring and creating the initrd The initrd is a ramdisk that is being loaded into the memory of your system together with the kernel boot image by the bootloader. The kernel uses the content of this ramdisk to execute commands that must be run before the kernel can mount its actual root filesystem. It is usually used to initialize scsi drivers or NIC drivers for diskless operation. The variable INITRD_MODULES in /etc/sysconfig/kernel determines which kernel modules will be loaded in the initrd before the kernel has mounted its actual root filesystem. The variable should contain your scsi adapter (if any) or filesystem driver modules. With the installation of the new kernel, the initrd has to be re-packed with the update kernel modules. Please run the command mk_initrd as root to create a new init ramdisk (initrd) for your system. On SuSE Linux 8.1 and later, this is done automatically when the RPM is installed. **** Step 5: bootloader If you have a 7.x system, you must now run the command lilo as root to initialize the lilo bootloader for your system. Then proceed to the next step. If you run a SUSE LINUX 8.x or a SLES8 system, there are two options: Depending on your software configuration, you have the lilo bootloader or the grub bootloader installed and initialized on your system. The grub bootloader does not require any further actions to be performed after the new kernel images have been moved in place by the rpm Update command. If you have a lilo bootloader installed and initialized, then the lilo program must be run as root. Use the command grep LOADER_TYPE /etc/sysconfig/bootloader to find out which boot loader is configured. If it is lilo, then you must run the lilo command as root. If grub is listed, then your system does not require any bootloader initialization. Warning: An improperly installed bootloader may render your system unbootable. **** Step 6: reboot If all of the steps above have been successfully applied to your system, then the new kernel including the kernel modules and the initrd should be ready to boot. The system needs to be rebooted for the changes to become active. Please make sure that all steps are complete, then reboot using the command shutdown -r now or init 6 Your system should now shut down and reboot with the new kernel. Our maintenance customers are being notified individually. The packages are being offered to install from the maintenance web. 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. Missing packages will be published later.

vulnerabilities in SUSE Distributions and Workarounds: - mc By using a special combination of links in archive-files it is possible to execute arbitrary commands while mc tries to open it in its VFS. The packages will be release as soon. - mod_gzip The apache module mod_gzip is vulnerable to remote code execution while running in debug-mode. We do not ship this module in debug-mode but future versions will include the fix. Additionally the mod_gzip code was audited to fix more possible security related bugs. - tripwire Tripwire is a file integrity checker. The tripwire version on SuSE Linux 8.2 and 9.0 do crash when a requested file does not exists. New packages will be available soon. - cvs The cvs server-side can be tricked to create files in the root filesystem of the server by requesting malformed modules. The permissions on the root filesystem normally prevent this malfunction. New packages will be available soon. - irssi Under special circumstances the the irc-client irssi can be crashed remotely by other irc-clients. New packages are available on our FTP servers. - atftp A buffer overflow vulnerability discovered by Rick Patel has been fixed in the atftpd (trivial file transfer protocol, UDP oriented) daemon, contained in the atftp package. Update packages for the affected SUSE Linux distributions 8.1 and 8.2 have been published on our ftp server today. We explicitly thank Dirk Mueller, KDE developer, for notifying SUSE Security about the pending treatment of this incident. New packages are available on our FTP 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 un-installed 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 top-level 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 subscribe: suse-security(a)suse.com - general/linux/SUSE security discussion. All SUSE security announcements are sent to this list. To subscribe, send an email to <suse-security-subscribe(a)suse.com>. suse-security-announce(a)suse.com - SUSE's announce-only mailing list. Only SUSE's security announcements are sent to this list. To subscribe, send an email to <suse-security-announce-subscribe(a)suse.com>. For general information or the frequently asked questions (faq) send mail to: <suse-security-info(a)suse.com> or <suse-security-faq(a)suse.com> respectively. ===================================================================== SUSE's security contact is <security(a)suse.com> or <security(a)suse.de>.
