Kernel Backdoor (April Fool's joke)

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- To those involved in Linux security: The latest release of "Linux-Magazin", a monthly German magazine that focuses on Linux, contains an article by Mirko Dölle about security problems in the Linux kernel. In particular, the article argues that IP packets could be forwarded to the address 208.47.125.33 (there is a PTR record at gary7.nsa.gov, which has an A record back to the same address). Many German Linux users have been calling SuSE support to learn details on how to deal with this problem, not willing to believe that the article is an April Fool's joke on security. None of the claims are correct, which makes a kernel update unnecessary for this particular problem. Now, as inclined readers of security mailing lists may have noticed, there are indeed security problems in the Linux kernel. These problems are no backdoors of any kind, and they are not related to the article mentioned above. In addition, the known kernel security issues are not remotely exploitable, which means that local shell access is needed to take advantage of the weaknesses. The weaknesses allow for a local attacker to gain superuser access to the system. SuSE will provide update packages for the supported distributions 6.3, 6.4, 7.0 and 7.1 shortly that eliminate the known problems. The SuSE kernels are standard kernels, equipped with a set of patches that introduce drivers and many other enhancements to the standard Linux kernel. The update packages are currently being tested and will be available and announced as soon as possible. As an information for those who compile and install their own kernels: The freshly released Linux kernel version 2.2.19 fixes the known issues in the kernel. It should run smoothly on all 6.x SuSE Linux distributions, but please note that 2.2.19 requires update packages for the lvm and/or the raidtools (formerly mdutils) package if lvm (logical volume manager) or the software raid facility of the Linux kernel are used. The lvm package is available for download from our ftp server ftp.suse.com, the raidtools package will follow soon.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- ______________________________________________________________________________ SuSE Security Announcement Package: joe Announcement-ID: SuSE-SA:2001:09 Date: Tuesday, March 27th, 2001 17.03 MEST Affected SuSE versions: 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 7.0, 7.1 Vulnerability Type: local privilege escalation Severity (1-10): 3 SuSE default package: yes Other affected systems: all system using joe Content of this advisory: 1) security vulnerability resolved: joe 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 A bug in joe(1), a userfriendly text editor, was found by Christer Öberg of Wkit Security AB a few weeks ago. After starting joe(1) it tries to open its configuration file joerc in the current directory, the users home directory and some other locations. joe(1) doesn't check the ownership of joerc when trying the current directory. An attacker could place a malicious joerc file in a public writeable directory, like /tmp, to execute commands with the privilege of any user (including root), which runs joe while being in this directory. Download the update package from locations desribed below and install the package with the command `rpm -Uhv file.rpm'. The md5sum for each file is in the line below. You can verify the integrity of the rpm files using the command `rpm --checksig --nogpg file.rpm', independently from the md5 signatures below. i386 Intel Platform: SuSE-7.1 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.1/ap1/joe-2.8-300.i386.rpm 3140f1eb79eb246ad98f7687de517371 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.1/zq1/joe-2.8-300.src.rpm 0c04bb25b8ae452f1fcdfe11af32e1b6 SuSE-7.0 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.0/ap1/joe-2.8-304.i386.rpm 2a406de36322fc7bc28aaeca0bbdf54d source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.0/zq1/joe-2.8-304.src.rpm 2aac0d130597d580d96c75d59397958c SuSE-6.4 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.4/ap1/joe-2.8-303.i386.rpm 348a5e4a981f76943c77431606e5c3b2 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.4/zq1/joe-2.8-303.src.rpm 9f938aa365460257baf56f5f92f565ee SuSE-6.3 