SSH Authentication
by Joao Reis 18 Nov '02

18 Nov '02

Hi! I implemented a ssh conection from the outside to my intranet. This ssh requires a username and a password. In terms of security what is more secure: require authentication (username and password) or having the public key of each user that connects to our intranet in the authorized public key lists (in this case there is no need for username and password)? In the second case there is no need of authentication and only the users wich have the public keys in the list are allowed to enter in my intranet. This second solution is a good solution or that brings other security problems ? Thanks. -- Farewell. "Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer." "Do or do not.

RE: [suse-security] Strange apache log entry

Ok, Microsoft Frontpages has several security flaws, but that does not automatically mean that every request for _vti_<whatever> is done by a hacker or a script-kiddy. Have a look at the browser the client is using, if it's "MSFrontPage/X.Y" then please don't worry. But do worry if it's the only request for a link containing _vti* or if there is only one client (if it's not a proxy) requesting this url. Watch your system, but don't worry to much. regards, Stefan Peer -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Soeren Todt [mailto:sworn@gmx.net] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 31.

SuSEfirewall doesn't close some ports
by Vadim Kouzmine 01 Jun '01

01 Jun '01

SuSEfirewall 4.3-3 on SuSE 7.1 Zebra 0.91a opens ports for virtual terminals. `netstat -anp` show these ports as (is it IPv6 notation?): ---------- tcp 0 0 :::2604 :::* LISTEN 23643/ospfd tcp 0 0 :::2601 :::* LISTEN 23640/zebra ---------- I guess SuSEfirewall doesn't discover these ports as listening and doesn't close it, although FW_AUTOPROTECT_GLOBAL_SERVICES="yes". Also `SuSEfirewall -check` doesn't show these ports as unprotected. Thank you, Vadim

forcing use of proxy
by stephane parenton 01 Jun '01

01 Jun '01

Hi, We're using squid 2.2.stable5 as proxy on a SuSE 7.0 box and i would like ALL users to go through the proxy... I know we have some users that play with internet and disable their proxy parameters.... how can I ban "direct internet access" so only proxy connections pass through (whatever is configure on users win stations) ? Regards Stephane

Problems with kernel modules from cipe
by Guido Tschakert 31 May '01

31 May '01

Hi list, while trying to use cipe with 7.1 I run in the following troubles: The kernel module in the rpm of cipe is build for kernel version 2.4.0 but the 2.4-kernel on the distro is 2.4.0-4GB, so the module cannot be loaded. Next I tried to build cipe from the corresponding spm and hoped the module would be build for 2.4.0-4GB but it was copied to 2.4.0/misc and insmod/modprobe still says: You are using kernel 2.4.0-4GB, this module is for kernel 2.4.0, which is completely different :-( Is it possible just to rename the kernel (and if yes, how to do this exactly) or am I missing something while building cipe from th sources. (I used the command rpm -bi cipe.spec) Trying to use freeS/WAN I run in similar problems (module is for 2.2.18, I used kernel-udpdate 2.2.19). Mostly I want to use cipe with Kernel 2.2.19. BTW. In the last week I posted 2 or 3 other questions about VPN but didn't get much answers. Are my questions too trivial or doesn't nobody on this list uses vpns with linux? Hoping for some hints Guido --- ----------------- Guido Tschakert SRC GmbH, SysAd -----------------

Re: [suse-security] iptables simple script, but...

There is a file /etc/rc.d/skeleton which can be used as a template for your firewall script. You can copy it to /etc/rc.d/firewall and edit it to let it call your actual firewall script. In the easiest form you just need the "start" command to work to start your firewall when the system goes up and then leave it on forever. Then you can put "SXXfirewall" symlinks into the various runlevels (depends on your SuSE Version, normally 2 + 3 or 3 + 5) which point to your file. I would suggest to place several links, depending on your firewall script: The first one before the network goes up to have protection from the start. (This will eventually produce errors if you refer to certain interfaces in your script but it will set the policies at least) The last call to your firewall script should be made when all interfaces are up. If you have some interfaces that come up later (ppp,ippp) or if some ip-adresses change later (dynamic address while dialing in) you have to call your firewall script again. (e.g. from within /etc/ppp/ip-up). But that depends on your actual script, if it deals with that interfaces at all.

