-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- ______________________________________________________________________________ SUSE Security Announcement Package: kernel Announcement-ID: SUSE-SA:2005:003 Date: Friday, Jan 21st 2005 16:00 MET Affected products: 8.1, 8.2, 9.0, 9.1, 9.2 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8, 9 SUSE Linux Desktop 1.0 Novell Linux Desktop 9 Vulnerability Type: local privilege escalation Severity (1-10): 7 SUSE default package: yes Cross References: CAN-2004-1235 CAN-2005-0001 Content of this advisory: 1) security vulnerability resolved: - local privilege escalation - local denial of service attacks problem description 2) solution/workaround 3) special instructions and notes 4) package location and checksums 5) pending vulnerabilities, solutions, workarounds: - see summary report 6) standard appendix (further information) ______________________________________________________________________________ 1) problem description, brief discussion Several exploitable security problems were identified and fixed in the Linux kernel, the core of every SUSE Linux product. - Due to missing locking in the sys_uselib system call a local attacker can gain root access. This was found by Paul Starzetz and is tracked by the Mitre CVE ID CAN-2004-1235. - Paul Starzetz also found a race condition in SMP page table handling which could lead to a local attacker gaining root access on SMP machines. This is tracked by the Mitre CVE ID CAN-2005-0001. - A local denial of service was found in the auditing subsystem which have lead a local attacker crashing the machine. This was reported and fixed by Redhat. - The sendmsg / cmsg fix from the previous kernel update was faulty on 64bit systems with 32bit compatibility layer and could lead to 32bit applications not working correctly on those 64bit systems. - The smbfs security fixes from a before-previous kernel update were faulty for some file write cases. - A local denial of service with Direct I/O access to NFS file systems could lead a local attacker to crash a machine with NFS mounts. - grsecurity reported a signed integer problem in the SCSI ioctl handling which had a missing boundary check. Due to C language specifics, this evaluation was not correct and there actually is no problem in this code. The signed / unsigned mismatch was fixed nevertheless. - Several more small non security problems were fixed. NOTE: Two days ago we released the Service Pack 1 for the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9. This kernel update contains fixes for the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 GA version kernel line. A fix for the Service Pack 1 version line will be available shortly. 2) solution/workaround There is no workaround. Please install the provided update packages. 3) special instructions and notes SPECIAL INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS: ============================== The following paragraphs will guide you through the installation process in a step-by-step fashion. The character sequence "****" marks the beginning of a new paragraph. In some cases, the steps outlined in a particular paragraph may or may not be applicable to your situation. Therefore, please make sure to read through all of the steps below before attempting any of these procedures. All of the commands that need to be executed are required to be run as the superuser (root). Each step relies on the steps before it to complete successfully. **** Step 1: Determine the needed kernel type Please use the following command to find the kernel type that is installed on your system: rpm -qf /boot/vmlinuz Following are the possible kernel types (disregard the version and build number following the name separated by the "-" character) k_deflt # default kernel, good for most systems. k_i386 # kernel for older processors and chip sets k_athlon # kernel made specifically for AMD Athlon(tm) family processors k_psmp # kernel for Pentium-I dual processor systems k_smp # kernel for SMP systems (Pentium-II and above) k_smp4G # kernel for SMP systems which supports a maximum of 4G of RAM