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.3/ap1/joe-2.8-302.i386.rpm 236ec54a0251859e1c2c1fc4018b5dae source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.3/zq1/joe-2.8-302.src.rpm 49b638dd238cacc8e99048ee5a8024ea SuSE-6.2 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.2/ap1/joe-2.8-302.i386.rpm 094577b41a2ad5baa0d16f4d53378d0e source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.2/zq1/joe-2.8-302.src.rpm 78333a2bac40b08db1e54ccaf1380caf SuSE-6.1 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.1/ap1/joe-2.8-305.i386.rpm 72fbb78af21f3878f1ae8b8bc87c96f4 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.1/zq1/joe-2.8-305.src.rpm b4fbe27a24bf66d60db45da3c3d13020 Sparc Platform: SuSE-7.1 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/sparc/update/7.1/ap1/joe-2.8-290.sparc.rpm eeb78e413ee0b48d39ccdab29228ae80 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/sparc/update/7.1/zq1/joe-2.8-290.src.rpm f29199161ffd38f3f26c82b5d21ba89b SuSE-7.0 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/sparc/update/7.0/ap1/joe-2.8-292.sparc.rpm d1d70f58df37de53f05734d90be596fa source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/sparc/update/7.0/zq1/joe-2.8-292.src.rpm 45091ece9cb66e4f093d07b0386fd2b9 AXP Alpha Platform: SuSE-7.0 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/update/7.0/ap1/joe-2.8-296.alpha.rpm 85e609519bbfbbc0be5aec7b8de2dffc source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/update/7.0/zq1/joe-2.8-296.src.rpm ce623f8a73b1f6395eb9498324cc1e21 SuSE-6.4 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/update/6.4/ap1/joe-2.8-293.alpha.rpm d930c6a2f0757f51f04409946f6152f8 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/update/6.4/zq1/joe-2.8-293.src.rpm 0b20e5bd36f0feeaf78cb4815566e982 SuSE-6.3 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/update/6.3/ap1/joe-2.8-293.alpha.rpm 6278e4dd4a42d4e091d1a08e3f617fa2 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/update/6.3/zq1/joe-2.8-293.src.rpm 88f428cc9c916b9159dfb54144c7802e SuSE-6.1 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/update/6.1/ap1/joe-2.8-295.alpha.rpm 3e531066b0495be2261f02ef2d4583f0 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/update/6.1/zq1/joe-2.8-295.src.rpm 1d7796f1fad01365e40a944f0db84470 PPC PowerPC Platform: SuSE-7.1 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/update/7.1/ap1/joe-2.8-272.ppc.rpm f11094b9f1afeb04786030e3a140ed03 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/update/7.1/zq1/joe-2.8-272.src.rpm 4058ea46c9d75976a24a6ac419fc19d5 SuSE-7.0 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/update/7.0/ap1/joe-2.8-274.ppc.rpm c385a2ca601cf9b01ad2d39433d6a872 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/update/7.0/zq1/joe-2.8-274.src.rpm b667ea68d356a9582d3696ad68869c69 SuSE-6.4 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/update/6.4/ap1/joe-2.8-273.ppc.rpm 4f6c2c20e961aea4987381d12692af6c source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/update/6.4/zq1/joe-2.8-273.src.rpm 8c3ebda871c54afc11a24d80d207c34e ______________________________________________________________________________ 2) Pending vulnerabilities in SuSE Distributions and Workarounds: - We are in the process of preparing update packages for the man package which has been found vulnerable to a commandline format string bug.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- ______________________________________________________________________________ SuSE Security Announcement Package: eperl Announcement-ID: SuSE-SA:2001:08 Date: Tuesday, March 27th, 2001 16.00 MEST Affected SuSE versions: 6.3, 6.4, 7.0, 7.1 Vulnerability Type: local and remote compromise Severity (1-10): 6 SuSE default package: no Other affected systems: all system using eperl package Content of this advisory: 1) security vulnerability resolved: eperl 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 ePerl program is a interpreter for the Embedded Perl 5 Language. It's main purpose is to serve as Webserver scripting language for dynamic HTML page programming. Besides this it could also serve as a standalone Unix filter. Fumitoshi Ukai and Denis Barbier have found several potential buffer overflows, which could lead to local privilege escalation if installed setuid (note: it's not installed setuid per default) or to