Re: SUSE Security Announcement: various kernel problems (SUSE-SA:2004:044)

Hi folks, Like some of you noted the 9.2 kernels RPMs are not there anymore, even though they are listed in the advisory. This is due us receiving reports where the Yast Online Update updating this kernel made the machine fail to boot. The reason is that a script is no longer creating the vmlinuz and initrd symlinks as is required for successful booting. We are preparing updated fixed packages for this problem and will be releasing them hopefully within the next day(s). Sorry for the inconvience, Marcus Meissner, Team Lead SUSE Security

22 Dec '04

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- ______________________________________________________________________________ SUSE Security Announcement Package: samba Announcement-ID: SUSE-SA:2004:045 Date: Wednesday, Dec 22st 2004 14:30 MEST Affected products: 8.1, 8.2, 9.0, 9.1, 9.2 SUSE Linux Desktop 1.0 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8, 9 Novell Linux Desktop 9 Vulnerability Type: remote privilege escalation Severity (1-10): 9 SUSE default package: no Cross References: CAN-2004-1154 Content of this advisory: 1) security vulnerability resolved: - several integer overflows problem description 2) solution/workaround 3) special instructions and notes 4) package location and checksums 5) pending vulnerabilities, solutions, workarounds: - none 6) standard appendix (further information) ______________________________________________________________________________ 1) problem description, brief discussion The Samba developers informed us about several potential integer overflow issues in the Samba 2 and Samba 3 code. This update adds constraints to the Samba server code which protects it from using values from untrusted sources as operands in arithmetic operations to determine heap memory space needed to copy data. Without these limitations a remote attacker may be able to overflow the heap memory of the process and to overwrite vital information structures which can be abused to execute arbitrary code. 2) solution/workaround There is no workaround known. Please install the new packages provided on our FTP servers. 3) special instructions and notes Please make sure that all running instances of smbd which were started before the update were terminated. Run the following command as root: /usr/sbin/rcsmb try-restart 4) package location and checksums 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 for installation from the maintenance web. x86 Platform: SUSE Linux 9.1: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.1/rpm/i586/samba-3.0.9-2.1.5.i586…

vulnerabilities in SUSE Distributions and Workarounds: Please have a look at: http://www.suse.de/de/security/2004_04_sr.html ______________________________________________________________________________ 6) 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 recommend against subscribing to security lists that cause the e-mail 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 file name 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 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.

SUSE Security Announcement: various kernel problems (SUSE-SA:2004:044)
by Marcus Meissner 21 Dec '04

21 Dec '04

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- ______________________________________________________________________________ SUSE Security Announcement Package: kernel Announcement-ID: SUSE-SA:2004:044 Date: Tuesday, Dec 21st 2004 18:00 MEST Affected products: SUSE Linux 8.1, 8.2, 9.0, 9.1, 9.2 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8, 9 SUSE Linux Desktop 1.0 Novell Linux Desktop 9 Vulnerability Type: local privilege escalation remote denial of service local denial of service Severity (1-10): 9 SUSE default package: yes Cross References: CAN-2004-1068 CAN-2004-1016 CAN-2004-1137 CAN-2004-1151 Content of this advisory: 1) security vulnerability resolved: - several vulnerabilities in the linux kernel problem description 2) solution/workaround 3) special instructions and notes 4) package location and checksums 5) pending vulnerabilities, solutions, workarounds: - problem with smbfs in earlier update - see SUSE Security Summary Report 6) standard appendix (further information) ______________________________________________________________________________ 1) problem description, brief discussion Linux kernel Several vulnerabilities have been found and fixed in the Linux kernel. Paul Starzetz reported that the missing serialization in unix_dgram_recvmsg() which was added to kernel 2.4.28 can be used