kernel-64k-pagesize kernel-bigsmp kernel-default kernel-smp **** Step 2: Download the package for your system Please download the kernel RPM package for your distribution with the name as indicated by Step 1. The list of all kernel rpm packages is appended below. Note: The kernel-source package does not contain a binary kernel in bootable form. Instead, it contains the sources that the binary kernel rpm packages are created from. It can be used by administrators who have decided to build their own kernel. Since the kernel-source.rpm is an installable (compiled) package that contains sources for the linux kernel, it is not the source RPM for the kernel RPM binary packages. The kernel RPM binary packages for the distributions can be found at the locations below ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/. 8.1/rpm/i586 8.2/rpm/i586 9.0/rpm/i586 9.1/rpm/i586 9.2/rpm/i586 After downloading the kernel RPM package for your system, you should verify the authenticity of the kernel rpm package using the methods as listed in section 3) of each SUSE Security Announcement. **** Step 3: Installing your kernel rpm package Install the rpm package that you have downloaded in Steps 3 or 4 with the command rpm -Uhv --nodeps --force <K_FILE.RPM> where <K_FILE.RPM> is the name of the rpm package that you downloaded. Warning: After performing this step, your system will likely not be able to boot if the following steps have not been fully followed. If you run SUSE LINUX 8.1 and haven't applied the kernel update (SUSE-SA:2003:034), AND you are using the freeswan package, you also need to update the freeswan rpm as a dependency as offered by YOU (YaST Online Update). The package can be downloaded from ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.1/rpm/i586/ **** Step 4: configuring and creating the initrd The initrd is a ramdisk that is loaded into the memory of your system together with the kernel boot image by the bootloader. The kernel uses the content of this ramdisk to execute commands that must be run before the kernel can mount its actual root filesystem. It is usually used to initialize SCSI drivers or NIC drivers for diskless operation. The variable INITRD_MODULES in /etc/sysconfig/kernel determines which kernel modules will be loaded in the initrd before the kernel has mounted its actual root filesystem. The variable should contain your SCSI adapter (if any) or filesystem driver modules. With the installation of the new kernel, the initrd has to be re-packed with the update kernel modules. Please run the command mk_initrd as root to create a new init ramdisk (initrd) for your system. On SuSE Linux 8.1 and later, this is done automatically when the RPM is installed. **** Step 5: bootloader If you run a SUSE LINUX 8.x, SLES8, or SUSE LINUX 9.x system, there are two options: Depending on your software configuration, you have either the lilo bootloader or the grub bootloader installed and initialized on your system. The grub bootloader does not require any further actions to be performed after the new kernel images have been moved in place by the rpm Update command. If you have a lilo bootloader installed and initialized, then the lilo program must be run as root. Use the command grep LOADER_TYPE /etc/sysconfig/bootloader to find out which boot loader is configured. If it is lilo, then you must run the lilo command as root. If grub is listed, then your system does not require any bootloader initialization. Warning: An improperly installed bootloader may render your system unbootable. **** Step 6: reboot If all of the steps above have been successfully completed on your system, then the new kernel including the kernel modules and the initrd should be ready to boot. The system needs to be rebooted for the changes to become active. Please make sure that all steps have completed, then reboot using the command shutdown -r now or init 6 Your system should now shut down and reboot with the new kernel. 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. x86 Platform: SUSE Linux 9.2: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.2/rpm/i586/kernel-source-2.6.8-24…

