1) problem description, brief discussion, solution, upgrade information
The kdelibs3 (kdelibs for SLES7 based products) package is a core package
for the K desktop environment (KDE). The URI handler of the kdelibs3
and kdelibs class library contains a flaw which allows remote
attackers to create arbitrary files as the user utilizing the
kdelibs3/kdelibs package.
Affected are applications which use the kdelibs3/kdelibs URI handler
such as Konqueror or Kmail.
The original KDE advisory can be found at
http://www.kde.org/info/security/advisory-20040517-1.txt
Please download the update package for your distribution and verify its
integrity by the methods listed in section 3) of this announcement.
Then, install the package using the command "rpm -Fhv file.rpm" to apply
the update.
Our maintenance customers are being notified individually. The packages
are being offered to install from the maintenance web.

2) Pending vulnerabilities in SUSE Distributions and Workarounds:
- rsync
rsync prior to version 2.6.1 does not properly sanitize paths
when running as read/write daemon without chroot. New update packages
are available on our ftp servers which fix this problem.
- film
The film program creates temporary files in an insecure way. New
update packages are available on our ftp servers.
- apache/mod_ssl
A buffer overflow in a uuencode function of mod_ssl has been fixed as
well as various minor bugs (CAN-2003-0987, CAN-2003-0020, CAN-2004-0174
and CAN-2003-0993). New packages are currently being tested and will
soon be 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>.
The <security(a)suse.de> public key is listed below.

1) problem description, brief discussion, solution, upgrade information
The Concurrent Versions System (CVS) offers tools which allow developers
to share and maintain large software projects.
Stefan Esser reported buffer overflow conditions within the cvs program.
They allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code as the user
the cvs server runs as. Since there is no easy workaround we strongly
recommend to update the cvs package.
Please download the update package for your distribution and verify its
integrity by the methods listed in section 3) of this announcement.
Then, install the package using the command "rpm -Fhv file.rpm" to apply
the update.
Our maintenance customers are being notified individually. The packages
are being offered to install from the maintenance web.

2) Pending vulnerabilities in SUSE Distributions and Workarounds:
- neon
The neon library contains a buffer overflow which allows attackers
to execute arbitrary code as the user utilizing the neon library.
New neon packages are available on our ftp servers. CAN-2004-0398
has been assigned to this issue.
- subversion
New subversion, subversion-devel and subversion-server packages are
available on our ftp servers, fixing a stack overflow issue while
handling REPORT queries. CAN-2004-0397 has been assigned to this issue.
- kdelibs/kdelib3
New kdelibs and kdelibs3 packages are currently being tested, fixing
the vulnerabilities described in
http://www.kde.org/info/security/advisory-20040517-1.txt.
New packages will soon be 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.

1) problem description, brief discussion, solution, upgrade information
The Midnight Commander (mc) is a file manager for the console.
The mc code is vulnerable to several security related bugs like buffer
overflows, incorrect format string handling and insecure usage of
temporary files.
These bugs can be exploited by local users to gain access to the
privileges of the user running mc.
There is no workaround known other then avoid using mc.
Please download the update package for your distribution and verify its
integrity by the methods listed in section 3) of this announcement.
Then, install the package using the command "rpm -Fhv file.rpm" to apply
the update.
Our maintenance customers are being notified individually. The packages
are being offered to install from the maintenance web.