The first error is a format string bug in the error handling routine of the man command that can allow a local attacker to gain the privileges of the user "man" on SuSE Linux systems (the man command in /usr/bin is installed setuid man). After getting write access to the /usr/bin/man binary, an attacker can place a cuckook's egg into the executable, waiting for root to view manpages. The second problem is a segmentation fault that can be caused by the options "-S ::: foo" to the man command. On other Linux distributions, this problem has been found exploitable. On SuSE and Debian systems, the code responsible for the bug is different from the one found in other distributions and is not exploitable. We consider the existence of this bug a beauty flaw that will be fixed in future releases of the SuSE Linux distribution, but the fix was not included in the man packages that can be found on our ftp server. Since the error() format string bug was discovered earlier than we announced that the SuSE Linux distributions 6.0, 6.1 and 6.2 will be discontinued, we also provide fixed packages for the said distributions for the i386 Intel architecture. We strongly encourage our usership to upgrade their systems to a newer distribution. Both bugs are fixed in the upcoming release of SuSE Linux 7.2. A temporary workaround (as discussed in earlier SuSE security announcements) is to remove the setuid-bit of the /usr/bin/man file. This will cause errors to be printed when viewing a manpage, because the formatted manpages can't be saved to the /var/cache/man directories any longer. The sideeffects of this workaround are of mostly cosmetical nature on fast hardware. If you changed the file modes of the man command binary using the command chmod 755 /usr/bin/man , then please also change the occurrences of the same path in the files /etc/permissions*, provided you have set the variable CHECK_PERMISSIONS to "set" in /etc/rc.config. Download the update package from locations described below and check the authenticity of the rpm package file using a method as described in section 3) of this security announcement. Use the command `rpm -Uhv file.rpm' to apply the update. In some rare cases, the older man package contains files that conflict with the new version. This should not be considered a problem in this particular case of the man packge; use the options "--nodeps --force" to override. i386 Intel Platform: SuSE-7.1 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.1/a1/man-2.3.10d69s-190.i386.rpm bc914ab44fcdeb2fa809176d2b807bea source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.1/zq1/man-2.3.10d69s-190.src.rpm 96dfa2df00ae4a1045c6d038bd02290b SuSE-7.0 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.0/a1/man-2.3.10d69s-194.i386.rpm 533fa405f82ef5bbcfb4b4a6c188d0da source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.0/zq1/man-2.3.10d69s-194.src.rpm b935e02d444a613beccec50db65c1cf7 SuSE-6.4 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.4/a1/man-2.3.10d69s-191.i386.rpm a7cd2aa52a72f739d7c0cac5073f546b source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.4/zq1/man-2.3.10d69s-191.src.rpm e9fd012fbea95c2787de0ee0612da8ce SuSE-6.3 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.3/a1/man-2.3.10d69s-191.i386.rpm 807b23473f0813c9c6385d08cc55b698 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.3/zq1/man-2.3.10d69s-191.src.rpm 0ff51500ef8914870cb1785ae3b999b6 SuSE-6.2 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.2/a1/man-2.3.10d69i-19.i386.rpm edbbe4c94b18802dc23a823d55d59761 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.2/zq1/man-2.3.10d69i-19.src.rpm eeeed80772476bb306d256e48ad99f95 SuSE-6.1 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.1/a1/man-2.3.10-85.i386.rpm 775db984e6129f10ede2b091bf725f0d source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.1/zq1/man-2.3.10-85.src.rpm 5c4b93a1cf941adeb853bff9263ca3a5 Sparc Platform: SuSE-7.1 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/sparc/update/7.1/a1/man-2.3.10d69s-182.sparc.rpm 39e097e929dbf4ca7626d5c7dcaf4980 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/sparc/update/7.1/zq1/man-2.3.10d69s-182.src.rpm df6900385722e5a7ddae18338eb0ef4c SuSE-7.0 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/sparc/update/7.0/a1/man-2.3.10d69s-182.sparc.rpm 6c3bda62c576bd92ff7b741a3124e64e source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/sparc/update/7.0/zq1/man-2.3.10d69s-182.src.rpm c42b095b229f6b4c45bf7814ae0e1498 AXP Alpha Platform: SuSE-7.0 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/update/7.0/a1/man-2.3.10d69s-194.alpha.rpm 3d83a75ff11426bc56fd9663bccee9be source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/update/7.0/zq1/man-2.3.10d69s-194.src.rpm 2033a16bc31ec5d81136eabf2508fd6d SuSE-6.4 