______________________________________________________________________________ 5) pending vulnerabilities in SUSE Distributions and Workarounds: Please refer to our SUSE Security Summary report. ______________________________________________________________________________ 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(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.

Pam issue, Winbind - sudo combination
by Ciro Iriarte 10 Feb '05

10 Feb '05

Well, i'll repost my question, because my first mail wasn't clear (i was in a hurry while writing it ). Have a Suse 9.2 Pro box authenticating against an NT Domain, i could join the domain, the users login, the homes get created automagically, all seems perfect, BUT, i'm having a little problem with sudo, any time an nt-domain-user runs it, sudo prompts for password (as it should), but it never accepts it!!. The original /etc/pam.d/sudo file looked like this: ------------------------------------------------------- #%PAM-1.0 auth required pam_unix2.so ------------------------------------------------------- Didn't find a Suse specific solution, tried a debian based one (the only one i've found), but it doesn't work, it looks like this: ------------------------------------------------------- #%PAM-1.0 auth sufficient pam_winbind.so auth required pam_unix2.so use_first_pass ------------------------------------------------------ Thanks in advanced.

Security patches for Suse's 2.6 kernel
by nordi 08 Feb '05

08 Feb '05

Hi list! I've ported the hardlink/symlink protection of the grsecurity patch to Suse's 2.6 kernels. My patch makes it considerable harder (and sometimes impossible) to exploit insecure handling of files in /tmp. Additionally it prevents some other annoying things that an attacker could do with hard/symlinks. The patch, more details and install instructions can be found on my website (http://private.addcom.de/nordi/) Feedback is welcome! The patch is very small and non-intrusive. The slightly changed handling of links should(!) not break existing software. At least I've been using this patch myself on a Suse 9.1 and a 9.2 machine for a couple of weeks now and haven't seen anything break that wasn't broken before ;) Regards nordi SHA1 checksums for the patches: Suse 9.2: d8138ce3da839aefa77a236ac0bd6436318ffc52 Suse 9.1: c7210821fa8c2ca87f2a4e2cb13646bdec36f72c

Help getting DMZ+reverse-proxy working
by Rainer Duffner 31 Jan '05

31 Jan '05

Hi, I have the following setup: LAN: 192.168.0.0/24 DMZ: 10.0.0.0/24 Internet: some DSL-connection, real IP. looks like this internal (192.168.0.0/24) ^ | | <----Internet----|FW|-->DMZ----10.0.0.0/24 I want to be able to access the webserver in the DMZ via port 443 (which works) and then reverse-proxy these requests to some internal IP on 192.168.0.0/24. That doesn't work. Here's what I have so far: FW_QUICKMODE="no" FW_DEV_EXT="eth-id-00:01:03:4c:cd:c0" FW_DEV_INT="eth-id-00:a0:24:a8:fb:a4" FW_DEV_DMZ="eth-id-00:04:76:13:6d:e5" FW_ROUTE="yes" FW_MASQUERADE="yes" FW_MASQ_DEV="$FW_DEV_EXT" FW_MASQ_NETS="0/0" FW_PROTECT_FROM_INTERNAL="no" FW_AUTOPROTECT_SERVICES="yes" FW_SERVICES_EXT_TCP="ssh" FW_SERVICES_EXT_UDP="" FW_SERVICES_EXT_IP="" FW_SERVICES_EXT_RPC="" FW_SERVICES_DMZ_TCP="" FW_SERVICES_DMZ_UDP="" FW_SERVICES_DMZ_IP="" FW_SERVICES_DMZ_RPC="" FW_SERVICES_INT_TCP="" FW_SERVICES_INT_UDP="" FW_SERVICES_INT_IP="" FW_SERVICES_INT_RPC="" FW_SERVICES_QUICK_TCP="" FW_SERVICES_QUICK_UDP="" FW_SERVICES_QUICK_IP="" FW_TRUSTED_NETS="" FW_ALLOW_INCOMING_HIGHPORTS_TCP="no" FW_ALLOW_INCOMING_HIGHPORTS_UDP="DNS" FW_SERVICE_AUTODETECT="yes" FW_SERVICE_DNS="no" FW_SERVICE_DHCLIENT="no" FW_SERVICE_DHCPD="no" FW_SERVICE_SQUID="no" FW_SERVICE_SAMBA="no" FW_FORWARD="" FW_FORWARD_MASQ="0/0,10.0.0.x,tcp,443 10.0.0.x,192.168.0.y,tcp,80" FW_REDIRECT="" Any ideas how to do that ?

Basics needed: receive mail but mail header contains no 'for'
by Preusse, Mathias 31 Jan '05

31 Jan '05

Hi list, i need probably some basics. The mail header, so i can see it with outlook, seems to be broken. Example: Microsoft Mail Internet Headers Version 2.0 Received: from our.mailgateway.de ([a.b.c.d]) by internal.mailserver.de with Microsoft SMTPSVC(5.0.2195.5329); Mon, 31 Jan 2005 01:38:49 +0100 Received: from egan.earth9.com ([207.254.32.6]) by citation.freezemail.com (InterMail vK.4.04.00.00 781-3[3 This mail goes direktly to a user, not to a postbox for unknown user. It contains no 'for' or message id. I know, that any Mail header could be manipulated, but i thougt, there must be at last a target user (for) to sort it in a available postbox. Any hints or urls? best regards, Mathias Preusse