2) Pending vulnerabilities in SUSE Distributions and Workarounds:
- sharutils
This update fixes a buffer overflow in shar while handling the '-o'
commandline option. The buffer overflow can be abused to execute
commands remotely in conjunction with other systems (CGI, ...).
New packages are available on our FTP servers.
- apache2/-devel/-doc/-example-pages/-prefork/-perchild/-worker,
apr, libapr0
These updates fix a memory leak in the mod_ssl module of apache2
(CAN-2004-0113), a possible remote DoS attack on accessing rarely used
listening ports (CAN-2004-0174), and a problem with unescaped special
characters in log files that could present a security hazard for terminal
emulators (CAN-2003-0020).
New packages are available on our FTP servers.
- xine, xine-lib, xine-ui
A buffer overflow exists in the xine library. Attackers could execute
arbitrary code as the user utilizing the xine library. More information
can be found on http://www.xinehq.de/index.php/security/XSA-2004-3.
New packages are available on our FTP servers.
- sysconfig
This update fix the restart of the firewall after a dialup connection is
established. Without this restart, all ports are closed on the dialup
interface and the connection seems to be not working.
This bug affects SUSE LINUX 9.1 only.
New packages are available on our FTP servers.
- clamav
The ClamAV project recently changed the format of their virus
definition database files to support detection of new sorts of
viruses. This update is needed to make use of the files in the new
format.
New packages are available on our FTP servers.
- exim
The exim mailer contains a buffer overflow in its header parsing
functions which may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.
Only installations with the "verify=header_syntax" config option enabled
are vulnerable to this attack. SUSE Linux is not configured that
way by default. CAN-2004-0400 has been assigned to this bug.
New packages are available on our FTP servers.
- utempter
This updates addresses a possible symlink attack while using
tty device files. This bug may lead to a local root compromise.
New packages are available on our FTP servers.
- busybox
Busybox does not handle netlink sockets correctly, which allows
local attackers to spoof netlink messages to the busybox process
New packages are available on our FTP servers.
- monit
There exists security vulnerabilities in the monit HTTP interface,
which could allow an attacker in the worst case to gain root access to
the system. This issue only affects monit if monit is started with
http server support.
See http://www.tildeslash.com/monit/secadv_20040305.txt for details.
New packages are available on our FTP servers.
- ethereal
Several buffer overflows in the ethereal code were fixed.
These buffer overflows can be used to gain remote access to a system
where ethereal is running on. (CAN-2004-0176, CAN-2004-0367, CAN-2004-036)
New packages are available on our FTP servers.
- kphone
The kphone update fixes a possible denial-of-service attack in SIP client
code.
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 Security Announcement
Package: Live CD 9.1
Announcement-ID: SuSE-SA:2004:011
Date: Thursday, May 6th 2004 22:30 MEST
Affected products: SUSE LINUX 9.1 Personal Edition Live CD
Vulnerability Type: remote root access
Severity (1-10): 8
SuSE default package: yes
Other affected systems: none
Content of this advisory:
1) security vulnerability resolved: Live CD 9.1
problem description, discussion, solution and upgrade information
2) pending vulnerabilities, solutions, workarounds
3) standard appendix (further information)
______________________________________________________________________________
1) problem description, brief discussion, solution, upgrade information
The freshly released SUSE LINUX 9.1 comes in two variants:
* SUSE LINUX 9.1 Professional (5 CD-ROMs, 2 double sided DVDs, printed
manuals, for Intel i386 32Bit platform and 1 DVD for the AMD 64Bit
platform)
* SUSE LINUX 9.1 Personal (2 CD-ROMs: 1 installable CD-ROM, 1 Live CD-ROM
for running SUSE LINUX on your PC without actually installing the
system.)
This SUSE Security Announcement targets the Live CD that comes with the
SUSE LINUX 9.1 Personal edition. The Live CD can boot and run on any PC
that has a CD-ROM drive, offering a convenient opportunity for users
who want to try out SUSE Linux without any modification to the system
that is installed on the computer. Similar CD-ROM iso images have been
available for download from our ftp server with each release of the
SUSE LINUX home user product for years.
Upon boot, the Live CD will automatically configure a network card if
one has been detected. It requires user interaction for dialup
network access.
A configuration error on the Live CD allows for a passwordless, remote
root login to the system via ssh, if the computer has booted from the
Live CD and if it is connected to a network. Since the CD-ROM is a
read-only medium by definition, there is no solution for this error
that would be persistent over a reboot from the Live CD. Manually
killing all running instances of the secure shell daemon ("killall
sshd" as root) after each boot cures the problem, while still exposing
the vulnerability in the time window between startup and the killing
of the sshd process.
It is a policy for a fresh install of SUSE LINUX products to enable
the user to log on to the system using secure shell (ssh). During the
installation of the system, the user is prompted for a root password.
The Live CD does not install any system on a medium and therefore does
not ask for a root password. By consequence, passwordless logins
should be denied on the system, regardless of whether the account in
question is the super user account or not. The Live CD 9.1 suffers
from this misconfiguration.
Our permanent fix for the vulnerability is to download the iso image
of the fixed Live CD 9.1 from the URL as listed below and to burn it
on a CD-R using a CD-burner and the software that comes with the SUSE
LINUX 9.1 Personal or Professional (cdrecord, k3b). The new image
still runs a secure shell daemon for remote login, but it does not
allow remote logins on a zero-length password account, and it denies
remote root login attempts, independently from the password.
We thank Patrick Kranefeld and Fabian Franz who have reported the
configuration neglectfulness on the SUSE LINUX 9.1 Live CD to SUSE
Security.
Image authenticity verification:
The file LiveCD-9.1-01.iso has a length of 706349056 bytes. If you run
the command "md5sum LiveCD-9.1-01.iso" after you have downloaded the
file, the md5sum command should print the following md5sum:
9f4ed1bc6b3ee582bf593fde75d5db43
This md5 sum is also contained in the file MD5SUMS in the same
directory as the LiveCD-9.1-01.iso file. Its signature (by
security(a)suse.de) is contained in the file MD5SUMS.sig.
The download location:
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/live-cd-9.1/LiveCD-9.1-01.iso
9f4ed1bc6b3ee582bf593fde75d5db43
A note: Please use a mirror for downloading the SUSE LINUX 9.1 Live
CD. Mirrors close to you can be found at
http://www.suse.com/us/private/download/ftp/int_mirrors.html
______________________________________________________________________________
2) Pending vulnerabilities in SuSE Distributions and Workarounds:
- canna
New canna packages are available on our ftp servers, fixing tmp race
conditions.
- xchat
A buffer overflow in the SOCKS5 code of the XChat program has been
fixed. New packages are available on our ftp servers.
- tcpdump
The tcpdump program contained a remote DoS condition in its ISAKMP
packet handling (CAN-2004-0183 and CAN-2004-0184).
Fixed packages are available on our ftp servers.
- lha
A buffer overflow in the header parsing routines of lha has been fixed.
Additionally lha did not properly handle pathnames within archives
(CAN-2004-0234 and CAN-2004-0235).
Fixed 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