by a local attacker to gain elevated privileges (root access). This issue is tracked by the Mitre CVE ID CAN-2004-1068. Paul Starzetz and Georgi Guninski reported independently that bad argument handling and bad integer arithmetics in the IPv4 sendmsg handling of control messages could lead to a local attacker crashing the machine. This problem was fixed by Herbert Xu and is tracked by the Mitre CVE ID CAN-2004-1016. Georgi Guninski reported a memory leak in the IP option handling of the IPv4 sendmsg call. Paul Starzetz found bad handling in the kernel IGMP code, which could lead to a local attacker being able to crash the machine. This problem was fixed by Chris Wright and is tracked by the Mitre CVE ID CAN-2004-1137. Olaf Kirch found and fixed a problem in the RPC handling in the kernel of SUSE Linux 9.1, 9.2, and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 which could lead to a remote attacker crashing the machine. A local denial of service problem in the aio_free_ring system call could allow a local attacker to crash the machine. A problem in the memory management handling of ELF executables could lead to a local attacker crashing the machine with a handcrafted ELF binary. (This is a VMA overlap problem and not related to earlier ELF problems.) A buffer overflow in the system call handling in the 32bit system call emulation on AMD64 / Intel EM64T systems was fixed. It is not thought to be exploitable. A memory leak in the ip_conntrack_ftp firewalling module was fixed in the 2.6 kernels. Various UML security issues in the SUSE Linux 9.2 UML setup were fixed. Additionally some non-security bugs were fixed in the released kernels: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 and SUSE Linux 8.1: - A memory leak in addition / removal of SCSI target devices was fixed. - A race condition in SCSI I/O accounting which could lead to erroneous reports on SCSI disk I/O was fixed. - S390: Patches from IBM have been installed in the S/390 architecture, both for 32 and 64bit. Refer to the maintenance information mail for the full change log. - The "memfrac" and "lower_zone_reserve" kernel parameters had no effect since they were used before kernel command line parsing. - PowerPC: Missing synchronization that could lead to processes hanging in signal delivery was added. SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 and SUSE Linux 9.1: - A vfree() was called with interrupts disabled in the SCSI generic device handling, which could lead to a hanging machine. - A race condition between a file unlink and umount could lead to a machine crash. - Fixed a small memory leak in bio_copy_user(). - cdrecord -scanbus could crash the kernel when using the "gdth" SCSI driver. - Allow reading from zero page (/dev/zero) using O_DIRECT/rawio. - Fixed some LSB issues in the fcntl compatibility handling. - The st (SCSI tape) driver did not pass on generic SCSI ioctl commands to the SCSI mid layer. SUSE Linux 9.2: - The kernel installation routines did not call depmod for the modules in the -nongpl RPMs, so they could not be loaded. This lead to non working USB modem drivers and similar. This problem was fixed. - A Problem with mounting iPods over FireWire was fixed. - A data corruption problem in the megaraid driver was fixed. - A pageattr overflow condition in the memory subsystem and missing TLB flush if multiple pages were passed were fixed. - Allow reading from zeropage with O_DIRECT/rawio. - Do not restart the system on ACPI events after power down. (Make it no longer start on opening the lid of just shutdown laptops for instance.) - New memory imbalance handling handling by Andrea leading to better Out Of Memory (OOM) handling was added. 2) solution/workaround Please install the fixed packages, there is no workaround. 3) special instructions and notes 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, the steps outlined in a particular paragraph may or may not be applicable to your situation. Therefore, please make sure to read through all of the steps below before attempting any of these procedures. 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 it 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 Following are the possible kernel types (disregard 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 chip sets 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 kernel-64k-pagesize kernel-bigsmp kernel-default kernel-smp **** Step 2: Download the package for your system Please download the kernel RPM package for your distribution with the name as indicated by Step 1. The list of all kernel rpm packages is appended below. Note: The kernel-source package does not contain a binary kernel in bootable form. Instead, it contains the sources that the binary kernel rpm packages are created 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 the locations below ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/. 