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/update/6.4/a1/man-2.3.10d69s-191.alpha.rpm f1ee85f46386298748bdb3d76d69e9f2 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/update/6.4/zq1/man-2.3.10d69s-191.src.rpm 82792838d464a1fbb14b2c5d79f4d064 SuSE-6.3 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/update/6.3/a1/man-2.3.10d69s-190.alpha.rpm 5334e0f9efe1de48d7905166ced83c1b source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/update/6.3/zq1/man-2.3.10d69s-190.src.rpm 43992649e6ab51000bed5ac4e2f8fcae PPC Power PC Platform: SuSE-7.1 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/update/7.1/a1/man-2.3.10d69s-162.ppc.rpm 5bff5425484c5076023235b3779f22c6 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/update/7.1/zq1/man-2.3.10d69s-162.src.rpm 5caba422258827b139e21f6dab7f9b39 SuSE-7.0 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/update/7.0/a1/man-2.3.10d69s-162.ppc.rpm 832b8078f1c6b2d8d6edae98d26c3d44 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/update/7.0/zq1/man-2.3.10d69s-162.src.rpm 4d5647b6276fb6d641410e7eddc106f9 SuSE-6.4 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/update/6.4/a1/man-2.3.10d69s-163.ppc.rpm 13afa53aacaa939fd1b9dd509d995c2d source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/update/6.4/zq1/man-2.3.10d69s-163.src.rpm 2ffd94df5356669d89c1490a326c205d ____________________________________________________________________________ __ 2) Pending vulnerabilities in SuSE Distributions and Workarounds: - netscape Netscape before Version 4.77 contains a bug that allows a remote attacker to store JavaScript code in the comment filed of GIF files that are contained in a viewed page. This code can be executed. Update packages for the SuSE Linux distributions 6.3, 6.4, 7.0 and 7.1 can be found on our ftp server at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.1/xap1/netscape-4.77-21.i386.rpm 1e2de825b3386d80a3731760b9e7f323 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.0/xap1/netscape-4.77-21.i386.rpm ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.4/xap1/netscape-4.77-21.i386.rpm ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.3/xap1/netscape-4.77-21.i386.rpm 13f303944c9ac0863591b03c4eb75501 The packages are gpg-signed. See the section above about downloading and verifying rpm packages. The complexity of the netscape browser suggests by nature that more security related problems will be found, we will not issue a dedicated security announcement for the netscape package any more. Security- inclined users may please see the future security announcements in section 2) for information about security related problems with the netscape package. - gpg/gnupg The gpg update package that can be found on our ftp server upgrade your installation of gpg to the version 1.0.5. We have experienced stability problems when the turkish locale was used. We recommened our users to wait for the official SuSE Security Announcement about gpg/gnupg before performing the upgrade since we expect more changes to the package. - pine Most of the supported distributions have pine update packages in the update area of the ftp server that update the pine package to version 4.33. Many vulnerabilities have been found in versions before 4.33, and it is recommended to perform the upgrade. Please note that not all packages have been built yet. See the update directory for your distribution (like i386/update/7.0/n1) for pine-4.33 packages. - dqs dex(a)raza-mexicana.org has found an exploitable buffer overflow bug in the dsh program from the dqs package on SuSE Linux distributions. To workaround the problem, do "chmod -s /usr/bin/dsh" and change the files /etc/permissions* to reflect the change. If you do not need the dqs package, then deinstall it (rpm -e dqs). We are working on update packages that fix the problem. - samba Insecure temporary file handling is the cause for a new samba version 2.0.9 that can be found as rpm packages in the n1/ directory of your distribution. It is recommended to install the update package if your users have local shell access to your samba server (this bug is not remotely exploitable). We are currently investigating some oddity in the behaviour of the samba package and will send a security announcement as soon as we have clarified the problems. The problems were present in earlier releases/versions of the samba package as well. By consequence, the installation of the update package is of low risk for the functionality of your system. ____________________________________________________________________________ __ 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 --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 uninstalled 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 toplevel 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.