remote compromise. There is currently no efficient measure against the security problems in the eperl perl interpreter other than not using or updating it. SuSE provides update packages for the defective software. SuSE Linux version before 6.3 don't include the eperl package. Download the update package from locations described below and install the package with the command `rpm -Uhv file.rpm'. The md5sum for each file is in the line below. You can verify the integrity of the rpm files using the command `rpm --checksig --nogpg file.rpm', independently from the md5 signatures below. i386 Intel Platform: SuSE-7.1 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.1/d2/eperl-2.2.14-206.i386.rpm e613b06d47dcfb7bbcea8c3d0c0e678b source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.1/zq1/eperl-2.2.14-206.src.rpm c58a95f3b8ae757ea4d72f3157e2ea62 SuSE-7.0 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.0/d1/eperl-2.2.14-203.i386.rpm e66520cc0062e25495941542dd5b1f82 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.0/zq1/eperl-2.2.14-203.src.rpm 34d6682524154c9fb7b5fbec4f4ea82e SuSE-6.4 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.4/d1/eperl-2.2.14-203.i386.rpm 4b6a5a89899320a8eeb35c149ae111f5 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.4/zq1/eperl-2.2.14-203.src.rpm 062b14716e52f2649f4380a6a6e4e7f9 SuSE-6.3 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.3/d1/eperl-2.2.14-202.i386.rpm ba75d7f4a64329a3b5c324b3f0742575 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.3/zq1/eperl-2.2.14-202.src.rpm c7ae001d4668ba3a0524f94429b1e4e6 Sparc Platform: SuSE-7.1 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/sparc/update/7.1/d2/eperl-2.2.14-193.sparc.rpm 9752f8b9df6ac1ffdc68cb4b552d6491 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/sparc/update/7.1/zq1/eperl-2.2.14-193.src.rpm f09a1ce9288c201ae63e193914fc84ce SuSE-7.0 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/sparc/update/7.0/d1/eperl-2.2.14-191.sparc.rpm 900eddc134215569fc88d11ce14c11f3 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/sparc/update/7.0/zq1/eperl-2.2.14-191.src.rpm 76aaa0efa8ae1c84b80201f73462fc26 AXP Alpha Platform: SuSE-7.0 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/update/7.0/d1/eperl-2.2.14-195.alpha.rpm d7b4be8d988f8cd501a33f9d2fb12a07 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/update/7.0/zq1/eperl-2.2.14-195.src.rpm b0379287f9078fcd244cc720fad92c4d SuSE-6.4 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/update/6.4/d1/eperl-2.2.14-195.alpha.rpm 78241206bc1b3927effdb5b1aa4d0ed5 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/update/6.4/zq1/eperl-2.2.14-195.src.rpm 325a04ec8c5c3da6b9c2fdf4e2c6c901 SuSE-6.3 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/update/6.3/d1/eperl-2.2.14-194.alpha.rpm 88a09004e5c0c2e6174785207e111318 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/update/6.3/zq1/eperl-2.2.14-194.src.rpm a04cfa3e64aac49f6c148992e9a50189 PPC Power PC Platform: SuSE-7.1 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/update/7.1/d2/eperl-2.2.14-178.ppc.rpm 3e05c702aca97db476155054d113ff95 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/update/7.1/zq1/eperl-2.2.14-178.src.rpm 67849b0c1c053eca482508fe2eac3042 SuSE-7.0 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/update/7.0/d1/eperl-2.2.14-177.ppc.rpm 35584e2f1bcebced98fad2ae241824da source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/update/7.0/zq1/eperl-2.2.14-177.src.rpm 98046dce35c4adfba57cc54c018376d7 SuSE-6.4 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/update/6.4/d1/eperl-2.2.14-176.ppc.rpm 9c36bad7ec2e8f6c31307729c7d21bc8 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/update/6.4/zq1/eperl-2.2.14-176.src.rpm eeaf1144dd659fe13b6a943bf40bf65b S/390 Platform: SuSE-7.0 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/s390/update/7.0/d1/eperl-2.2.14-182.s390.rpm 416974a30c9c9e435e028f2807e15a51 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/s390/update/7.0/zq1/eperl-2.2.14-182.src.rpm b14c7d9cbb969cda54b0d9f599f1b5cc ______________________________________________________________________________ 2) Pending vulnerabilities in SuSE Distributions and Workarounds: - We are in the process of preparing update packages for the man package which has been found vulnerable to a commandline format string bug.

