Hi, I try to use my Linux Box as a pptp server. On connection start I get: Mar 14 20:54:58 mail pptpd[11630]: CTRL: Client aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd control connection started Mar 14 20:54:58 mail pptpd[11630]: CTRL: Starting call (launching pppd, opening GRE) Mar 14 20:54:58 mail pptpd[11630]: CTRL: Error with select(), quitting Mar 14 20:54:58 mail pptpd[11630]: CTRL: Client aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd control connection finished Mar 14 20:54:59 mail modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-108 Mar 14 20:54:59 mail pppd[11631]: pppd 2.4.0 started by root, uid 0 Mar 14 20:54:59 mail pppd[11631]: Failed to open /dev/pts/2: No such file or directory Mar 14 20:54:59 mail pppd[11631]: Exit.

Ftp & more problems
by Grupo Dignitas 15 Mar '02

15 Mar '02

Friends: The days 5 and 7 of this month, I sent them two mail requesting suggestions about problems that I had (I have) using ftp. Up to now nobody has answered me except for Marc Heuse in private mail. I appeal you since the answer of Marc again (to change the kernel, use at the moment the 2.4.4) he has still left me more doubts. It should have a 'pacific solution' for this problem, that is to say that doesn't commit the costs and working hours of the company. I trust them in that alone precise an orientation, for where to begin to solve the problem, I don't specify magic solutions, these don't exist. The scenario is this: a server Linux with one ADSL 128/256 kb lines in a router Cisco 777, in eth0 it is the net of the company with 45 users using Internet and electronic mail; in eth1 the router mentioned up. The server has the SuSEfirewall2-2.1 and SuSE 7.2, allowing the members of the net to consent to the mentioned services. The company has hired a server ftp (ftp.thecompany.com.ar) with the phone company of our area (Telecom). In the area of systems, two people specify to make ftp to that server and to send for the same way information to the branches that are in other towns; the software that they use in you scheme them client it is the Windows Commander and CuteFTPpro. Now then, either that they use the passive or active mode to make ftp, the server Linux freezes, totally frozen; and it is necessary to restart the server. It doesn't always happen, and it is not known which are the conditions of the server in the moment of the freezing. I cannot have solved the problem for 2 months, I have proven almost everything, from different configurations of the SuSEfirewall2-2.1 until the update of the iptables (1.2.1 at 1.2.2), but anything works. In the inetd.conf has active the Proftpd, although I am not very sure that it is relevant. Now, from D.O.S. in a machine client I use ftp and works well, very well; and Linux doesn't freeze. During the hours of more work, that is to say, all the clients using Internet and mail, it is when more 'hang'; up to four times during the morning. But in the afternoon it diminishes a lot the frequency of the freezing, until any 'hang' in hours of the night. But or less this is what happens, I wait to have explained the problem well. Some help or orientation?. Thanks folks (folks, no list) Ernesto

SuSE Security Announcement: packages containing libz/zlib (SuSE-SA:2002:011) (tandem-announcement, second part)
by Roman Drahtmueller 14 Mar '02

