SPAM: AppArmor and vsftpd
by Miguel ALBUQUERQUE 18 Aug '06

18 Aug '06

I was just wondering how AppArmor and vsftpd will react if one enables the vsftpd option chroot_local_user=YES on /etc/vsftpd.conf Correct me if I am wrong, but as much as i understood, AA is for protecting data integrety as chroot jails for creating user confinement. In that case the combination of both will be a very good compromise in security vs performance or it's just a bit overkill ?

Impenetrable firewall - SuSE 9.2
by Keith Hopper 16 Aug '06

16 Aug '06

Greetings, I have a small home network of machines connected through the internal ethernet port of my SuSE linux server (192.168.42.xxx). The external ethernet port is connected to a LinkSys dsl modem (192.168.1.2 on the server to 192.168.1.1 - the modem). I have a fixed IP and the domain name asgard.org.nz to go with it - in the /etc/hosts file against the sever machine name srv too. I set up the firewall so that the local net could access the internet - but not vice versa. All has worked very well for months. By the way the HOSTNAME file appears to contain srv.asgard.org.nz correctly! Needing to publish a small web site now, I have set up apache 2.0.55 suitably configured - which works well on the local network. However, despite the fact that the host (called server.asgard.org.nz on the modem port) has the same name as the Apache ServerName and I appear to have the correct firewall settings as far as my reading of the config file and the examples tells me - ------- # 1 FW_QUICKMODE="no" #2 FW_DEV_EXT="eth-id-00:90:27:a7:d3:d2" #3 FW_DEV_INT="eth-id-00:50:8b:62:08:e6" #4 FW_DEV_DMZ="" #5 FW_ROUTE="yes" #6 FW_MASQUERADE="yes" #6a FW_MASQ_DEV="$FW_DEV_EXT" FW_MASQ_NETS="0/0" #7 FW_PROTECT_FROM_INTERNAL="no" #8 FW_AUTOPROTECT_SERVICES="yes" #9 FW_SERVICES_EXT_TCP="5801 5901 domain http https" FW_SERVICES_EXT_UDP="domain isakmp" FW_SERVICES_EXT_IP="" FW_SERVICES_EXT_RPC="" FW_SERVICES_DMZ_TCP="http https 80" FW_SERVICES_DMZ_UDP="" FW_SERVICES_DMZ_IP="" FW_SERVICES_DMZ_RPC="" FW_SERVICES_INT_TCP="ftp http https 80" FW_SERVICES_INT_UDP="" FW_SERVICES_INT_IP="esp" FW_SERVICES_INT_RPC="mountd nfs nfs_acl ftp nlockmgr status" FW_SERVICES_DROP_EXT="" FW_SERVICES_REJECT_EXT="0/0,tcp,113" #9a FW_SERVICES_QUICK_TCP="" FW_SERVICES_QUICK_UDP="" FW_SERVICES_QUICK_IP="" #10 FW_TRUSTED_NETS="" #11 FW_ALLOW_INCOMING_HIGHPORTS_TCP="" FW_ALLOW_INCOMING_HIGHPORTS_UDP="" #13 FW_FORWARD="" #14 FW_FORWARD_MASQ="" #15 FW_REDIRECT="" #16 FW_LOG_DROP_CRIT="yes" FW_LOG_DROP_ALL="no" FW_LOG_ACCEPT_CRIT="yes" FW_LOG_ACCEPT_ALL="no" FW_LOG_LIMIT="" FW_LOG="" #17 FW_KERNEL_SECURITY="yes" #17a FW_ANTISPOOF="no" #18 FW_STOP_KEEP_ROUTING_STATE="no" #19 FW_ALLOW_PING_FW="yes" #19a FW_ALLOW_PING_DMZ="no" #19b FW_ALLOW_PING_EXT="yes" ## # END of /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2 ## # EXPERT OPTIONS - all others please don't change these! #20 FW_ALLOW_FW_TRACEROUTE="yes" #21 FW_ALLOW_FW_SOURCEQUENCH="yes" #22 FW_ALLOW_FW_BROADCAST="int" FW_IGNORE_FW_BROADCAST="no" #23 FW_ALLOW_CLASS_ROUTING="no" #25 FW_CUSTOMRULES="" #26 FW_REJECT="no" #27 FW_HTB_TUNE_DEV="" #28 FW_IPv6="" #28a FW_IPv6_REJECT_OUTGOING="yes" #29 FW_IPSEC_TRUST="int" -------------------------------- I cannot seem to get any local browser to access the web server with the external (srv.asgard.org.nz) IP address. I have tried external port scanners and they seem to see no open ports at all. Having spent two days getting nowhere - but learning a lot, I feel I need to humbly ask for help. It's probably something obvious to you experts - sorry, I don't see what might be wrong. Help, please! Keith Hopper -- Sky Development

password memory
by Ashley Gould 02 Aug '06

02 Aug '06

The managers are discussing password requirements. One desire is to disallow previously used passwords with memory of up to ten passwords used. Is there a sweet and simple way to implement this in SLES9/10? I don't see a pam module with this facility. -- -ashley Did you try poking at it with a stick?