I'd disable port 80 at the box and on client side you have to insert the port of squid (normally 3128).

nice ssh-problem...
by Daniel Quappe 31 May '01

31 May '01

hi list, today i've got a problem while testing a system for rsyncing two systems via ssh. the external ssh-server normally wants to get request with a privileged port (eg. 1023). but i want to connect via my internal server which is masq. by my gateway/firewall. after this masq. the privileged request transforms into an un- privileged one...;-( are there any ideas somewhere out there...;-)?? many thanks in advance, bye daniel -- Machen Sie Ihr Hobby zu Geld bei unserem Partner 1&1! http://profiseller.de/info/index.php3?ac=OM.PS.PS003K00596T0409a -- GMX - Die Kommunikationsplattform im Internet. http://www.gmx.net

Probably off-topic, but I need to rant anyways: I do not see where nor any How-To on the procedure for installing my own self-signed certificate. I even did a new tarball d/l from OpenSSL's site itself: OpenSSL 0.9.6a 5 Apr 2001 built on: Mon May 28 00:19:23 EDT 2001 platform: linux-sparcv9 options: bn(64,32) md2(int) rc4(ptr,char) des(idx,cisc,16,long) idea(int) blowfish(ptr) compiler: gcc -DTHREADS -D_REENTRANT -mcpu=ultrasparc -DB_ENDIAN -DTERMIO -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -Wall -Wa,-Av8plus -DULTRASPARC -DBN_DIV2W -DMD5_ASM It was successful, as was: /usr/ssl/misc/CA.pl -newca /usr/ssl/misc/CA.pl -newreq /usr/ssl/misc/CA.pl -signreq /usr/ssl/misc/CA.pl -pkcs12 "InSecurity.Org" I suppose my real issue is I wish I knew what I was doing more than just the 'trial and error' development approach...

SuSE Security Announcement: man (SuSE-SA:2001:019)
by Roman Drahtmueller 30 May '01

