-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- <p> UPDATE INFORMATION The original announcement pointed to update rpms which were old and did *NOT* fix the vulnerabilities. We apologize for this mistake. ______________________________________________________________________________ SuSE Security Announcement Package: aaabase < 2000.5.2 Date: Tue May 2 21:56:21 CEST 2000 Affected SuSE versions: all Vulnerability Type: remove any local file(s) executing attacker supplied commands as non-root SuSE default package: yes Other affected systems: unknown ______________________________________________________________________________ A security hole was discovered in the package mentioned above. Please update as soon as possible or disable the service if you are using this software on your SuSE Linux installation(s). Other Linux distributions or operating systems might be affected as well, please contact your vendor for information about this issue. Please note that we provide this information on an "as-is" basis only. There is no warranty whatsoever and no liability for any direct, indirect or incidental damage arising from this information or the installation of the update package. _____________________________________________________________________________ 1. Problem Description aaa_base is the basic package which comes with any SuSE Linux installation. Two vulnerabilities have been found: 1) The cron job /etc/cron.daily/aaa_base does a daily checking of files in /tmp and /var/tmp, where old files will be deleted if configured to do so. Please note this this feature is NOT activated by default 2) Some system accounts have their homedirectories set to /tmp by default. These are the users games, firewall, wwwrun and nobody on a SuSE 6.4. 2. Impact 1) If the /tmp cleanup is activated, any file or directory can be deleted by any local user 2) If an attacker creates dot files in /tmp (e.g. bash profiles), these might be executed if someone uses e.g. "su - nobody" to switch to the nobody user. This can lead to a compromise of that userid. This vulnerability is present in several other unix systems as well - please check all! 3. Solution 1) Update the package from our FTP server. 2) The root user will receive a email with the accounts listed which have a homedirectory in /tmp. You have to fix this by hand, because some installations might break if they rely on information saved in the (unsafe) /tmp homedirectory. The email will give more information what to do. ______________________________________________________________________________ Please verify these md5 checksums of the updates before installing: (for SuSE 6.0 please use the 6.1 update rpm) a8204a4929c139e895f3357021647daa ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/update/6.1/a1/aaa_base-2000.5.2-0.alpha.rpm 5dee42bd0f531922d0b17d859f3d0d0d ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/update/6.3/a1/aaa_base-2000.5.2-0.alpha.rpm da8c74f80983beecf23baa62eea45142 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.1/a1/aaa_base-2000.5.2-0.i386.rpm 9618ec3ae63f4d80527a8e3b5f610fc1 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.2/a1/aaa_base-2000.5.2-0.i386.rpm db53e002b6be652b31262bf89be0c31a ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.4/a1/aaa_base-2000.5.2-0.i386.rpm 488eda289876ba3c14dbffb881dc8726 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/update/6.3/a1/aaa_base-2000.5.2-0.ppc.rpm ______________________________________________________________________________ You can find updates on our ftp-Server: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update for Intel processors ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/update for Alpha processors or try the following web pages for a list of mirrors: http://www.suse.de/ftp.html http://www.suse.com/ftp_new.html Our webpage for patches: http://www.suse.de/patches/index.html Our webpage for security announcements: http://www.suse.de/security If you want to report vulnerabilities, please contact security(a)suse.de ______________________________________________________________________________ SuSE has got two free security mailing list services to which any interested party may subscribe: use-security(a)suse.com - moderated and for general/linux/SuSE security discussions.

Linux kernel masquerading vulnerability
by marc＠suse.de 29 Apr '00

29 Apr '00

Hi, everyone who does masquerading with a linux kernel: please note that all kernels are known to have the following vulnerability: The ftp and udp masquerading modules can be used by an attacker in some circumstances to access internal machines. <p>These bugs will hopefully be fixed by the linux kernel team in version 2.2.15 We will provide a kernel update once the new kernel version is available. Yours, SuSE Security Team -- Marc Heuse, SuSE GmbH, Schanzaeckerstr. 10, 90443 Nuernberg E@mail: marc(a)suse.de Function: Security Support & Auditing "lynx -source http://www.suse.de/~marc/marc.pgp | pgp -fka" Key fingerprint = B5 07 B6 4E 9C EF 27 EE 16 D9 70 D4 87 B5 63 6C

Re: XFree86 xkbmap parameter buffer overflow
by marc＠suse.de 23 Apr '00

23 Apr '00

Hi, > XFree86 versions 3.3.5 and 3.3.6 have been found to contain a buffer > overflow in the xkbmap command-line switch. An attacker can execute > arbitrary code as root, since XFree86 runs either with setuid permissions, > or via a wrapper that is setuid. please note SuSE Linux is not exploitable. The Xwrapper which comes with SuSE 6.4 is suid but checks the arguments and prevents this attack. The X Servers are not suid. Therefore: no problem. BUT if you have installed XFree86 4.0 (SuSE 6.4 installs 3.3.6) you are vulnerable. Check it out by executing the following command: "rpm -q xf86" Greets, Marc -- Marc Heuse, SuSE GmbH, Schanzaeckerstr. 10, 90443 Nuernberg E@mail: marc(a)suse.de Function: Security Support & Auditing "lynx -source http://www.suse.de/~marc/marc.pgp | pgp -fka" Key fingerprint = B5 07 B6 4E 9C EF 27 EE 16 D9 70 D4 87 B5 63 6C

Please note that a local root vulnerability has been found in the imwheel package, however: SuSE Linux is not affected We dont ship the vulnerable suidperl script. >Fromthe /usr/doc/packages/imwheel/README.SuSE file: For security reasons suid root installation as mentioned in the README file is disabled in the distribution.

Other Linux distributions or operating systems might be affected as well, please contact your vendor for information about this issue. Please note that we provide this information on an "as-is" basis only. There is no warranty whatsoever and no liability for any direct, indirect or incidental damage arising from this information or the installation of the update package. _____________________________________________________________________________ 1. Problem Description gpm is a cut and paste utility and mouse server for virtual consoles. The gpm-root command, which is part of the gpm package, allows local users to define menus and commands to be executed on mouse events. When a command is executed via gpm, the group id 0 priviliged is not dropped. 2. Impact Local users may gain access to group id 0 and hence may modify files owned and writable by the gid 0. 3.