8.1/rpm/i586 8.2/rpm/i586 9.0/rpm/i586 9.1/rpm/i586 9.2/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 followed. If you run SUSE LINUX 8.1 and haven't applied the kernel update (SUSE-SA:2003:034), AND you are using 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 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 run a SUSE LINUX 8.x, SLES8, or SUSE LINUX 9.x system, there are two options: Depending on your software configuration, you have either 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 completed on 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 have completed, then reboot using the command shutdown -r now or init 6 Your system should now shut down and reboot with the new kernel. 4) package location and checksums 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. x86 Platform: SUSE Linux 9.2: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.2/rpm/i586/kernel-source-2.6.8-24…

vulnerabilities in SUSE Distributions and Workarounds: Please see our Security Summary Report. - problem with smbfs in the previous kernel update We received reports of smbfs being broken by our last kernel update (released on Dec 1st, SUSE-SA:2004:042). This apparently only affects the smbfs filesystem on 2.6 kernels, so SUSE Linux 9.1, 9.2, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 and Novell Linux Desktop 9. This problem is unfortunately not yet fixed in this security update, we will be releasing fixed packages in the begin of next year. As workaround please change to use the cifs filesystem if possible, which replaces smbfs in the 2.6 kernel series. ______________________________________________________________________________ 6) 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>.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- ______________________________________________________________________________ SUSE Security Summary Report Announcement-ID: SUSE-SR:2004:005 Date: Tuesday, Dec 21th 2004 15:00 MEST Cross References: CAN-2004-1079 Content of this advisory: 1) solved security vulnerabilities: - ncpfs buffer overflow 2) pending vulnerabilities, solutions, workarounds: - Sun and Blackdown Java - new kernel problems - squirrelmail cross site scripting - acroread buffer overflow - phpMyAdmin remote command execution - wget file overwrite problems - multiple php vulnerabilities - multiple problems reported by djb 3) standard appendix (further information) ______________________________________________________________________________ 1) solved security vulnerabilities To avoid spamming lists with advisories for every small incident, we will release weekly summary advisories for issues where we have released updates without a full advisory. Since these are minor issues, md5sums and ftp URLs are not included. Fixed packages for the following incidents are already available on our FTP server and via the YaST Online Update. - ncpfs A buffer overflow in the command line parameter handling of the ncplogin and ncpmap tools could be used by a local attacker also member of the "trusted" group to gain root access. Since the users in the "trusted" group are usually the ones having root access, this is not considered a huge problem. This is tracked by the Mitre CVE ID CAN-2004-1079. All SUSE Linux based products are affected. The SUSE Security Team wishes you a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2005! ______________________________________________________________________________ 2) Pending vulnerabilities in SUSE Distributions and Workarounds: - Sun Java Plugin A privilege escalation problem was found in the Sun Java Plugin which could have a remote attacker reading and writing files of a local user browsing websites. This bug affects all SUSE versions on the Intel x86 and AMD64 / Intel Extended Memory Architecture (EM64T) platforms. We are in the process of releasing updated Java packages. - kernel Several more problems have been found in the Linux 2.4 and 2.6 kernels: - A race condition in the unix_dgram_recvmsg() could lead to a local attacker overwriting kernel memory and gain root access. This was reported by Paul Starzetz. This is tracked by the Mitre CVE ID CAN-2004-1068. - Problems in IGMP ioctl processing can allow a local attacker to crash the machine. This was assigned