30 May '01

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- ______________________________________________________________________________ SuSE Security Announcement Package: man Announcement-ID: SuSE-SA:2001:019 Date: Tuesday, May 29th 2001 20:30 MEST Affected SuSE versions: 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 7.0, 7.1 Vulnerability Type: local privilege escalation Severity (1-10): 4 SuSE default package: yes Other affected systems: most linux systems shipping the mandb package Content of this advisory: 1) security vulnerability resolved: man 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 Two vulnerabilities have been found in the man package that is installed by default in all SuSE Linux distributions. The first error is a format string bug in the error handling routine of the man command that can allow a local attacker to gain the privileges of the user "man" on SuSE Linux systems (the man command in /usr/bin is installed setuid man). After getting write access to the /usr/bin/man binary, an attacker can place a cuckook's egg into the executable, waiting for root to view manpages. The second problem is a segmentation fault that can be caused by the options "-S ::: foo" to the man command. On other Linux distributions, this problem has been found exploitable. On SuSE and Debian systems, the code responsible for the bug is different from the one found in other distributions and is not exploitable. We consider the existence of this bug a beauty flaw that will be fixed in future releases of the SuSE Linux distribution, but the fix was not included in the man packages that can be found on our ftp server. Since the error() format string bug was discovered earlier than we announced that the SuSE Linux distributions 6.0, 6.1 and 6.2 will be discontinued, we also provide fixed packages for the said distributions for the i386 Intel architecture. We strongly encourage our usership to upgrade their systems to a newer distribution. Both bugs are fixed in the upcoming release of SuSE Linux 7.2. A temporary workaround (as discussed in earlier SuSE security announcements) is to remove the setuid-bit of the /usr/bin/man file. This will cause errors to be printed when viewing a manpage, because the formatted manpages can't be saved to the /var/cache/man directories any longer. The sideeffects of this workaround are of mostly cosmetical nature on fast hardware. If you changed the file modes of the man command binary using the command chmod 755 /usr/bin/man , then please also change the occurrences of the same path in the files /etc/permissions*, provided you have set the variable CHECK_PERMISSIONS to "set" in /etc/rc.config. Download the update package from locations described below and check the authenticity of the rpm package file using a method as described in section 3) of this security announcement. Use the command `rpm -Uhv file.rpm' to apply the update. In some rare cases, the older man package contains files that conflict with the new version. This should not be considered a problem in this particular case of the man packge; use the options "--nodeps --force" to override. i386 Intel Platform: SuSE-7.1 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.1/a1/man-2.3.10d69s-190.i386.rpm bc914ab44fcdeb2fa809176d2b807bea source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.1/zq1/man-2.3.10d69s-190.src.rpm 96dfa2df00ae4a1045c6d038bd02290b SuSE-7.0 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.0/a1/man-2.3.10d69s-194.i386.rpm 533fa405f82ef5bbcfb4b4a6c188d0da source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.0/zq1/man-2.3.10d69s-194.src.rpm b935e02d444a613beccec50db65c1cf7 SuSE-6.4 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.4/a1/man-2.3.10d69s-191.i386.rpm a7cd2aa52a72f739d7c0cac5073f546b source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.4/zq1/man-2.3.10d69s-191.src.rpm e9fd012fbea95c2787de0ee0612da8ce SuSE-6.3 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.3/a1/man-2.3.10d69s-191.i386.rpm 807b23473f0813c9c6385d08cc55b698 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.3/zq1/man-2.3.10d69s-191.src.rpm 0ff51500ef8914870cb1785ae3b999b6 SuSE-6.2 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.2/a1/man-2.3.10d69i-19.i386.rpm edbbe4c94b18802dc23a823d55d59761 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.2/zq1/man-2.3.10d69i-19.src.rpm eeeed80772476bb306d256e48ad99f95 SuSE-6.1 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.1/a1/man-2.3.10-85.i386.rpm 775db984e6129f10ede2b091bf725f0d source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.1/zq1/man-2.3.10-85.src.rpm 5c4b93a1cf941adeb853bff9263ca3a5 Sparc Platform: SuSE-7.1 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/sparc/update/7.1/a1/man-2.3.10d69s-182.sparc.rpm 39e097e929dbf4ca7626d5c7dcaf4980 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/sparc/update/7.1/zq1/man-2.3.10d69s-182.src.rpm df6900385722e5a7ddae18338eb0ef4c SuSE-7.0 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/sparc/update/7.0/a1/man-2.3.10d69s-182.sparc.rpm 6c3bda62c576bd92ff7b741a3124e64e source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/sparc/update/7.0/zq1/man-2.3.10d69s-182.src.rpm c42b095b229f6b4c45bf7814ae0e1498 AXP Alpha Platform: SuSE-7.0 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/update/7.0/a1/man-2.3.10d69s-194.alpha.rpm 3d83a75ff11426bc56fd9663bccee9be source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/update/7.0/zq1/man-2.3.10d69s-194.src.rpm 2033a16bc31ec5d81136eabf2508fd6d SuSE-6.4 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/update/6.4/a1/man-2.3.10d69s-191.alpha.rpm f1ee85f46386298748bdb3d76d69e9f2 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/update/6.4/zq1/man-2.3.10d69s-191.src.rpm 82792838d464a1fbb14b2c5d79f4d064 SuSE-6.3 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/update/6.3/a1/man-2.3.10d69s-190.alpha.rpm 5334e0f9efe1de48d7905166ced83c1b source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/axp/update/6.3/zq1/man-2.3.10d69s-190.src.rpm 43992649e6ab51000bed5ac4e2f8fcae PPC Power PC Platform: SuSE-7.1 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/update/7.1/a1/man-2.3.10d69s-162.ppc.rpm 5bff5425484c5076023235b3779f22c6 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/update/7.1/zq1/man-2.3.10d69s-162.src.rpm 5caba422258827b139e21f6dab7f9b39 SuSE-7.0 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/update/7.0/a1/man-2.3.10d69s-162.ppc.rpm 832b8078f1c6b2d8d6edae98d26c3d44 source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/update/7.0/zq1/man-2.3.10d69s-162.src.rpm 4d5647b6276fb6d641410e7eddc106f9 SuSE-6.4 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/update/6.4/a1/man-2.3.10d69s-163.ppc.rpm 13afa53aacaa939fd1b9dd509d995c2d source rpm: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ppc/update/6.4/zq1/man-2.3.10d69s-163.src.rpm 2ffd94df5356669d89c1490a326c205d ______________________________________________________________________________ 2) Pending vulnerabilities in SuSE Distributions and Workarounds: - netscape Netscape before Version 4.77 contains a bug that allows a remote attacker to store JavaScript code in the comment filed of GIF files that are contained in a viewed page.