SuSE firewall and Elster
by Juergen.Mell＠t-online.de 31 Jan '05

31 Jan '05

Hi List, I have a problem with our current firewall setup and the German ELSTER tax program: I use SuSE 9.2 on our internet gateway. Right now, any direct traffic from the internal network to the internet is blocked by SuSE firewall and I have squid and postfix running on the gateway to allow web and e-mail traffic. As the elster program uses a propriatary protocol which cannot be fed through a proxy I now have to open the ports 8000 to 8006 which are used by this program for connections from the internal network to the internet. From what I found, this can be done with the iptables commands iptables -A FORWARD -i $INT -o $EXT -p TCP --dport 8000:8006 \ -j ACCEPT and iptables -A FORWARD -i $EXT -o $INT -m state \ --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -p TCP --sport 8000 -j ACCEPT ($INT and $EXT are the internal resp. external interfaces) So far - so good. But what I am missing now is the masquerading of the IP address of the computer on the internal network (it gets a dynamic IP from the private address range 192.168.x.y). In the firewall script I have disabled masquerading (FW_MASQUERADE="no") to prevent any packets going out without using the squid proxy. Is there any way to open direct connections from the internal network _only_ for destination ports 8000 to 8006 without opening everything else (file-sharing networks etc.)? What iptables commands do I need for this purpose? Is there any better way to get this wounderful piece of software to work? Thank you for your help! Jürgen

Yes, that is the problem. The ipt_MASQUERADE module was not loaded and the computer was not booted after the last automatic kernel update from SuSE. Sorry, this is my fault. But now everything seems to work fine. > Another thing I noted is that your 8000-8006 range is for a specific > application that probably only connects to one server (or one remote > network). It would be wise to limit the destination of these connections > in the forward table to prevent users to use these ports to connect to > other servers on the internet. You can do this by adding "-d <your > elster server ip network>" to the outgoing FORWARD table entry. Yes, that's a good idea. Only problem here: there are 5 different servers on 5 IP addresses (on different networks) - and who knows when they will change these addresses. They do not even use host names but have the IPs hard-coded in the software. Sigh. Jürgen

LDAP and Kerberos
by info.bogenrieder＠sytech.de 28 Jan '05

28 Jan '05

Hi, I'm working on better security for my Server ( SuSE Pro 9.2) and decided to implement Kerberos(0.6.2-8, original heimdal rpm from SuSE 9.2) and LDAP (openldap2-2.2.15-5). I found this excellent howto: http://www.opentechnet.com/auth-howto/ar01s06.html. Now I have one Problem. I started to write my kerberos-information into the LDAP-Directory under the tree ou=kerberos,cn=exaple,cn=com just described on 6.2.1 to 6.2.7 when I change now the kerberos settings in my krb5.conf to [kdc] database = { realm = HIBYTE.DE dbname = ldap:dc=example,dc=com mkey_file = /var/heimdal/m-key } and make now a 'kadmin -l list *' the retrun is empty. In the syslog-fiel I see following entry: Jan 28 17:27:44 linux slapd[17048]: conn=44 fd=13 ACCEPT from PATH=/var/run/slapd/ldapi (PATH=/var/run/slapd/ldapi) Jan 28 17:27:44 linux slapd[17048]: conn=44 op=0 BIND dn="" method=163 Jan 28 17:27:44 linux slapd[17048]: conn=44 op=0 BIND authcid="uidnumber=0+gidnumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth(a)EXAPLE.COM" Jan 28 17:27:44 linux slapd[17048]: conn=44 op=0 BIND dn="uidnumber=0+gidnumber=0,cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth" mech=EXTERNAL ssf=0 Jan 28 17:27:44 linux slapd[17048]: conn=44 op=1 SRCH base="dc=exaple.com,dc=de" scope=1 deref=0 filter="(objectClass=krb5KDCEntry)" Jan 28 17:27:44 linux slapd[17048]: conn=44 op=1 SRCH attr=krb5PrincipalName cn krb5PrincipalRealm krb5KeyVersionNumber krb5Key krb5ValidStart krb5ValidEnd krb5PasswordEnd krb5MaxLife krb5MaxRenew krb5KDCFlags krb5EncryptionType modifiersName modifyTimestamp creatorsName createTimestamp Jan 28 17:27:44 linux slapd[17048]: conn=44 op=1 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=0 nentries=0 text= Jan 28 17:27:44 linux slapd[17048]: conn=44 op=2 UNBIND Jan 28 17:27:44 linux slapd[17048]: conn=44 fd=13 closed If I change krb5.conf to [kdc] database = { realm = HIBYTE.DE dbname = ldap:ou=kerberos,dc=example,dc=com mkey_file = /var/heimdal/m-key } and then make a 'kadmin -l list *' I see all userer. I think the Problem is the searchscope of kerberos. In the logfile the scope is 1, is there a possibility to change this behavior to scope=2? Jörg

