6) Authenticity Verification and Additional Information
- Announcement authenticity verification:
SUSE security announcements are published via mailing lists and on Web
sites. The authenticity and integrity of a SUSE security announcement is
guaranteed by a cryptographic signature in each announcement. All SUSE
security announcements are published with a valid signature.
To verify the signature of the announcement, save it as text into a file
and run the command
gpg --verify <file>
replacing <file> with the name of the file where you saved the
announcement. The output for a valid signature looks like:
gpg: Signature made <DATE> using RSA key ID 3D25D3D9
gpg: Good signature from "SuSE Security Team <security(a)suse.de>"
where <DATE> is replaced by the date the document was signed.
If the security team's key is not contained in your key ring, you can
import it from the first installation CD. To import the key, use the
command
gpg --import gpg-pubkey-3d25d3d9-36e12d04.asc
- Package authenticity verification:
SUSE update packages are available on many mirror FTP servers all over the
world. While this service is considered valuable and important to the free
and open source software community, the authenticity and the integrity of
a package needs to be verified to ensure that it has not been tampered
with.
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) Using the internal gpg signatures of the rpm package
2) MD5 checksums as provided in this announcement
1) The internal 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, replacing <file.rpm> with the
filename of the RPM package downloaded. The package is unmodified if it
contains a valid signature from build(a)suse.de with the key ID 9C800ACA.
This key is automatically imported into the RPM database (on
RPMv4-based distributions) and the gpg key ring of 'root' during
installation. You can also find it on the first installation CD and at
the end of this announcement.
2) If you need an alternative means of verification, use the md5sum
command to verify the authenticity of the packages. Execute the command
md5sum <filename.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
SUSE security announcement. Because the announcement containing the
checksums is cryptographically signed (by security(a)suse.de), the
checksums show proof of the authenticity of the package if the
signature of the announcement is valid. Note that the md5 sums
published in the SUSE Security Announcements are valid for the
respective packages only. Newer versions of these packages cannot be
verified.
- SUSE runs two security mailing lists to which any interested party may
subscribe:

Content of this advisory:
1) Solved Security Vulnerabilities:
- xdg-utils command injection
- clamav 0.92.1 security update
- wireshark 0.99.5 security release
- pcre utf-8 buffer overflow problem
2) Pending Vulnerabilities, Solutions, and Work-Arounds:
None listed this week.
3) Authenticity Verification and Additional Information
______________________________________________________________________________
1) Solved Security Vulnerabilities
To avoid flooding mailing lists with SUSE Security Announcements for minor
issues, SUSE Security releases weekly summary reports for the low profile
vulnerability fixes. The SUSE Security Summary Reports do not list md5 sums
or download URLs like the SUSE Security Announcements that are released for
more severe vulnerabilities.
Fixed packages for the following incidents are already available on our FTP
server and via the YaST Online Update.
- xdg-utils command injection
xdg-open and xdg-email didn't properly check their arguments.
Remote attackers could send prepared documents or mails with bad
links to users, where on activation of those links code could have
been executed. (CVE-2008-0386).
- clamav 0.92.1 security update
The clamav version was upgraded to 0.92.1 fixing numerous flaws
including some security problems (CVE-2008-0318, CVE-2008-0728).
Please note that the version number of the clamav library has changed
with version 0.92. Programs linked against older libclamav therefore
need to be updated as well.
clamav was upgraded on all affected products.
Updates were already released Friday 15th.
- wireshark 0.99.5 security release
This update fixes several security bugs in wireshark that can be
used to crash the application and to possibly execute arbitrary
code remotely.
Security issues tracked by the CVE IDs:
CVE-2007-6111, CVE-2007-6112, CVE-2007-6113
CVE-2007-6114, CVE-2007-6115, CVE-2007-6116
CVE-2007-6117, CVE-2007-6118, CVE-2007-6119
CVE-2007-6120, CVE-2007-6121, CVE-2007-6438
CVE-2007-6439, CVE-2007-6441, CVE-2007-6450
CVE-2007-6451
have been fixed.
Wireshark and on older products Ethereal were updated.
Please note that updates were already delivered on Jan 21st, they
were just not listed yet in any advisory.
- pcre utf-8 buffer overflow problem
Specially crafted regular expressions could lead to a buffer overflow
in the pcre library. Applications using pcre to process regular
expressions from untrusted sources could therefore potentially be
exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2008-0674)
This problem affected only openSUSE 10.3 and was fixed there.