However, we prefer to provide a fixed update package to make sure that the daemon is on the safe side. in.ftpd(8) will be invoked by inetd(8) and is activated by default. timed(8): The time server daemon timed(8), which is started at boot time, tries to synchronize the local host time with the time of other machines on the local area network. A bug in timed(8) was reported by the FreeBSD Security Officer, that could be triggered remotely to crash the time server daemon. For SuSE 6.1-6.4 in.ftpd and timed were part of nkitb. Users of SuSE 7.0 need to download the nkitserv package for both in.ftpd and timed. The bug in in.ftpd is fixed in SuSE 7.1, so nkitserv for SuSE 7.1 just includes a new version of timed(8). Download the update package from locations desribed below and install the package with the command `rpm -Uhv file.rpm'. The md5sum for each file is in the line below. You can verify the integrity of the rpm files using the command `rpm --checksig --nogpg file.rpm', independently from the md5 signatures below. i386 Intel Platform: SuSE-7.1 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.1/n1/nkitserv-2001.3.16-0.i386.rpm c4313f92a36916f0eba0b8837c9c0c81 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.1/zq1/nkitb-2001.3.16-1.src.rpm ec452523fa25c8aed962fbd3349d1f3d SuSE-7.0 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.0/n1/nkitserv-2001.3.16-0.i386.rpm 02772824805c6c4293bd1750d7bda6d3 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.0/zq1/nkitb-2001.3.16-1.src.rpm 5d301edc1b1ec9111572815aace33984 SuSE-6.4 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.4/a1/nkitb-2001.3.16-1.i386.rpm 842dea179cc449c4af25accf0c3f38ec source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.4/zq1/nkitb-2001.3.16-1.src.rpm c099e7c1194b7706100453a89433b59c SuSE-6.3 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.3/a1/nkitb-2001.3.16-0.i386.rpm 768a636df4731cd8efd181aa2eaf2e60 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.3/zq1/nkitb-2001.3.16-0.src.rpm b705425c4c3cb70ebf9cd1345c92104a SuSE-6.2 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.2/a1/nkitb-2001.3.16-0.i386.rpm cbae31148c79c91a1443f79ee1ba34d3 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.2/zq1/nkitb-2001.3.16-0.src.rpm d287c01d35d00756ecbf8da04556037c SuSE-6.1 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.1/a1/nkitb-2001.3.16-0.i386.rpm 5f45ade69a9e8c2756e671c4a6e3522a source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.1/zq1/nkitb-2001.3.16-0.src.rpm 62b969c4e666f3ea71b6ce6b31762718 Sparc Platform: SuSE-7.1 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/sparc/update/7.1/n1/nkitserv-2001.3.16-0.sparc.… 142329dcae76a1603c0d84836192e357 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/sparc/update/7.1/zq1/nkitb-2001.3.16-0.src.rpm 5bd9123cecba6ddd42cc965c599f383e SuSE-7.0 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/sparc/update/7.0/n1/nkitserv-2001.3.16-0.sparc.… 07ed33c76c7ae2df5b877003b254944d source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/sparc/update/7.0/zq1/nkitb-2001.3.16-0.src.rpm 66ba7b71624f636e24e2d628c8f06e81 AXP Alpha Platform: SuSE-7.0 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/update/7.0/n1/nkitserv-2001.3.16-0.alpha.rpm 5fcf177588788eb069bdb69332046d23 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/update/7.0/zq1/nkitb-2001.3.16-0.src.rpm c27ed3bf0c293eaa77fe5a8fa960e95d SuSE-6.4 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/update/6.4/a1/nkitb-2001.3.16-0.alpha.rpm 385fa60c0c216f1d9e61afd52d37df93 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/update/6.4/zq1/nkitb-2001.3.16-0.src.rpm 5ba60084740c9be9f89a729e2d21a77c SuSE-6.3 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/update/6.3/a1/nkitb-2001.3.16-0.alpha.rpm 8a9e207a77e3c7f954e8faa91954f7aa source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/update/6.3/zq1/nkitb-2001.3.16-0.src.rpm 53f8a03feacc7fb81b92a726c8e81d21 SuSE-6.1 