See the section above about downloading and verifying rpm packages. The complexity of the netscape browser suggests by nature that more security related problems will be found, we will not issue a dedicated security announcement for the netscape package any more. Security- inclined users may please see the future security announcements in section 2) for information about security related problems with the netscape package. - gpg/gnupg The gpg update package that can be found on our ftp server upgrade your installation of gpg to the version 1.0.5. We have experienced stability problems when the turkish locale was used. We recommened our users to wait for the official SuSE Security Announcement about gpg/gnupg before performing the upgrade since we expect more changes to the package. - pine Most of the supported distributions have pine update packages in the update area of the ftp server that update the pine package to version 4.33. Many vulnerabilities have been found in versions before 4.33, and it is recommended to perform the upgrade. Please note that not all packages have been built yet. See the update directory for your distribution (like i386/update/7.0/n1) for pine-4.33 packages. - dqs dex(a)raza-mexicana.org has found an exploitable buffer overflow bug in the dsh program from the dqs package on SuSE Linux distributions. To workaround the problem, do "chmod -s /usr/bin/dsh" and change the files /etc/permissions* to reflect the change. If you do not need the dqs package, then deinstall it (rpm -e dqs). We are working on update packages that fix the problem. - samba Insecure temporary file handling is the cause for a new samba version 2.0.9 that can be found as rpm packages in the n1/ directory of your distribution. It is recommended to install the update package if your users have local shell access to your samba server (this bug is not remotely exploitable). We are currently investigating some oddity in the behaviour of the samba package and will send a security announcement as soon as we have clarified the problems. The problems were present in earlier releases/versions of the samba package as well. By consequence, the installation of the update package is of low risk for the functionality of your system. ______________________________________________________________________________ 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 --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 uninstalled 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 toplevel 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.