______________________________________________________________________________
1) Problem Description and Brief Discussion
This version update to 8.1.2 fixes numerous bugs, including some
security problems.
While Adobe did not publish any details about those problems yet,
third parties have listed some.
The official Adobe page is:
http://www.adobe.com/support/security/advisories/apsa08-01.html
CVE-2008-0655: Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Adobe Reader
and Acrobat before 8.1.2 have unknown impact and
attack vectors.
CVE-2008-0667: The DOC.print function in the Adobe JavaScript API,
as used by Adobe Acrobat and Reader before 8.1.2, allows
remote attackers to configure silent non-interactive
printing, and trigger the printing of an arbitrary
number of copies of a document.
CVE-2008-0726: Integer overflow in Adobe Reader and Acrobat 8.1.1 and
earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary
code via crafted arguments to the printSepsWithParams,
which triggers memory corruption.
Packages for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 and Novell Linux Desktop
9 are not yet available, since we cannot upgrade to Acrobat Reader 8
on those machines. As soon as a fixed Acrobat Reader 7 is released,
they will receive updates.
2) Solution or Work-Around
A workaround would be to use one of the many Opensource PDF readers,
like kpdf, evince, xpdf or others.
3) Special Instructions and Notes
Please close and restart all running instances of Acrobat Reader after the update.
4) Package Location and Checksums
The preferred method for installing security updates is to use the YaST
Online Update (YOU) tool. YOU detects which updates are required and
automatically performs the necessary steps to verify and install them.
Alternatively, download the update packages for your distribution manually
and verify their integrity by the methods listed in Section 6 of this
announcement. Then install the packages using the command
rpm -Fhv <file.rpm>
to apply the update, replacing <file.rpm> with the filename of the
downloaded RPM package.

6) Authenticity Verification and Additional Information
- Announcement authenticity verification:
SUSE security announcements are published via mailing lists and on Web
sites. The authenticity and integrity of a SUSE security announcement is
guaranteed by a cryptographic signature in each announcement. All SUSE
security announcements are published with a valid signature.
To verify the signature of the announcement, save it as text into a file
and run the command
gpg --verify <file>
replacing <file> with the name of the file where you saved the
announcement. The output for a valid signature looks like:
gpg: Signature made <DATE> using RSA key ID 3D25D3D9
gpg: Good signature from "SuSE Security Team <security(a)suse.de>"
where <DATE> is replaced by the date the document was signed.
If the security team's key is not contained in your key ring, you can
import it from the first installation CD. To import the key, use the
command
gpg --import gpg-pubkey-3d25d3d9-36e12d04.asc
- Package authenticity verification:
SUSE update packages are available on many mirror FTP servers all over the
world. While this service is considered valuable and important to the free
and open source software community, the authenticity and the integrity of
a package needs to be verified to ensure that it has not been tampered
with.
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) Using the internal gpg signatures of the rpm package
2) MD5 checksums as provided in this announcement
1) The internal 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, replacing <file.rpm> with the
filename of the RPM package downloaded. The package is unmodified if it
contains a valid signature from build(a)suse.de with the key ID 9C800ACA.
This key is automatically imported into the RPM database (on
RPMv4-based distributions) and the gpg key ring of 'root' during
installation. You can also find it on the first installation CD and at
the end of this announcement.
2) If you need an alternative means of verification, use the md5sum
command to verify the authenticity of the packages. Execute the command
md5sum <filename.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
SUSE security announcement. Because the announcement containing the
checksums is cryptographically signed (by security(a)suse.de), the
checksums show proof of the authenticity of the package if the
signature of the announcement is valid. Note that the md5 sums
published in the SUSE Security Announcements are valid for the
respective packages only. Newer versions of these packages cannot be
verified.
- SUSE runs two security mailing lists to which any interested party may
subscribe:
opensuse-security(a)opensuse.org
- General Linux and SUSE security discussion.
All SUSE security announcements are sent to this list.
To subscribe, send an e-mail to
<opensuse-security+subscribe(a)opensuse.org>.