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

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

Downsides: You must be able to verify the authenticity of the
announcement in the first place. If RPM packages are being rebuilt

md5 sums for the files are useless.
2) rpm package signatures provide an easy way to verify the authenticity

1) problem description, brief discussion, solution, upgrade information
Various vulnerabilities have been fixed in the newly available kernel
updates. The updates consist of fixes for the following vulnerabilities:
- The do_fork() memory leak, which could lead to a local DoS attack.
All kernels except for SLES7 are affected.
- The setsockopt() MCAST buffer overflow which allows local attackers
to execute arbitrary code with root privileges. Only SLES8 based
products and SL 8.1 and SL 9.0 kernels are affected by this bug.
- The misuse of the fb_copy_cmap() function which could also allow
local attackers to execute arbitrary code with root privileges.
Only the SL 9.1 kernel is affected.
- The integer overflow in the cpufreq_procctl() function.
Only the SL 9.1 kernel is affected.
- The wrong permissions on /proc/scsi/qla2300/HbaApiNode which allow
local attackers to start DoS attacks. SLES8 kernels and SL 8.1 and
9.0 kernels are affected.
- A buffer overflow in panic(). Although there seems no way to trigger
this bug, it has been fixed.
If you use a maintained product or SuSE Linux 8.1 or 9.0, we recommend
an update. If you offer shell access to users we recommend an update in
any case.
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.
Note: The update packages for the SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 7
(SLES7) are being tested at the moment and will be published as soon
as possible.
**** 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 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.
There is no workaround known.
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.

2) Pending vulnerabilities in SUSE Distributions and Workarounds:
- canna
New canna packages are available on our ftp servers, fixing tmp race
conditions.
- xchat
A buffer overflow in the SOCKS5 code of the XChat program has been
fixed. New packages are available on our ftp servers.
- tcpdump
The tcpdump program contained a remote DoS condition in its ISAKMP
packet handling (CAN-2004-0183 and CAN-2004-0184).
Fixed packages are available on our ftp servers.
- lha
A buffer overflow in the header parsing routines of lha has been fixed.
Additionally lha did not properly handle pathnames within archives
(CAN-2004-0234 and CAN-2004-0235).
Fixed 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 .