freeSwan with kernel 2.2.19
by Guido Tschakert 30 May '01

30 May '01

Hello list, I want to use FreeS/WAN 1.8 with SuSE7.1. The problem is, that I have updated the Kernel to 2.2.19 and the IPSEC-Module is compiled for Kernel 2.2.18.(insmod does not load the module). Is there an easy solution to use this module with the 2.2.19-Kernel or do I have to compile this module. (And how can I do it in a simple way without compiling all modules or the whole FreeS/WAN-packet) TIA Guido I -- ----------------- Guido Tschakert SRC GmbH, SysAd -----------------

(offtopic) "Should-be Dead" shell sessions still alive
by RoMaN SoFt / LLFB!! 30 May '01

Sorry for writing to this ml, but I didn't want to subscribe the other Suse ml only for asking this Q. In my SuSE 6.4 boxes when a shell session is broken (the user doesn't issue the normal "logout" command but disconnect telnet/ssh, for example) the bash login process keeps alive forever. I think this doesn't happen on 7.0-*. Do I have to update some package or change any configuration line at /etc/*?

Problems compiling freeswan 1.4

Audun-Fosselie Hansen/NOSAT/NERA 2001-05-29 14:09 To: suse-security(a)suse.com cc: Subject: Problems compiling freeswan 1.4 I know version 1.4 is old, but it is for testing and not for use in the real world. I have installed the freeswan source file from Suse 7.0 and are running rpm -bc SPECS/freeswan.specs. The compiling ends with the following messages: + test -e /usr/src/linux/.config + grep CONFIG_IPSEC /usr/src/linux/.config CONFIG_IPSEC=m + yes '' + make -C /usr/src/linux oldconfig make: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.16' make: *** No rule to make target `oldconfig'. Stop. make: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.16' Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.96871 (%prep) Anyone who can tell me what to do?? I am not too experienced in this kind of problems.

problems with my mylex card
by Magus Ba'al 30 May '01

30 May '01

I'm running into a problem with my Mylex 1100 scsi raid controller. I have SuSE 7.0 Pro installed. The problem I ran into earlier today was an error running modprobe. It would spit back an error: modprobe DAC960 modprobe: line 5: Invalid dependency /* For struct iovec */ This happened for all modules during boot, which was a giant pain to manually load the driver using insmod, then restart some services. I found a workaround: insmod DAC960 Using /lib/modules/2.2.16/block/DAC960.o But I couldn't use the mylex card, all other cards seemed to work just fine. The mylex card worked fine until I rebooted. I fixed this problem by upgrading to the 2.2.19 kernel, with all the updates needed to upgrade the kernel (libc, libd, nssv1, shlibs) and now I don't have any problems running modprobe. What I'm running into now is I can't get the system to mount the arrays. modprobe DAC960 mount /dev/rd/c0d0p1 /blah mount: /dev/rd/c0d0p1 is not a valid block device lsmod Module Size Used by DAC960 58372 0 (unused) nfsd 182888 4 (autoclean) autofs 9644 2 (autoclean) eepro100 17432 1 (autoclean) memstat 1540 0 (unused) serial 42804 0 (autoclean) aic7xxx 105024 0 (unused) I've already rebooted, cold boot, even reseated the card for giggles. The card's bios info shows during boot, so the card didn't just magically die at the same time (I hope...). The only thing I can think of is I do have a problematic drive (being replaced soon) that will sometimes not respond. But it shouldn't take down the entire card (i think...). Other than that, nothing has been changed on the box. Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions, pointers, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Pupeno, since SuSE7.1 the directory structure is nearly the same like RH or Mandrake. You can add the file to /etc/rc.d/ and link it to the different runlevels (if you want to start it as deamon). On the other hand you can put it to /root and run it as root wheneveryou want. for disabling any rules flushing the rules and set them to ACCEPT. MfG.