1) Problem Description and Brief Discussion
This kernel update fixes the following critical security problem:
- CVE-2008-0600: A local privilege escalation was found in the
vmsplice_pipe system call, which could be used by local attackers
to gain root access.
This bug affects the following products:
- openSUSE 10.2 and 10.3
- SUSE Linux Enterprise Realtime 10 (SP1)
Fixed packages have been released for openSUSE 10.2 and 10.3.
For SUSE Linux Enterprise Realtime 10 packages are being prepared
currently.
Since this problem affects Linux kernels starting with 2.6.17 and
vmsplice was not back-ported, no older products are affected.
- SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8, 9, and 10: Not affected.
- SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10: Not affected.
- Novell Linux Desktop 9: Not affected.
- SUSE Linux 10.1: Not affected.
Following minor security problems were fixed additionally:
- CVE-2007-6206: Core dumps from root might be accessible to the
wrong owner. This was fixed for openSUSE 10.3 only.
- CVE-2007-6151: The isdn_ioctl function in isdn_common.c allowed
local users to cause a denial of service via a crafted ioctl
struct in which iocts is not null terminated, which triggers a
buffer overflow. This problem was fixed for openSUSE 10.2.
And the following bugs were fixed for openSUSE 10.3 (numbers are
https://bugzilla.novell.com/ references):
- Update to minor kernel version 2.6.22.17
- networking bugfixes
- contains the following patches which were removed:
- patches.arch/acpica-psd.patch
- patches.fixes/invalid-semicolon
- patches.fixes/nopage-range-fix.patch
- patches.arch/acpi_thermal_blacklist_add_r50p.patch:
Avoid critical temp shutdowns on specific ThinkPad R50p
(https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=333043).
- patches.rt/megasas_IRQF_NODELAY.patch: Convert megaraid SAS
IRQ to non-threaded IRQ (337489).
- patches.drivers/libata-implement-force-parameter added to
series.conf.
- patches.xen/xen3-fixup-arch-i386: Xen3 i386 build fixes.
- patches.xen/xenfb-module-param: Re: Patching Xen virtual
framebuffer.
2) Solution or Work-Around
There is no known workaround, please install the update packages.
3) Special Instructions and Notes
The machine needs to be rebooted to make the changes active.
4) Package Location and Checksums
The preferred method for installing security updates is to use the YaST
Online Update (YOU) tool. YOU detects which updates are required and
automatically performs the necessary steps to verify and install them.
Alternatively, download the update packages for your distribution manually
and verify their integrity by the methods listed in Section 6 of this
announcement. Then install the packages using the command
rpm -Fhv <file.rpm>
to apply the update, replacing <file.rpm> with the filename of the
downloaded RPM package.

6) Authenticity Verification and Additional Information
- Announcement authenticity verification:
SUSE security announcements are published via mailing lists and on Web
sites. The authenticity and integrity of a SUSE security announcement is
guaranteed by a cryptographic signature in each announcement. All SUSE
security announcements are published with a valid signature.
To verify the signature of the announcement, save it as text into a file
and run the command
gpg --verify <file>
replacing <file> with the name of the file where you saved the
announcement. The output for a valid signature looks like:
gpg: Signature made <DATE> using RSA key ID 3D25D3D9
gpg: Good signature from "SuSE Security Team <security(a)suse.de>"
where <DATE> is replaced by the date the document was signed.
If the security team's key is not contained in your key ring, you can
import it from the first installation CD. To import the key, use the
command
gpg --import gpg-pubkey-3d25d3d9-36e12d04.asc
- Package authenticity verification:
SUSE update packages are available on many mirror FTP servers all over the
world. While this service is considered valuable and important to the free
and open source software community, the authenticity and the integrity of
a package needs to be verified to ensure that it has not been tampered
with.
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) Using the internal gpg signatures of the rpm package
2) MD5 checksums as provided in this announcement
1) The internal 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, replacing <file.rpm> with the
filename of the RPM package downloaded. The package is unmodified if it
contains a valid signature from build(a)suse.de with the key ID 9C800ACA.
This key is automatically imported into the RPM database (on
RPMv4-based distributions) and the gpg key ring of 'root' during
installation. You can also find it on the first installation CD and at
the end of this announcement.
2) If you need an alternative means of verification, use the md5sum
command to verify the authenticity of the packages. Execute the command
md5sum <filename.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
SUSE security announcement. Because the announcement containing the
checksums is cryptographically signed (by security(a)suse.de), the
checksums show proof of the authenticity of the package if the
signature of the announcement is valid. Note that the md5 sums
published in the SUSE Security Announcements are valid for the
respective packages only. Newer versions of these packages cannot be
verified.

