Secure updating/installing of packages
by neodaxus＠gmx.net 21 Jul '04

21 Jul '04

Hello, theoretically it is possible that modified packages for Linux distributions are made available in order to create backdoors (e.g. through a hacked server or mirror, wrong IP routing / DNS resolving, or simply someone making available manipulated packages at a site under his control). I wonder how SuSE and other distros protect themselves against this threat. A MD5 only offers protection if before updating/installation it is checked against a list of packages and MD5's. However, when updating this list, it has to be made sure that the update comes from a trusted source and that it has not been tampered with. I have been told that for some Debian packages there is not even a MD5. At Gentoo I'm unsure if the list update is secure. Who knows about SuSE (YOU + Yast)? Thanks, Christian

Thankyou Mehmet four your reply. Can you be more specific please. i.e. 1: what did they actually try to do 2: code is 200 - they may have got something 3: 5480 bytes returned - what were they? 4: or is this another 'bug' - false info message?

Daily Cron Similar to FreeBSD Periodic Daily
by Eric Kahklen 20 Jul '04

20 Jul '04

Does SuSE have anything similar to the FreeBSD's periodic daily cron job that does systems checks such as some basic security that is mailed to the root alias? I just attended a training on FreeBSD and wondered if this was something SuSE is doing as well. Thanks, Eric -- ______________________________________________________________________

I like to trust the SuSE people that they know their business, and do some audits. but knowing about the details how they ensure integrity of upstream package sources would be nice anyways ... lge

SUSE Security Announcement: php4 (SUSE-SA:2004:021)
by krahmer＠suse.de 19 Jul '04

19 Jul '04

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- ______________________________________________________________________________ SUSE Security Announcement Package: php4/mod_php4 Announcement-ID: SUSE-SA:2004:021 Date: Friday, Jul 16th 2004 13:00:00 MEST Affected products: 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, 9.0, 9.1, SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8, SuSE Linux Office Server, UnitedLinux 1.0 Vulnerability Type: remote code execution Severity (1-10): 7 SUSE default package: No. Cross References: CAN-2004-0594 CAN-2004-0595 http://security.e-matters.de/advisories/112004.html Content of this advisory: 1) security vulnerability resolved: memory_limit problem, strip_tags() bypassing problem problem description, discussion, solution and upgrade information 2) pending vulnerabilities, solutions, workarounds: - sitecopy - cadaver - freeswan - ipsec-tools - apache2 - dhcp/dhcp-server 3) standard appendix (further information) ______________________________________________________________________________ 1) problem description, brief discussion, solution, upgrade information PHP is a well known, widely-used scripting language often used within web server setups. Stefan Esser found a problem with the "memory_limit" handling of PHP which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code as the user running the PHP interpreter. This problem has been fixed. Additionally a problem within the "strip_tags" function has been found and fixed which allowed remote attackers to inject arbitrary tags into certain web browsers, issuing XSS related attacks. Since there is no easy workaround except disabling PHP, we recommend an update for users running the PHP interpreter within the apache web server. To be sure the update takes effect you have to restart the apache process by executing the following command as root: /usr/sbin/rcapache restart or if you use the apache2 package /usr/sbin/rcapache2 restart 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. x86 Platform: SUSE Linux 9.1: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.1/rpm/i586/php4-4.3.4-43.11.i586.…

New packages will soon be available on our ftp servers. - freeswan A bug in the certificate chain authentication code could allow an attacker to authenticate any host against a FreeS/WAN server by presenting specially crafted certificates wrapped in a PKCS#7 file. New packages are available on our ftp servers. - ipsec-tools The racoon daemon which is responsible for handling IKE messages fails to reject invalid or self-signed X.509 certificates which allows for man-in-the-middle attacks on IPsec tunnels established via racoon. New packages are available on our ftp servers. - apache2 A remote Denial of Service condition (CAN-2004-0493) has been fixed in Apache2. New packages are available on our ftp servers. - dhcp/dhcp-server A remotely exploitable buffer overflow has been fixed in the dhcp and dhcp-server packages. CERT has assigned VU#654390 to this issue. New packages are available on our ftp servers. ______________________________________________________________________________ 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 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(a)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(a)suse.com - general/linux/SUSE security discussion.

There were lots of bug fixes in 4.3.5, particularly relating to multibyte handling, and it looks as if 4.3.8 will be the final and most stable release of 4.x It would hve been nice to have had an update to 4.3.5 if not 4.3.8

Tenshi, other console log monitors and mice
by MB 18 Jul '04

18 Jul '04

Hi list, I've been looking into console based log monitors. I've used xlogmaster among others and they work really well, however, I would prefer a text based monitor that looks into multiple log files (eg messages/snort/http etc) and displays either the entire results or color coded like the shell does for file types of a particular string in the log that you specify. I played around with tenshi, which is written more for gentoo and solaris. Its nice, and has the ability to email you the results. While I could use that, I'd prefer on screen in the console to email because email isn't as secure as we'd like to believe. So what I'm asking is suggestions for these types of monitors. If some of you use tenshi on the SuSE platform, it'd be nice if you posted your init script as only gentoo and solaris ones come with the program. Secondly, not to do with security but annoying much the same, I have a microsoft explorer mouse hooked up to a 4 port belkin KVM. Every time i switch out of the suse box and back the mouse goes berserk. On 9.0 you could just logout, and log back in and its fixed, however, on 9.1 you have to completely reboot in order to fix the problem. In the log file it reports all day that: kernel: psmouse.c: Explorer Mouse at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost synchronization, throwing 2 bytes away. This logs when xdm isn't even started. I figured it was the KVM/cables but why does it work perfectly on reboot, but when virtual connection is severed does it puke? Matt --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?

RE: [suse-security] Update BIND9 with new clients
by Ness, Todd 16 Jul '04

Move your dhcp to your Linux machine, and hand out IP by mac address. Turn off dhcp on the Linksys. The DHCP how to and sample conf file get you 90% of the way there. -----Original Message----- From: Philip B Cook [mailto:philipbcook@ntlworld.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 06, 2004 12:27 AM To: suse-security(a)suse.com Subject: [suse-security] Update BIND9 with new clients How do I configure BIND9 to update its zone files based upon new clients assigned an IP address by my Linksys Router. My router has IP 192.168.1.1 My LINUX machine (fileserver & proxy) is runniing BIND9 is on a fixed address 192.168.0.101 I want BIND9 to act as caching DNS for internet addresses (already done) AND to provide local (ie 192.168.0.xxx) DNS lookup for my machines. The LINUX machine also runs SQUID and SAMBA to provide services to the rest of my Windows network of machines. Many thanks in advance. Philip