the Mitre CVE ID CAN-2004-1137. - A local denial service problem using badly formed ELF executables, where it was possible for a local attacker to crash the machine by using handcrafted ELF binaries. - An integer overflow in the cmsg handling of sendmsg could lead to a local attacker being able to halt / crash the machine. This was found independently by Paul Starzetz and Georgi Guninski. - Some more minor issues. All SUSE Linux based products are affected and we are in the process of preparing updated packages. - samba Several integer overflow problems have been identified in the Samba filesharing which could lead to a remote attacker gaining access to the Samba server. This issue is tracked by the Mitre CVE ID CAN-2004-1154. We are in the process of preparing updates. All SUSE Linux based products are affected. - squirrelmail A cross site scripting problem was found in squirrelmail. This issue has been assigned Mitre CVE ID CAN-2004-1036. We are in the process of evaluating affected distributions and preparing updates. - acroread A buffer overflow problem was reported by iDEFENSE Security in the Acrobat Reader for UNIX. We are in the process of preparing updates. Mitre has assigned CVE ID CAN-2004-1152 for this issue. We are in the process of preparing updates. All SUSE Linux based products are affected. - phpMyAdmin There is a remote code execution problem in phpMyAdmin. Mitre has assigned CVE IDs CAN-2004-1147 and CAN-2004-1148. SUSE Linux 9.0, 9.1, 9.2 are affected by this problem. - wget Multiple file overwrite problem and a directory traversal problem were identified in the wget program, which allows a prepared web server to reply to wget request with data allowing overwriting files, traversing into one directory below the current one, and hidden file overwrite. All SUSE Linux based products are affected. - konqueror The Konqueror web browser allows websites to load web pages into a window or tab currently used by another website. This was reported by Secunia Research. Mitre has has assigned the CVE ID CAN-2004-1158 to this issue. All SUSE Linux based products are affected, we are preparing updates for this problem. - php Multiple vulnerabilities were found in the php unserialize functionality and other functions by Stefan Esser and others. We are in the process of preparing updated packages. All SUSE Linux based products are affected. - multiple problems reported by djb Daniel Bernstein held a course on vulnerabilities and had his students audit existing UNIX software for potential problems and vulnerabilities. The students discovered 44 flaws during this course. Not all of those are as serious to be released as a security update, the SUSE Security Team is identifying the packages that need an update and will release fixes for them. All SUSE Linux based products are affected. ______________________________________________________________________________ 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 recommend against subscribing to security lists that cause the e-mail 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 file name 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 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.

SUSE Security Summary Report SUSE-SR:2004:04

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- ______________________________________________________________________________ SUSE Security Summary Report Announcement-ID: SUSE-SR:2004:004 Date: Thursday, Dec 16th 2004 12:00 MEST Cross References: <none> Content of this advisory: 1) solved security vulnerabilities: - file buffer overflow - phprojekt setup.php vulnerability 2) pending vulnerabilities, solutions, workarounds: - Sun and Blackdown Java - new kernel problems - squirrelmail cross site scripting - acroread buffer overflow - phpMyAdmin remote command execution - wget file overwrite problems - multiple php vulnerabilities 3) standard appendix (further information) ______________________________________________________________________________ 1) solved security vulnerabilities To avoid spamming lists with advisories for every small incident, we will release weekly summary advisories for issues where we have released updates without a full advisory. Since these are minor issues, md5sums and ftp URLs are not included. Fixed packages for the following incidents are already available on our FTP server and via the YaST Online Update. - file A buffer overflow in the handling of ELF executables within the "file" file type detection program was found, which could potentially lead to an attacker executing code within the file