Hi folks,
As you are undoubtly aware a new local root exploit has been
discovered on the weekend and reported to a wide audience.
The CVE identifier is CVE-2008-0600.
The problem affects only kernels 2.6.17 and newer, so it affects
only following of our products:
- openSUSE 10.2 (2.6.18.x kernel)
- openSUSE 10.3 (2.6.22.x kernel)
This problem does NOT affect all others products:
- SUSE Linux 10.1 (2.6.16.x kernel)
- SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 (2.6.16.x kernel)
- SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 (2.6.5 kernel)
- Novell Linux Desktop 9 (2.6.5 kernel)
- SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 (2.4.21 kernel)
Updates are in preparation for openSUSE 10.2 and 10.3 and will hopefully
be released tomorrow (Tuesday) morning german time.
Test kernel updates are available in our Online Update Betatest Repositories:
- openSUSE 10.3: http://download.opensuse.org/update/10.3-test/
kernel version-release of fixed kernel: 2.6.22.17-0.1
- openSUSE 10.2: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/update/10.2-test/
kernel version-release of fixed kernel: 2.6.18.8-0.9
Please note that these update channels contain "beta" quality updates,
so are not recommended for production use systems. Only use the kernel.
Ciao, Marcus

- nss_ldap incorrect data
- cairo integer overflows in PNG decoder
- geronimo start script problems
- moodle XSS problems
- SDL_image GIF problems
- python imageop integer overflow
- Mysql security problems
- NX also affected by X.org security problems
- xemacs commandline buffer overflow
2) Pending Vulnerabilities, Solutions, and Work-Arounds:
None listed this week.
3) Authenticity Verification and Additional Information
______________________________________________________________________________
1) Solved Security Vulnerabilities
To avoid flooding mailing lists with SUSE Security Announcements for minor
issues, SUSE Security releases weekly summary reports for the low profile
vulnerability fixes. The SUSE Security Summary Reports do not list md5 sums
or download URLs like the SUSE Security Announcements that are released for
more severe vulnerabilities.
Fixed packages for the following incidents are already available on our FTP
server and via the YaST Online Update.
- SUN Java 1.5 and 1.6 update
SUN Java 1.5.0 was brought to update14 and SUN Java 1.6.0 was
brought to update4. Details for the security issues fixed are not
yet publicly known, but the changelog lists several issues marked
as security.
The update also contains timezone update 2007k and was released
for SUSE Linux 10.1, openSUSE 10.2 and 10.3.
- nss_ldap incorrect data
nss_ldap returned incorrect data under certain circumstances to
the calling process. Some applications could therefore work with
wrong user data (CVE-2007-5794).
This has been fixed for all distributions containing nss_ldap.
- cairo integer overflows in PNG decoder
The cairo libraries were updated to fix several integer overflows
while decoding PNG images. This can be exploited remotely with
user-assistance to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2007-5503)
Updates have been provided for SUSE Linux Enterprise 10, SUSE Linux
10.1, openSUSE 10.2 and 10.3
- geronimo start script problems
A chown in the SUSE supplied Apache geronimo init script could
change ownership of directories it did not own, due to following
symlinks. The default setup would corrupt /var/tmp on start
of geronimo.
While there is potential to exploit this problem,
the administrator will have likely noticed this before already.
- moodle XSS problems
The install script of moodle is vulnerable to cross site scripting
(XSS). This flaw is only exploitable if moodle isn't fully installed
yet. Therefore it's unlikely to be much of a problem in practice. To
actually exploit it an attacker would have to know about a person
that is just about to install moodle (CVE-2008-0123).
- SDL_image GIF problems
Specially crafted GIF files could crash the SDL_image library
(CVE-2006-4484).
Updates have been released for SUSE Linux 10.1, openSUSE 10.2
and 10.3.
- python imageop integer overflow
Specially crafted images could trigger an integer overflow in the
imageop module of python (CVE-2007-4965).
Python has been updated on all SUSE Linux based distributions.
- Mysql security problems
The database server MySQL was updated to fix various security
vulnerabilities. Note: not all versions are affected by every bug:
- CVE-2007-2583: a denial of service attack in in_decimal::set for
logged in users.
- CVE-2007-2691: RENAME TABLE did not require DROP privileges,
allowing remote authenticated users to rename arbitrary tables
- CVE-2007-2692: remote authenticated users could gain privileges
due to a bug in SQL SECURITY INVOKER stored routine handling
- CVE-2007-5925: a denial of service attack by remote authenticated
users via a certain CONTAINS operation on an indexed column
- CVE-2007-5969: allowed remote authenticated users to overwrite
system table information and gain privileges via symlinks
- CVE-2007-6303: allowed remote authenticated users to gain
privileges via CREATE SQL SECURITY DEFINER VIEW and ALTER VIEW
statements
- CVE-2007-6304: denial of service attack by remote authenticated
users by performing a specific SHOW TABLE STATUS query
MySQL has been updated on all SUSE Linux based distributions.
- NX also affected by X.org security problems
This update fixes various Xserver security issues that are also
present in NX:
XInput Extension Memory Corruption Vulnerability [IDEF2888 CVE-2007-6427].
TOG-CUP Extension Memory Corruption Vulnerability [IDEF2901 CVE-2007-6428].
EVI Extension Integer Overflow Vulnerability [IDEF2902 CVE-2007-6429].
MIT-SHM Extension Integer Overflow Vulnerability [IDEF2904 CVE-2007-6429].
- xemacs commandline buffer overflow
A buffer overflow in xemacs commandline handling was
fixed. (CVE-2007-6109)
This problem affected only openSUSE 10.3.