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/update/6.1/a1/nkitb-2001.3.16-0.alpha.rpm 359a3432f73220cecd42ba0b365d5e06 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/update/6.1/zq1/nkitb-2001.3.16-0.src.rpm e0ccf6395312f9c33518f5f083c9d51f PPC PowerPC Platform: SuSE-7.1 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/update/7.1/n1/nkitserv-2001.3.16-0.ppc.rpm 37bf5a963bc93215084b5634e864479c source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/update/7.1/zq1/nkitb-2001.3.16-0.src.rpm c31af637f58d9b43db542657b02bc772 SuSE-7.0 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/update/7.0/n1/nkitserv-2001.3.16-1.ppc.rpm ddc1dcfb94ba90f3cbdf395f89dd3b84 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/update/7.0/zq1/nkitb-2001.3.16-1.src.rpm 2fa9c58b871248172285a64107e3be7c SuSE-6.4 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/update/6.4/a1/nkitb-2001.3.16-0.ppc.rpm 1dc4c831b5f6bd344ab8f511497b3fa5 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/update/6.4/zq1/nkitb-2001.3.16-0.src.rpm 5529e5f63e2391ab1669efa0a8c33b57 ______________________________________________________________________________ 2) Pending vulnerabilities in SuSE Distributions and Workarounds: - joe (configuration file vulnerability): The problem has been reported on multiple security-related mailing lists.

As a reaction to these bugs, the spaceboom game has been dropped from the distribution. We recommend to deinstall the game from our 6.x and 7.x distribution by using the command `rpm -e spaceŽ, or to remove the suid bit from the file /usr/games/SpaceBoom/SpaceBoom using the command `chmod -s /usr/games/SpaceBoom/SpaceBoomŽ. (Note: removing the suid bit prevents the game from being used by non-root users and from being reinstalled after removal.) - We are in the process of preparing update packages for the man package which has been found vulnerable to a commandline format string bug. The man command is installed suid man on SuSE systems. When exploited, the bug can be used to install a different man binary to introduce a trojan into the system. As an interim workaround, we recommend to `chmod -s /usr/bin/manŽ and ignore the warnings and errors when viewing manpages. - The file browser MidnightCommander (mc) is vulnerable to unwanted program execution. Updates are currently being built. - New RPMs, that fix' a vulnerbility in the eperl package for SuSE 6.1-7.1 are currently being built. ______________________________________________________________________________ 3) standard appendix: 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: cups

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- ______________________________________________________________________________ SuSE Security Announcement Package: cups Announcement-ID: SuSE-SA:2001:05 Date: Monday, March 5th, 2001 13:10:13 MET Affected SuSE versions: 7.1 Vulnerability Type: local/remote root compromise Severity (1-10): 5 SuSE default package: no Other affected systems: All UN*X-systems using cups < 1.1.6. Content of this advisory: 1) security vulnerability resolved: cups 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 CUPS is an implementation of the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and is used as an alternative to the lpr and LPRng packages. The CUPS package aims to be a comprehensive printing solution for UN*X-systems. In SuSE-7.1 distribution, the cups package is not used by any configuration utilities unless the admin has decided to configure the package manually. The cups package has been introduced in the SuSE-7.1 distribution; enhanced support for future releases of the SuSE Linux distribution is planned. A SuSE-internal security audit conducted by Sebastian Krahmer and Thomas Biege revealed several overflows as well as insecure file handling. These bugs have been fixed by adding length-checks and securing the file-access. For a temporary workaround, remove the suid-bit from the 'lppasswd' program. Make