process. All SUSE Linux based products are affected. - phprojekt PHProjekt contains a vulnerability in setup.php which allows a remote attacker to change the configuration of the groupware. All SUSE Linux Box products are affected. ______________________________________________________________________________ 2) Pending vulnerabilities in SUSE Distributions and Workarounds: - Sun Java Plugin A privilege escalation problem was found in the Sun Java Plugin which could have a remote attacker reading and writing files of a local user browsing websites. This bug affects all SUSE versions on the Intel x86 and AMD64 / Intel Extended Memory Architecture (EM64T) platforms. We are in the process of releasing updated Java packages. - kernel Several more problems have been found in the Linux 2.4 and 2.6 kernels: - A race condition in the unix_dgram_recvmsg() could lead to a local attacker overwriting kernel memory and gain root access. This was reported by Paul Starzetz. This is tracked by the Mitre CVE ID CAN-2004-1068. - Problems in IGMP ioctl processing can allow a local attacker to crash the machine. This was assigned the Mitre CVE ID CAN-2004-1137. - A local denial service problem using badly formed ELF executables, where it was possible for a local attacker to crash the machine by using handcrafted ELF binaries. - An integer overflow in the cmsg handling of sendmsg could lead to a local attacker being able to halt / crash the machine. This was found independently by Paul Starzetz and Georgi Guninski. - Some more minor issues. All SUSE Linux based products are affected and we are in the process of preparing updated packages. - squirrelmail A cross site scripting problem was found in squirrelmail. This issue has been assigned Mitre CVE ID CAN-2004-1036. We are in the process of evaluating affected distributions and preparing updates. - acroread A buffer overflow problem was reported by iDEFENSE Security in the Acrobat Reader for UNIX. We are in the process of preparing updates. Mitre has assigned CVE ID CAN-2004-1152 for this issue. We are in the process of preparing updates. All SUSE Linux based products are affected. - phpMyAdmin There is a remote code execution problem in phpMyAdmin. Mitre has assigned CVE IDs CAN-2004-1147 and CAN-2004-1148. SUSE Linux 9.0, 9.1, 9.2 are affected by this problem. - wget Multiple file overwrite problem and a directory traversal problem were identified in the wget program, which allows a prepared web server to reply to wget request with data allowing overwriting files, traversing into one directory below the current one, and hidden file overwrite. All SUSE Linux based products are affected. - konqueror The Konqueror web browser allows websites to load web pages into a window or tab currently used by another website. This was reported by Secunia Research. Mitre has has assigned the CVE ID CAN-2004-1158 to this issue. All SUSE Linux based products are affected, we are preparing updates for this problem. - php Multiple vulnerabilities were found in the php unserialize functionality and other functions by Stefan Esser and others. We are in the process of preparing updated packages. All SUSE Linux based products are affected. ______________________________________________________________________________ 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 recommend against subscribing to security lists that cause the e-mail 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 file name 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 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.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- ______________________________________________________________________________ SUSE Security Summary Report Announcement-ID: SUSE-SR:2004:003 Date: Tuesday, Dec 7th 2004 15:00 MEST Cross References: CAN-2004-0782 CAN-2004-0883 CAN-2004-0947 CAN-2004-1010 CAN-2004-1011 CAN-2004-1012 CAN-2004-1013 CAN-2004-1070 CAN-2004-1071 CAN-2004-1072 CAN-2004-1073 CAN-2004-1074 Content of this advisory: 1) solved security vulnerabilities: - kernel problems - cyrus-imapd remote problems - imlib image loader problems - unarj directory traversal and buffer overflow - zip buffer overflow problem 2) pending vulnerabilities, solutions, workarounds: - Sun and Blackdown Java - new kernel problems 3) standard appendix (further information) ______________________________________________________________________________ 1) solved security vulnerabilities To avoid spamming lists with advisories for every small incident, we will release weekly summary advisories for issues where we have