Winbind - sudo
by Ciro Iriarte 13 Jan '05

13 Jan '05

I'm using a new box with Suse 9.2 Pro to authenticate against a 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-users run it, sudo prompts for password, and i 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, just a debian base one, now it looks like this: ------------------------------------------------------- #%PAM-1.0 auth sufficient pam_winbind.so auth required pam_unix2.so use_first_pass ------------------------------------------------------ Any ideas? Thanks in advanced. Ciro

Samba Amavis just stopped working
by Andrei Bintintan 12 Jan '05

12 Jan '05

Hi to all, I experienced a few strange behaviors at our server in the last time. I installed Suse 9.1 and everything worked fine untill a few days. I noticed one time that I don't receive emails and after that I saw that Amavis was down. I mean the process was not running. I looked all over in the logs to find a clue but didn't see anything strange. Today the same happened with samba. The service has just stopped. I also looked in the logs and nothing. With amavis it happened once 2 times a day, with samba only one time, but I see it very strange. Does anyone has a clue??? Any info is welcomed. PS: we have a small network so I excluded the posibility that a user could do it manually. Thank you. Andy.

Re: [suse-security] telnet doesnt work (fwd)

Hi ! > I get the following error when i try to enable telnet. > > >/etc/init.d/xinetd start inetd > Starting INET services. (xinetd) > failed > > My system is in the local office network and i need telnet access to my > system enabled. please advice on this.. > --> Is the telnet server package installed? "rpm -q telnet-server" should show you the version. If you need local access only, you can change /etc/xinetd.conf to make xinetd listen on the internal interface only. Next you have to edit /etc/xinet.d/telnet to enable the telnet server. Make sure that the path mentioned as "server" points to the right place. Then restart xinetd by "/usr/sbin/rcxinetd restart". You have been advised about the security implications of running a telnet server. Good luck!

10 Jan '05

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Mon Jan 10 17:00:00 MET 2005 Dear suse-security-announce subscribers and SUSE LINUX users, With the release of the SUSE Linux 9.2 FTP edition today, SUSE Security announces that the SUSE Linux 8.1 version of our home user product will be discontinued soon. Having provided security-relevant fixes for more than two years, vulnerabilities found in SUSE Linux 8.1 after January 31st 2005 will not be fixed any more for this product. As a consequence, the SUSE Linux 8.1 distribution directories on our ftp server ftp.suse.com has been moved from /pub/suse/i386/8.1/ to the /pub/suse/discontinued/ directory tree structure to free space on our mirror sites for the SUSE Linux 9.2 FTP edition; the 8.1 directory in the update tree /pub/suse/i386/update/8.1 will follow later in February/March 2005, as soon as all updates have been published. The discontinuation of SUSE Linux 8.1 enables us to focus on the SUSE LINUX distributions of a newer release date to ensure that our customers can continuously take advantage of the quality that they are used to with SUSE LINUX products. This announcement holds true for SUSE Linux 8.1 only. As usual, SUSE will continue to provide update packages for the following home users distributions: SUSE Linux 8.2 SUSE LINUX 9.0 SUSE LINUX 9.1 and SUSE LINUX 9.2 for a two-year period after the release of the respective distribution. Please note that the maintenance cycles of SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server products and products based on the SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server operating system are not affected by this announcement. To learn more about SUSE LINUX business products, please visit http://www.novell.com/linux/suse/.

Kernel security problem
by Frank Steiner 10 Jan '05

10 Jan '05

Hi, is this problem already fixed in the kernels that were announced in SUSE-SA:2004:044? http://www.isec.pl/vulnerabilities/isec-0021-uselib.txt This email claims it has been discussed with Sebastian Kraemer in Dezember already, but it looks like the email is *not* from Stefan Esser, so I'm not sure if the Disclosure Timeline is just faked. If it's not in the last kernel, is there a fix in the kotd somewhere already? cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform. Frank Steiner Web: http://www.bio.ifi.lmu.de/~steiner/ Lehrstuhl f.

vulnerabilities in SUSE Distributions and Workarounds: Please read our next summary report for more information. ______________________________________________________________________________ 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 recommend against subscribing to security lists that cause the e-mail 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 file name 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 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.

UW imap server compiling
by peter＠frontierflying.com 10 Jan '05

10 Jan '05

Has anyone put together an FAQ on how to compile the UW-imap server with SSLTYPE=unix so the server will accept plain text passwords? I know the issues surrounding secure imap but have a situation where I need to be able to accept plain text passwords internally. I have tried to compile the uw source under SuSE 9.0 and 9.2 but both fail in the c-client section. I have the openssl-devel headers loaded and the imap-devel libraries. What should I be using for SSLDIR or other SSL env variables. I've tried lsu and lnp for system types on the command line. Does SuSE patch the source so much that it is impossible to compile directly from the UW source any more? Thanks, peter

Will SuSE support stack smashing protection one day?
by Malte Gell 08 Jan '05

08 Jan '05

Hi there, I'm just playing a bit with IBM's SSP ( http://www.research.ibm.com/trl/projects/security/ssp/ ) and GCC 3.4.1. Since OpenBSD, Gentoo and others already ship with it, i wonder what do the SuSE security people think about SSP? Will SuSE support it in the future and if not, why? Is SSP really such an improvement as some say it is? regards Malte

Vsftpd and file size restriction
by MB 07 Jan '05

07 Jan '05

I've come across this several times. Whenever I try to transfer a DVD iso, usually being over 4 gigs in size to my SuSE 9.1 file server, it only transfers 8,152 k and then stops. It transfers all other smaller files just fine. I was wondering if this is a problem with the daemon? or SuSE? or has anyone else come across this? I've got all the security and recommended patches installed, rebooted etc. I've tried it with other files being in the 4 gig range and they do the exact same thing, 8,152 k then skip to the next file, as if it was finished. So its not just this one file. Other info: bulletproof ftp winblows client being used latest version vsftpd set to no anon access, allow 20 for data. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