sure nobody from outside your network can access the CUPS-server running on port 631. Allowing access to this port from outside is a bad idea regardless whether or not the used version is vulnerable. No remote-exploits are known yet. Download the update package from locations desribed below and install the package with the command `rpm -Uhv file.rpm'. The md5sum for each file is in the line below. You can verify the integrity of the rpm files using the command `rpm --checksig --nogpg file.rpm', independently from the md5 signatures below. i386 Intel Platform: SuSE-7.1 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.1/d3/cups-devel-1.1.6-13.i386.rpm 23c6484952ab0c1de81e2db38bcd3afc SuSE-7.1 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.1/n2/cups-1.1.6-13.i386.rpm 812e0c47dcfe508eb9e8ccb38165b6d7 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.1/zq1/cups-1.1.6-13.src.rpm 204cea2ad6a61293c191e70a2cacdc82 ______________________________________________________________________________ 2) Pending vulnerabilities in SuSE Distributions and Workarounds: Effective Monday, March 19 2001, five weeks after the release of the new SuSE-7.1 distribution, SuSE will discontinue support for the SuSE-linux distributions SuSE-6.0 SuSE-6.1 and SuSE-6.2. SuSE puts much effort into adding security improvements (patches) to the software instead of publishing a new version; the same program with a fix for a specific problem promises to work just as reliable as the original version from the distribution, whereas new versions introduce new functionality which changes the behaviour. In some cases however, especially if the security leak is based on problematic design decisions or when the fix(es) are fairly large, the only reasonable fix for a security problem is to update to a newer version of the software. These newer versions tend to become incompatible with our older distribution releases because of missing features in the operating system environment. This forces us to focus on the distributions of a newer release date. The remaining distributions SuSE-6.3, SuSE-6.4, SuSE-7.0 and SuSE-7.1 for the Intel i386, AXP Alpha, SPARC as well as PPC Power PC platforms will continue to be supported for a two-year period after the release of the respective distribution. ______________________________________________________________________________ 3) standard appendix: 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: ssh (SuSE-SA:2001:04)
by draht＠suse.de 16 Feb '01

16 Feb '01

The announcement is being resent because of a small error in the "Affected SuSE versions" section: SuSE-7.1 is vulnerable, too. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- ______________________________________________________________________________ SuSE Security Announcement Package: ssh Announcement-ID: SuSE-SA:2001:04 Date: Friday, February 16th, 2000 18:00 MET Affected SuSE versions: 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 7.0, 7.1 Vulnerability Type: possible remote root compromise Severity (1-10): 9 SuSE default package: yes, no (openssh is default after SuSE-6.3) Other affected systems: Unix systems with sshd running Content of this advisory: 1) security vulnerability resolved: ssh 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 SuSE distributions contain the ssh package in the version 1.2.27. No later version is provided because of licensing issues. SuSE maintains the 1.2.27 version in a patched package. Three new patches have been added that workaround three independent security problems in the ssh package: a) SSHD-1 Logging Vulnerability (discovered and published by Jose Nazario, Crimelabs). Attackers can remotely brute-force passwords without getting noticed or logged. In the ssh package from the SuSE distribution, root login is allowed, as well as password authentication. Even though brute-forcing a password may take an enormous amount of time and resources, the issue is to be taken