released updates without a full advisory. Since these are minor issues, md5sums and ftp URLs are not included. Fixed packages for the following incidents are already available on our FTP server and via the YaST Online Update. - kernel Several problems have been found in the Linux 2.4 and 2.6 kernels: - Several issues have been found in the error handling of the ELF loader routines by Paul Starzetz of isec.pl. These are tracked by the Mitre CVE Ids: CAN-2004-1070,CAN-2004-1071,CAN-2004-1072 CAN-2004-1073. - Several overflow checks in the smbfs handling of both Linux 2.4 and 2.6 were found missing by Stefan Esser. This is tracked by the Mitre CVE Id CAN-2004-0883. - Handcrafted a.out binaries could be used to trigger a local denial of service condition in both 2.4 and 2.6 Linux kernels. Fixes for this problem were done by Chris Wright. This is tracked by the Mitre CVE Id CAN-2004-1074. - A very small race window was found in the memory management of the kernel which could be used to show the content of random physical memory pages potentially leading to information disclosure. This is already fixed in the mainline kernel. These bugs affect all SUSE Linux products. A separate advisory has already gone out for this issue. - cyrus-imapd Remote buffer overflow possibilities in the Cyrus IMAP daemon were found by Stefan Esser and Sebastian Krahmer. These are tracked by the Mitre CVE IDs CAN-2004-1011, CAN-2004-1012, and CAN-2004-1013. All SUSE Linux based products are affected. A separate advisory has already gone out for this issue. - imlib A review of the Fedora Core team found more problems in the imlib source code. Patches to fix these problems have been applied. These are related to the vulnerability tracked in the Mitre CVE ID CAN-2004-0782 for which we already released updated packages. All SUSE Linux based products are affected. - unarj A directory traversal problem in the unpacker unarj was reported which allows an attacker to overwrite files outside of the current directory. Additionally Ludwig Nussel of SUSE found some buffer overflow problems during extraction allowing an handwritten arj archive to potentially execute code. The buffer overflow is tracked by the Mitre CVE ID CAN-2004-0947. All SUSE Linux based products are affected. - zip A buffer overflow in the unpacker zip was reported, which potentially allows an attacker with a handcrafted ZIP archive to remotely execute code. This is tracked by the Mitre CVE ID CAN-2004-1010. All SUSE Linux based products are affected. ______________________________________________________________________________ 2) Pending vulnerabilities in SUSE Distributions and Workarounds: - Sun Java Plugin A privilege escalation problem was found in the Sun Java Plugin which could have a remote attacker reading and writing files of a local user browsing websites. This bug affects all SUSE versions on the Intel x86 and AMD64 / Intel Extended Memory Architecture (EM64T) platforms. We are in the process of releasing updated Java packages. - kernel Several more problems have been found in the Linux 2.4 and 2.6 kernels: - A race condition in the unix_dgram_recvmsg() could lead to a local attacker overwriting kernel memory. This is tracked by the Mitre CVE ID CAN-2004-1068. - Local denial of service in aio_free_ring(). - Local denial of service with badly formed ELF executables on 64 bit systems. - Some more minor issues. All SUSE Linux based products are affected and we are in the process of preparing updated packages. ______________________________________________________________________________ 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 recommend against subscribing to security lists that cause the e-mail 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 file name 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 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.

The bugs occur in the pre-authentication phase, therefore an update is strongly recommended. 2) solution/workaround There is no temporary workaround except shutting down the IMAP server. 3) special instructions and notes After successfully updating the cyrus-imapd package you have to issue the following command as root: /sbin/rccyrus restart 4) package location and checksums 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 for installation from the maintenance web. x86 Platform: SUSE Linux 9.2: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.2/rpm/i586/cyrus-imapd-2.2.8-6.3.… 563c7c359df3e4572c27bccd1c4962eb patch rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.2/rpm/i586/cyrus-imapd-2.2.8-6.3.