14 Mar '02

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- ______________________________________________________________________________ SuSE Security Announcement Package: packages containing libz/zlib Announcement-ID: SuSE-SA:2002:011 Date: Monday, Mar 11th 2002 20:50 MET Affected SuSE versions: 6.4, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 SuSE Linux Database Server SuSE eMail Server III SuSE Firewall SuSE Linux Connectivity Server SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 7 Vulnerability Type: possible remote command execution Severity (1-10): 8 SuSE default package: yes Other affected systems: systems with these packages compiled with default compile time options Content of this advisory: 1) security vulnerability resolved: packages containing libz/zlib 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 This is the second announcement in the tandem-announcement about libz/zlib. SuSE Security Announcement SuSE-SA:2002:010 (libz/zlib) has been released prior to this announcement (SuSE-SA:2002:011). Please see SuSE-SA:2002:010 for details on the libz weakness. The two announcements SuSE-SA:2002:010 and SuSE-SA:2002:011 are being published in quick succession. The packages affected by the double-free() libz bug can be devided into two categories: 1) packages that link dynamically against the system-provided compression library. These packages get fixed automatically with the update of the libz package as described in SuSE-SA:2002:010. Please note that the processes will continue to use the old version of the libz.so shared library if the have not been restarted after the libz package upgrade. 2) packages that contain the compression library in their own source distribution. These packages need an individual bugfix. We have prepared update packages for this software that can be downloaded from the locations as shown below. The following is a list of the packages in category 2): gpg rsync cvs rrdtool freeamp netscape vnc kernel In detail: gpg: gpg brings its own libz/zlib source. The fixed update packages are available on the ftp server. The packages for SuSE Linux 6.4 and 7.0 are located on ftp.suse.de, all other packages can be found on ftp.suse.com. The package for SuSE Linux 7.3, Intel i386 platform, is currently building and will be available shortly. rsync: The rsync package brings its own libz/zlib source. In addition to the libz/zlib fixes, the rsync package has a number of other security related problems fixed: The rsync daemon now properly initializes group memberships when it changes to another userID. The last security fix in the rsync packages has been corrected to improve the reliability of the program. The fixed update packages are available on the ftp server. cvs: The cvs package brings its own libz/zlib source. In addition to the libz/zlib fixes, the cvs packages in SuSE Linux 6.4 and 7.0 contain a fix for a buffer overflow that may be remotely exploitable. Versions of the cvs packages later than 7.0 do not contain this flaw. rrdtool: SuSE Linux 7.2 and newer contain the package rrdtool. It brings its own source of the libz/zlib compression library. Fixed packages are available for download on the ftp server. freeamp: The freeamp package brings its own libz/zlib source. Fixed packages for SuSE Linux 7.1 and 7.0 are available for download. The update packages for the newer distributions will follow soon without any further announcement. netscape: New netscape binary packages are expected from netscape.com soon. Due to the closed source nature of the software, we depend on netscape to fix the package. vnc: The vnc package brings its own libz/zlib source. We will provide fixed packages for our supported products shortly. The availiability of these packages will be announced in section 2) of the next SuSE Security Announcement. kernel: The kernel of Linux systems is affected by the libz/zlib double- free() problem as well. The routines from the compression library are being used by functions that uncompress filesystems loaded into ramdisks and other non-security-critical occasions. However, the kernel uses the compression library in the ppp layer as well as in the freeswan IPSec kernel module. We are currently in the process of preparing update packages that fix numerous other problems (some of them security related) in both the 2.2 and the 2.4 series kernel. The availiability of these kernel RPM packages will be announced in a seperate SuSE Security Announcement soon. Note: The openssh package contains binaries that are linked dynamically against libz.so. The ssh package, however, links statically against its own version of the compression library. This version of libz/zlib is not vulnerable to the double-free() problem. 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. i386 Intel Platform: SuSE-7.3 The gpg packages are currently building and will be available on the ftp server shortly.

for the newer products will be available shortly. The gpg package for the Intel i386 platform, distribution SuSE Linux 7.3, will be available shortly. Update packages for the packages vnc, netscape and the kernel will follow later this week. Please carefully read the section 2) in the upcoming SuSE Security Announcements. ______________________________________________________________________________ 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 -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 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.

Ken, All I can tell you is I AM running PHP 4.06. I use things such as phpMyAdmin so I KNOW it is working. Check your MIME.types................ P.S. I also am not new to SuSE or linux in general....... Ken Schneider wrote: >I have been using SuSE since 6.4 so I am not new to this great distro.

If you are saying that PHP does not work on a SuSE 7.3 box, you are wrong. I have one running right now, I used the PHP that comes with the install disks (4.06) and I have no problems.

mySQLl on Apache web server
by Robert Greenwell 14 Mar '02

14 Mar '02

Hi all, I have an apache web server running on SuSE 7.3 with PHP4. I would like to install mySQL on it now. I used Marc Heuse document on Securing a Web Server which I found very helpful, but he did not mention much about the database stuff. What security risks am I allowing by putting mySQL on this Web Server? What extra steps will I need to take? Is there a document somewhere that outlines the steps to securing mySQL on SuSE? Thanks, Robert

Using OpenSSH's sftp without giving normal shell access.
by Michael Zimmermann 14 Mar '02

14 Mar '02

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear collegues, we recently had the discussion in this list, how to let users use sftp but deny them shell access on the box. The commercial SSH version from ssh.com does this with a special dummy shell, but from OpenSSH's distribution such a dummy shell is missing. Well that's actually a very simple little thing, but some of you might not have the time or eagerness go into programming, hence I am enclosing our version of that beast.