seriously. b) SSH1 session key recovery vulnerability (by (Ariel Waissbein, Agustin Azubel) - CORE SDI, Argentina, and David Bleichenbacher). Captured encrypted ssh traffic can be decrypted with some effort by obtaining the session key for the ssh session. The added patch in our package causes the ssh daemon to generate a new server key pair upon failure of an RSA operation (please note that the patch supplied with Iván Arce on bugtraq on Wed, 7 Feb 2001 has been corrected later on!). c) In 1998, the ssh-1 protocol was found to be vulnerable to an attack where arbitrary sequences could be inserted into the ssh-1 protocol layer. The attack was called "crc32 compensation attack", and a fix was introduced (crc compensation attack detector in the ssh -v output) into the later versions of ssh. Michal Zalewski discovered that the fix in its most widely used implementation is defective. An integer overflow allows an attacker to overwrite arbitrary memory in the sshd process' address space, which potentionally results in a remote root compromise. There are easy resorts that can be offered: a) switch to openssh (please use the openssh packages on ftp.suse.com from the same update directories as the ssh package update URLs below indicate). openssh is a different implementation of the ssh protocol that is compatible to the protocol versions 1 and 2. Openssh Version 2.3.0 does not suffer from the problems listed above. Versions before 2.3.0 are vulnerable to other problems, so please use the updates from the update directory on the ftp.suse.de ftp server. See section 2) of this announcement for the md5sums of the packages. b) upgrade your ssh package from the locations described below. Download the update package from locations desribed below and install the package with the command `rpm -Uhv file.rpm'. The md5sum for each file is in the line below. You can verify the integrity of the rpm files using the command `rpm --checksig --nogpg file.rpm', independently from the md5 signatures below. SPECIAL INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS: ============================== If you run a sshd (secure shell daemon) server on your system, then the daemon process must be restarted for the update package to become active after installation of the update rpm. You can do this easily with the command (ran as root): kill -15 `cat /var/run/sshd.pid` After this, you can start the daemon using the command rcsshd start It should be possible now to log on again to your server as usual. Please consult the syslogs in /var/log if this is not the case. Warning: killing all instances of sshd on a system might render the system inaccessible from remote, especially if secure shell is your only method to access the system. Be careful to not lock yourself out. Note: The packages on our German ftp server have been built again to correct one of the patches. The package for the 6.1-i386 distribution has finished building a few minutes ago and uses the same name as the build from Wednesday. Use the --force commandline option for the rpm command if you have used the package that was published before the release date of this announcement. i386 Intel Platform: SuSE-7.1 ftp://ftp.suse.de/pub/suse/i386/update/7.1/sec2/ssh-1.2.27-226.i386.rpm ae68bf3ac28b5e81f9c5f2a1d1d8980e source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.de/pub/suse/i386/update/7.1/zq1/ssh-1.2.27-226.src.rpm d332e662daff71ff7d10cf4d962b6933 SuSE-7.0 ftp://ftp.suse.de/pub/suse/i386/update/7.0/sec1/ssh-1.2.27-220.i386.rpm f88b339dea96ef186e70872ce9444c24 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.de/pub/suse/i386/update/7.0/zq1/ssh-1.2.27-220.src.rpm 93ca5fc96c103a5f9adee16cb319195c SuSE-6.4 ftp://ftp.suse.de/pub/suse/i386/update/6.4/sec1/ssh-1.2.27-86.i386.rpm 3f1b41116b7c7d63c791de4fdca9d1ee source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.de/pub/suse/i386/update/6.4/zq1/ssh-1.2.27-86.src.rpm 3a8d859f2ae9751852339c642b07b4cf SuSE-6.3 