-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- ______________________________________________________________________________ SUSE Security Announcement Package: xpdf, gpdf, kdegraphics3-pdf, pdftohtml, cups Announcement-ID: SUSE-SA:2004:039 Date: Tuesday, Oct 26th 2004 10:30 MEST Affected products: 8.1, 8.2, 9.0, 9.1, 9.2 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8, 9 SUSE Linux Desktop 1.0 Vulnerability Type: remote system compromise Severity (1-10): 5 SUSE default package: yes Cross References: CAN-2004-0888 CAN-2004-0889 Content of this advisory: 1) security vulnerability resolved: - integer overflows - arithmetic errors problem description 2) solution/workaround 3) special instructions and notes 4) package location and checksums 5) pending vulnerabilities, solutions, workarounds: - freeradius denial of service problems - mpg123 - squid 6) standard appendix (further information) ______________________________________________________________________________ 1) problem description, brief discussion Xpdf is a widely used fast PDF file viewer. Various other PDF viewer and PDF conversion tools use xpdf code to accomplish their tasks. Chris Evans found several integer overflows and arithmetic errors. Additionally Sebastian Krahmer from the SuSE Security-Team found similar bugs in xpdf 3. These bugs can be exploited by tricking an user to open a malformated PDF file. As a result the PDF viewer can be crashed or may be even code can be executed. 2) solution/workaround Due to the wide usage of xpdf-based code we do not recommend switching to another PDF viewer as a workaround. You have to install the updates. 3) special instructions and notes Please restart all running instances of xpdf, gpdf, kpdf, pdftohtml, cups after updating successfully. 4) package location and checksums Please download the update package for your distribution and verify its integrity by the methods listed in section 3) of this announcement. Then, install the package using the command "rpm -Fhv file.rpm" to apply the update. Our maintenance customers are being notified individually. The packages are being offered to install from the maintenance web. Cups packages and all 9.2 packages will be available later. x86 Platform: SUSE Linux 9.1: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.1/rpm/i586/pdftohtml-0.36-112.3.i586.rpm

dd9b695199beaea8122037705eb1a581 ______________________________________________________________________________ 5) pending vulnerabilities in SUSE Distributions and Workarounds: - freeradius Several bugs that can be abused to remotely crash freeradius have been discovered (CAN-2004-0938, CAN-2004-0960, CAN-2004-0961). New packages will be available soon. - mpg123 A buffer overflow in mpg123 has been discovered. New packages will be available soon. - squid A bug in the ASN.1 parser of the SNMP module has been fixed which would have allowed an attacker to crash squid (CAN-2004-0918). Updates will be available soon. ______________________________________________________________________________ 6) standard appendix: authenticity verification, additional information - Package authenticity verification: SUSE update packages are available on many mirror ftp servers all over the world. While this service is being considered valuable and important to the free and open source software community, many users wish to be sure about the origin of the package and its content before installing the package. There are two verification methods that can be used independently from each other to prove the authenticity of a downloaded file or rpm package: 1) md5sums as provided in the (cryptographically signed) announcement. 2) using the internal gpg signatures of the rpm package. 1) execute the command md5sum <name-of-the-file.rpm> after you downloaded the file from a SUSE ftp server or its mirrors. Then, compare the resulting md5sum with the one that is listed in the announcement. Since the announcement containing the checksums is cryptographically signed (usually using the key security@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@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@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@suse.com>. suse-security-announce@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@suse.com>. For general information or the frequently asked questions (faq) send mail to: <suse-security-info@suse.com> or <suse-security-faq@suse.com> respectively. ===================================================================== SUSE's security contact is <security@suse.com> or <security@suse.de>.