2) Pending Vulnerabilities, Solutions, and Work-Arounds
None listed this week.

3) Authenticity Verification and Additional Information
- Announcement authenticity verification:
SUSE security announcements are published via mailing lists and on Web
sites. The authenticity and integrity of a SUSE security announcement is
guaranteed by a cryptographic signature in each announcement. All SUSE
security announcements are published with a valid signature.
To verify the signature of the announcement, save it as text into a file
and run the command
gpg --verify <file>
replacing <file> with the name of the file containing the announcement.
The output for a valid signature looks like:
gpg: Signature made <DATE> using RSA key ID 3D25D3D9
gpg: Good signature from "SuSE Security Team <security(a)suse.de>"
where <DATE> is replaced by the date the document was signed.
If the security team's key is not contained in your key ring, you can
import it from the first installation CD. To import the key, use the
command
gpg --import gpg-pubkey-3d25d3d9-36e12d04.asc
- Package authenticity verification:
SUSE update packages are available on many mirror FTP servers all over the
world. While this service is considered valuable and important to the free
and open source software community, the authenticity and integrity of a
package needs to be verified to ensure that it has not been tampered with.
The internal 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, replacing <file.rpm> with the
filename of the RPM package downloaded. The package is unmodified if it
contains a valid signature from build(a)suse.de with the key ID 9C800ACA.
This key is automatically imported into the RPM database (on RPMv4-based
distributions) and the gpg key ring of 'root' during installation. You can
also find it on the first installation CD and included at the end of this
announcement.
- SUSE runs two security mailing lists to which any interested party may
subscribe:
opensuse-security(a)opensuse.org
- General Linux and SUSE security discussion.
All SUSE security announcements are sent to this list.
To subscribe, send an e-mail to
<opensuse-security+subscribe(a)opensuse.org>.

- SUSE's announce-only mailing list.
Only SUSE's security announcements are sent to this list.

Hi,
With the release of a Squid security fix on December 30 2007 we have
entered a new maintenance phase for the SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8
(SLES 8) line of products.
Following product life time changes become active as of now:
1. Extended Maintenance for a SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 subset
Following subset of products have now entered extended maintenance:
- SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 for x86 (Intel 32bit)
- SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 for IBM S/390 and IBM zSeries (S/390 31bit)
Using this maintenance extension requires an additional subscription.
The conditions and how-to-buy for the extension are shown in the
following 2 page document:
http://www.novell.com/rc/docrepository/public/14/basedocument.2007-11-05.20…
To migrate your machine to SLES 8 Extended Maintenance, replace in the files:
/var/adm/YaST/ProdDB/prod_*
the line (if present):
=YouPath: i386/update/SuSE-SLES/8
by:
=YouPath: i386/update/SuSE-SLES/8-EXTENDED
(replace i386 by s390 for the the S/390 version).
2. End of Life for the rest of the SLES 8 architectures
Following products have reached End of Life, support for them is
discontinued and no more updates will be published for them:
- SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 for AMD64 (AMD 64bit)
- SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 for IPF (Intel Itanium)
- SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 for IBM zSeries (IBM zSeries 64bit)
- SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 for IBM iSeries and IBM pSeries (IBM PowerPC)
Currently the following additional SUSE Linux Enterprise Server products exist
and are in maintenance (regular / extended maintenance):
- SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 (regular maintenance until July 30th 2009)
- SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (regular maintenance until July 31st 2011)
Please see the product lifecycle page at http://support.novell.com/lifecycle/
for more information.
So lets take a look back at the history of SLES 8...
SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 was released end of October 2002, making its
regular maintenance lifetime 5 years.