… ceee2a62831855a563c56a0d7be12a6d source rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.2/rpm/src/cyrus-imapd-2.2.8-6.3.s… c24904edebe628e9dab9b805af56359a SUSE Linux 9.1: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.1/rpm/i586/cyrus-imapd-2.2.3-83.1… 53af4c594493abca71bd2789c6599019 patch rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.1/rpm/i586/cyrus-imapd-2.2.3-83.1… 2c596ce65de5d13c0ca14459e0462bd9 source rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.1/rpm/src/cyrus-imapd-2.2.3-83.19… 015268204791fc27c128705b1a22ca37 SUSE Linux 9.0: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.0/rpm/i586/cyrus-imapd-2.1.15-89.… ed3c4bc9178eea7ad5a8a406d53a230d patch rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.0/rpm/i586/cyrus-imapd-2.1.15-89.… b1ddc189663da719ec5d55ea186b795b source rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.0/rpm/src/cyrus-imapd-2.1.15-89.s… 6692959f014ed63d0c83ca02632e456b SUSE Linux 8.2: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.2/rpm/i586/cyrus-imapd-2.1.12-75.… 09223533665db543be3e85b53b89b50a patch rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.2/rpm/i586/cyrus-imapd-2.1.12-75.… c4606d6b48577af54486c40fb35a31b9 source rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.2/rpm/src/cyrus-imapd-2.1.12-75.s… beb341ef93888c1f1e3f6e6532109b0d SUSE Linux 8.1: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.1/rpm/i586/cyrus-imapd-2.1.16-56.… 2d5c5cc7de173ff8153544166a19533c patch rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.1/rpm/i586/cyrus-imapd-2.1.16-56.… 8d1cc9bea8f323c15b982dfc43df7b6c source rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.1/rpm/src/cyrus-imapd-2.1.16-56.s… bd1e20bd42974bbe9f8e3aee826a4444 x86-64 Platform: SUSE Linux 9.2: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/x86_64/update/9.2/rpm/x86_64/cyrus-imapd-2.2.8-… 57bd598694d82f7f52af34659773d890 patch rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/x86_64/update/9.2/rpm/x86_64/cyrus-imapd-2.2.8-… 9702a0541440af888aead910120085af source rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/x86_64/update/9.2/rpm/src/cyrus-imapd-2.2.8-6.3… c24904edebe628e9dab9b805af56359a SUSE Linux 9.1: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/x86_64/update/9.1/rpm/x86_64/cyrus-imapd-2.2.3-… d279dd8620493482cba6b4706ea6124d patch rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/x86_64/update/9.1/rpm/x86_64/cyrus-imapd-2.2.3-… 33184f8fb2dfeb4f27fe506ee204ee82 source rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/x86_64/update/9.1/rpm/src/cyrus-imapd-2.2.3-83.… 742352f41f57c4b3221e0672e31f865f SUSE Linux 9.0: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/x86_64/update/9.0/rpm/x86_64/cyrus-imapd-2.1.15… d9e387c4161fdeef2680508d17df159a patch rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/x86_64/update/9.0/rpm/x86_64/cyrus-imapd-2.1.15… 4411a55662c6567ba48055c72d9ebd1d source rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/x86_64/update/9.0/rpm/src/cyrus-imapd-2.1.15-89… 42cc2346b342320e77be923ee12c5678 ______________________________________________________________________________ 5) Pending vulnerabilities in SUSE Distributions and Workarounds: - suidperl SUSE LINUX 9.2 follows the new upstream policy to install /usr/bin/suidperl as hardlink to /usr/bin/perl. In previous perl versions it used to be a hardlink to /usr/bin/sperl*. Therefore one must not set a setuid bit on /usr/bin/suidperl as suggested in the RPM package description of perl. Set the bit on /usr/bin/sperl5.8.5 instead if you really need the suid feature. Also check your /etc/permissions.local file for references of /usr/bin/suidperl if you where upgrading from previous SUSE LINUX releases. SUSE Linux is not affected by this problem in the default installation, only if the administrator added the s-bit to suidperl. - putty The SUSE LINUX distribution comes with putty a Windows-based SSH and Telnet client. This client is vulnerable to a buffer overflow that can be exploited by a malicious SSH server to execute arbitrary code remotely. Putty is just included on the CDs/DVDs and is not installed on the Linux system. Upcoming distributions will have this vulnerability fixed. ______________________________________________________________________________ 6) 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 recommend against subscribing to security lists that cause the e-mail 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 file name 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 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.