ftp://ftp.suse.de/pub/suse/i386/update/6.3/sec1/ssh-1.2.27-86.i386.rpm 3f1b41116b7c7d63c791de4fdca9d1ee source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.de/pub/suse/i386/update/6.3/zq1/ssh-1.2.27-86.src.rpm 3a8d859f2ae9751852339c642b07b4cf SuSE-6.2 ftp://ftp.suse.de/pub/suse/i386/update/6.2/sec1/ssh-1.2.27-210.i386.rpm b29822198dc6430167465706965e3499 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.de/pub/suse/i386/update/6.2/zq1/ssh-1.2.27-210.src.rpm 4a2130635f702bb266748b9e4838877a SuSE-6.1 ftp://ftp.suse.de/pub/suse/i386/update/6.1/sec1/ssh-1.2.27-210.i386.rpm 17f281262edd689d9861c099489cbcc6 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.de/pub/suse/i386/update/6.1/zq1/ssh-1.2.27-210.src.rpm 5e12e0086f61bba2f37c4ccbc4282a92 Sparc Platform: SuSE-7.0 ftp://ftp.suse.de/pub/suse/sparc/update/7.0/sec1/ssh-1.2.27-221.sparc.rpm e1545287f954d089707c55a66598c318 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.de/pub/suse/sparc/update/7.0/zq1/ssh-1.2.27-221.src.rpm f37a8b3addaf70711d91f6a3f788a8b3 AXP Alpha Platform: SuSE-7.0 ftp://ftp.suse.de/pub/suse/axp/update/7.0/sec1/ssh-1.2.27-221.alpha.rpm 77bd0dcda5df929fba07d56de2bf3399 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.de/pub/suse/axp/update/7.0/zq1/ssh-1.2.27-221.src.rpm 77305ae844c9b68e8af559ccf81417e8 SuSE-6.4 ftp://ftp.suse.de/pub/suse/axp/update/6.4/sec1/ssh-1.2.27-86.alpha.rpm 7a8d7086c8b99822b020f3c9d0e4764e source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.de/pub/suse/axp/update/6.4/zq1/ssh-1.2.27-86.src.rpm e75660e54edc2cf38086b4de3da91881 SuSE-6.3 ftp://ftp.suse.de/pub/suse/axp/update/6.3/sec1/ssh-1.2.27-212.alpha.rpm 671761326c11c9eac50c3d992b550bdf source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.de/pub/suse/axp/update/6.3/zq1/ssh-1.2.27-212.src.rpm 5472b658aac01bea8667769a04e0e92d PPC Power PC Platform: SuSE-7.0 ftp://ftp.suse.de/pub/suse/ppc/update/7.0/sec1/ssh-1.2.27-220.ppc.rpm ec7274c8a88b6ce5420c91da0622f94c source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.de/pub/suse/ppc/update/7.0/zq1/ssh-1.2.27-220.src.rpm 1ae9f7cf4c7099f5cad8cb0ccc8f3e5d SuSE-6.4 ftp://ftp.suse.de/pub/suse/ppc/update/6.4/sec1/ssh-1.2.27-86.ppc.rpm fc3cb2e3b927c7ffc5e8374e183f860e source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.de/pub/suse/ppc/update/6.4/zq1/ssh-1.2.27-86.src.rpm 439abdfb6f56e2c0d3880cddd103935f ______________________________________________________________________________ 2) Pending vulnerabilities in SuSE Distributions and Workarounds: -

Linux kernel upgrade. Several security flaws have been found in the linux-2.2.x kernel versions. The only suitable workaround is to upgrade to a newer kernel version. SuSE provides kernels that have been expanded with several dozen device drivers that are not included in the standard main stream kernel. While working on the kernel update packages for our distributions, more security problems were discovered. Currently, several persons audit code in the kernel, so that more problems are expected to be discovered in the very near future. Since kernel updates are very time-consuming on behalf of the system administrator, we decided to not publish a new kernel package each week. Instead, the new kernel packages with all known security bugs fixed will be published by the midth/end of next week. In the meanwhile, administrators who require immediate updates, please go to ftp.kernel.org (or one of its mirrors, respectively) and get Alan Cox' prepatches for the 2.2.19 version of the Linux kernel. The directory usually is /pub/linux/kernel/people/alan/2.2.19pre, his latest patch is pre-patch-2.2.19-13.gz. This patch fixes all currently publically known security problems in the Linux v2.2 kernel. For those who are not experienced in patching and installing kernels, we recommend to wait for the release of the SuSE Linux kernel update packages. - From SuSE-SA:2001:03 (bind8): The sparc update packages were pending because of build bottlenecks.