Thanks to all who've helped so far. Here are a few further details. Christian Eisendle wrote: > In case of a slow network, the DNS-Server could be the reason for this > >problem, but after a refresh of the site (or maybe restart of the >browser) the website should be opened. >Are there any virtual hosts on the webserver?

From this I conclude that the problem must definitely be with the DNS-Server, or with network speed. The web server is registered with the central university administration, and they've told me it is entered correctly in their DNS server. I can't readily compare nslookup output from outside the university and inside because I'm inside the university network even if I connect from home, but I'll try to get someone to do that for me. As for the samba problem: >What's the exact problem? Is it a connection or an authenticating >problem? At first try to connect with the ip-adress instead of the >netbios name (\\222.222.222.x\share) >Does a telnet to samba server on port 139 work? >Does it work, when SuSEfirewall2 is stopped? > > > > 1) Connection with IP-Address works. 2) telnet is disabled on the server. an ssh connection on that port doesn't work. 3) the connection works without the firewall, even with the server name, and not only with the ip address. with the firewall, it only works with the ip address. The firewall configuration file now looks like this: FW_QUICKMODE="no" FW_DEV_EXT="eth0" FW_DEV_INT="" FW_MASQUERADE="no" FW_PROTECT_FROM_INTERNAL="yes" FW_AUTOPROTECT_SERVICES="yes" FW_SERVICES_EXT_TCP="22 80 ssh www" FW_SERVICES_EXT_UDP="" FW_SERVICES_EXT_IP="" FW_SERVICES_INT_TCP="" FW_SERVICES_INT_UDP="" FW_SERVICES_INT_IP="" FW_TRUSTED_NETS="131.130.180.0/25,tcp,137 131.130.180.0/25,tcp,138 131.130.180.0/25,tcp,139 131.130.180.0/25,tcp,445 131.130.180.0/25,udp,137 131.130.180.0/25,udp,138 131.130.180.0/25,udp,139 131.130.180.0/25,udp,445" FW_ALLOW_INCOMING_HIGHPORTS_TCP="dns" FW_ALLOW_INCOMING_HIGHPORTS_UDP="dns" FW_SERVICE_AUTODETECT="yes" FW_SERVICE_SAMBA="yes" FW_LOG_DROP_CRIT="yes" FW_LOG_DROP_ALL="yes" FW_LOG_ACCEPT_CRIT="yes" FW_LOG_ACCEPT_ALL="no" FW_KERNEL_SECURITY="yes" FW_ALLOW_PING_FW="no" FW_ALLOW_PING_EXT="no" FW_IPSEC_TRUST="no" FW_DEV_DMZ="" FW_SERVICES_DMZ_IP="" FW_SERVICES_DMZ_UDP="" FW_SERVICES_DMZ_TCP="" FW_MASQ_NETS="" FW_ROUTE="no" FW_ALLOW_FW_TRACEROUTE="yes" This is my smb.conf: [global] workgroup = ISTB netbios name = ISTB server server string = ISTB fileserver on %h encrypt passwords = yes invalid users = root hosts allow = 222.222.222.0/25 localhost load printers = no passdb backend = smbpasswd:/etc/samba/smbpasswd [data] comment = ISTB Kollektivverzeichnis volume = ISTB-Kollektiv path = /istb_userdata browseable = yes writeable = yes guest ok = no valid users = istb_user read list = istb_user write list = istb_user Thanks again, Birgit

I've now tried to enter one specific IP address in FW_TRUSTED_NETS, rather than a block in the notation 222.222.222.0/25. With this changed setting, access works. So it seems that my FW_TRUSTED_NETS syntax was wrong after all. But what would be the right way to enter a whole block? Confused greetings, Birgit