SUSE Security Announcement: various kernel problems (SUSE-SA:2004:042)
by Marcus Meissner 01 Dec '04

01 Dec '04

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- ______________________________________________________________________________ SUSE Security Announcement Package: kernel Announcement-ID: SUSE-SA:2004:042 Date: Wednesday, Dec 1st 2004 15:00 MEST Affected products: 8.1, 8.2, 9.0, 9.1, 9.2 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8, 9 SUSE LINUX Desktop 1.0 Novell Linux Desktop 9 Vulnerability Type: local and remote denial of service Severity (1-10): 7 SUSE default package: yes Cross References: CAN-2004-0883 CAN-2004-0949 CAN-2004-1070 CAN-2004-1071 CAN-2004-1072 CAN-2004-1073 CAN-2004-1074 Content of this advisory: 1) security vulnerability resolved: - kernel remote and local denial of service problems problem description 2) solution/workaround 3) special instructions and notes 4) package location and checksums 5) pending vulnerabilities, solutions, workarounds: - see SUSE Security Summary Report 6) standard appendix (further information) ______________________________________________________________________________ 1) problem description, brief discussion The Linux kernel is the base of the SUSE Linux system. Several security problems have been found and addressed by the SUSE Security Team. The following issues are present in all SUSE Linux based products. - Several remote denial of service conditions have been found in the smbfs file system, reported by Stefan Esser. The vulnerability could be used by a hostile SMB server (or an attacker injecting packets into the network) to crash the clients kernel. These issues have been assigned the Mitre CVE IDs CAN-2004-0883 and CAN-2004-0949. We thank Stefan Esser for reporting this issue and providing patches. - Paul Starzetz of isec.pl found several missing boundary checks in the ELF loader routines of the Linux kernel which could potentially lead a local attacker to gain root privileges by using handmade ELF binaries. These issues have been assigned the Mitre CVE IDs CAN-2004-1070,CAN-2004-1071,CAN-2004-1072, and CAN-2004-1073. We thank Paul for reporting this issue and Chris Wright for providing a patch to fix the issue. - Handcrafted a.out binaries could be used to trigger a local denial of service condition in both 2.4 and 2.6 Linux kernels, allowing a local attacker to render the system unusable. Fixes for this problem were done by Chris Wright. This issue has been assigned the Mitre CVE ID CAN-2004-1074. We wish to thank Chris for providing patches. - SUSE Linux 9.1 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 now contain stricter checks what commands you can send to read-only opened CD devices. This way local attackers only having read access to the device will not be able to destroy the firmware of SCSI related devices. This update will break the k3b and the dvd+rw-tools packages. We have released fixed versions of those packages. - The SUSE Linux 8.1, 8.2, and 9.0 and the SUSE Linux Desktop 1.0 kernel were missing the kNFSD remote denial of service fix. The respective fixes are now in the released kernels. Also, the following critical bugs were fixed by this update: - A very small race condition on SMP systems with more than 4GB of memory that could expose foreign memory pages was found and fixed by Andrea Arcangeli of SUSE. - On SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 a memory corruption in the NFS readdirplus command could lead to kernel crashes and potentially corruption of data on disk. This problem was fixed. - On SUSE Linux 9.2 the "dazuko" kernel module of the "antivir" RPM package caused problems with programs using Linux capabilities. The module was fixed. - A security fix for buffer overflows in the decnet protocol driver was incorrect and caused kernel crashes. 2) solution/workaround There is no workaround, please install the fixed kernels. 3) special instructions and notes 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, the steps outlined in a particular paragraph may or may not be applicable to your situation. Therefore, please make sure to read through all of the steps below before attempting any of these procedures. 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 it 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 Following are the possible kernel types (disregard 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 chip sets 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 kernel-64k-pagesize kernel-bigsmp kernel-default kernel-smp **** Step 2: Download the package for your system Please download the kernel RPM package for your distribution with the name as indicated by Step 1. The list of all kernel rpm packages is appended below. Note: The kernel-source package does not contain a binary kernel in bootable form. Instead, it contains the sources that the binary kernel rpm packages are created 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 the locations below ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/. 8.1/rpm/i586 8.2/rpm/i586 9.0/rpm/i586 9.1/rpm/i586 9.2/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 followed. If you run SUSE LINUX 8.1 and haven't applied the kernel update (SUSE-SA:2003:034), AND you are using 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 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 run a SUSE LINUX 8.x, SLES8, or SUSE LINUX 9.x system, there are two options: Depending on your software configuration, you have either 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 completed on 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 have completed, then reboot using the command shutdown -r now or init 6 Your system should now shut down and reboot with the new kernel. 4) package location and checksums 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. <pkg_sum output> ______________________________________________________________________________ 5) Pending vulnerabilities in SUSE Distributions and Workarounds: Please see our weekly summary report. ______________________________________________________________________________ 6) 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.