Auditing System
by Thomas Jones 31 Jul '06

31 Jul '06

Hello all, I am under the impression that LAuS will not be ported forward to newer kernels --- 2.6.10+. Is this correct? Also, I understand that RedHat's auditing system has made it into the vanilla kernel. How does this affect the CC-EAL4+ certification? Essentially, the certification will not be valid in any extent past kernel 2.6.5 correct? I was hoping to acquire CC-EAL4+ equivalent security functions and measures within the 2.6.17 kernel. Has there been any precedence or discussion about this aspect of previous kernels from the SLES parentage moving forward to newer releases? Thanks. Thomas

Upgrading SLES9 Susefirewall2 to SuSE9.3
by Michael James 31 Jul '06

31 Jul '06

Susefirewall2 fills my logs with reports of dropped packets as a stupid windows network monitor tries to talk SNMP. I've asked them to stop, but often "fixing the internet" is not the easiest way to resolve problems. The SLES9 version of Susefirewall2 lacks the parameter "FW_SERVICES_DROP_EXT="0/0,tcp,161" # Packets to silently reject without log message. So as I've done so often, I upgraded the SLES9 RPM. rpm -Fvh SuSEfirewall2-3.3-18.noarch.rpm Pulled a copy of /etc/sysconfig/Susefirewall2 across from my 9.3 workstation and customised it. Rebooted and it seems to work fine. I'll give it a week and upgrade all the production boxes. Just wanted to share that, (and see if anyone knew why not...) michaelj -- Michael James michael.james(a)csiro.au System Administrator voice: 02 6246 5040 CSIRO Bioinformatics Facility fax: 02 6246 5166 No matter how much you pay for software, you always get less than you hoped.

The authenticity and integrity of a SUSE security announcement is guaranteed by a cryptographic signature in each announcement. All SUSE security announcements are published with a valid signature. To verify the signature of the announcement, save it as text into a file and run the command gpg --verify <file> replacing <file> with the name of the file where you saved the announcement. The output for a valid signature looks like: gpg: Signature made <DATE> using RSA key ID 3D25D3D9 gpg: Good signature from "SuSE Security Team <security(a)suse.de>" where <DATE> is replaced by the date the document was signed. If the security team's key is not contained in your key ring, you can import it from the first installation CD. To import the key, use the command gpg --import gpg-pubkey-3d25d3d9-36e12d04.asc - Package authenticity verification: SUSE update packages are available on many mirror FTP servers all over the world. While this service is considered valuable and important to the free and open source software community, the authenticity and the integrity of a package needs to be verified to ensure that it has not been tampered with. 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) Using the internal gpg signatures of the rpm package 2) MD5 checksums as provided in this announcement 1) The internal 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, replacing <file.rpm> with the filename of the RPM package downloaded. The package is unmodified if it contains a valid signature from build(a)suse.de with the key ID 9C800ACA. This key is automatically imported into the RPM database (on RPMv4-based distributions) and the gpg key ring of 'root' during installation. You can also find it on the first installation CD and at the end of this announcement. 2) If you need an alternative means of verification, use the md5sum command to verify the authenticity of the packages. Execute the command md5sum <filename.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 SUSE security announcement. Because the announcement containing the checksums is cryptographically signed (by security(a)suse.de) the checksums show proof of the authenticity of the package if the signature of the announcement is valid. Note that the md5 sums published in the SUSE Security Announcements are valid for the respective packages only. Newer versions of these packages cannot be verified. - SUSE runs two security mailing lists to which any interested party may subscribe: suse-security(a)suse.com - General Linux and SUSE security discussion.

How to not allowing YoU to update the kernel?
by Beck, Odd Arne 28 Jul '06

28 Jul '06

Hello guys! I've been trying to find a manual for YaST (YoU) but haven't found the answers.. Hope you're not killing me for raising this question in this group, but it is somehow security related, at least for my part :-) As I have installed a program that requires the server to have a "stable" kernel version I would like YoU to NOT update the kernel unless I say so. If the kernel is updated I have to recompile the beforementioned program in order for it to work... (...in case of an emergency/uncontrolled reboot) I've taken a look at YoU and found the kernel in the list and kinda "locked" it (there's a symbol of a lock next to it and it says Protected - Do Not Modify). I wonder if this is the correct procedure for not having an uncontrolled kernel update. Best regards.

Bug in nfsd from kernel 2.6.16.21-0.13
by Marco Munderloh 26 Jul '06

26 Jul '06

Hello, I discovered a bug in the nfs daemon delivered with the kernel update to kernel 2.6.16.21-0.13. When accessing a large amount of files over an nfs export from a machine with SuSE 10.1 and kernel 2.6.16.21-0.13, stale NFS handles occur. After a short period (3-5s) the files are accessible again. "grep -R hello" * triggers the bug for example. My configuration: SuSE 10.1 with kernel 2.6.16.21-0.13, NFS export of an XFS filesystem mounted on different clients with autofs (UDP and TCP). Degrading back the kernel to 2.6.16.13-4 and all works fine again. Regards, Marco
