SuSE Security Announcement: samba (SuSE-SA:2003:025)

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- ______________________________________________________________________________ SuSE Security Announcement Package: samba Announcement-ID: SuSE-SA:2003:025 Date: Monday, Apr 7th 2003 21:00 MEST Affected products: 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2 SuSE Linux Database Server, SuSE eMail Server III, 3.1 SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 7, 8 SuSE Linux Firewall on CD/Admin host SuSE Linux Connectivity Server SuSE Linux Office Server Vulnerability Type: remote root access Severity (1-10): 7 SuSE default package: no Cross References: CAN-2003-0201 Content of this advisory: 1) security vulnerability resolved: samba problem description, discussion, solution and upgrade information 2) pending vulnerabilities, solutions, workarounds: - glibc - vnc 3) standard appendix (further information) ______________________________________________________________________________ 1) problem description, brief discussion, solution, upgrade information Digital Defense Inc. have discovered a buffer overflow in the samba file server, the widely spread implementation of the SMB protocol. The flaw allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands as root on a server that runs a vulnerable version of samba. The vulnerability is known as DDI trans2.c overflow bug and is assigned the CVE ID CAN-2003-0201. Since this vulnerability was found during an analysis of an exploit happening in the wild, it should be assumed that exploits are circulating in the internet. A possible workaround is to restrict access using the "hosts allow" directive in the smb.conf file to a group of trusted hosts/addresses that should be able to access the server. Please see the sbm.conf(5) manpage ("man smb.conf") for more details about such configuration changes. It should be noted that each change of the configuration requires restarting/reloading the samba daemon ("rcsmb reload"). The only efficient and permanent remedy for the vulnerability should be to install the provided update packages from locations as listed below. It should be noted that this announcement is not a re-release of SuSE Security Announcement SuSE-SA:2003:016. While the update packages that are subject of this announcement (SuSE-SA:2003:025) also cover the problems fixed with SuSE-SA:2003:016, it announces fixes for a different vulnerability in addition. Therefore, the update packages must be installed again. Please note that the package names for SuSE products vary for different products. There exist the following pairings: server client ---------------------------- samba smbclnt samba samba-client samba-classic samba-classic-client samba-ldap samba-ldap-client To find out which packages are installed on your system, you may run the following command: rpm -qa|egrep '(samba|smbclnt)' 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. SPECIAL INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS: ============================== After successfully installing the update packages, you should restart the samba server process(es) to make the changes in the system effective. If you do not have a samba server running on your system, no further action is required. If you have a samba server running, please run the following command as root: rcsmb try-restart This will restart the samba daemon(s) if such daemon(s) are already running.

The packages are currently being tested. - vnc VNC (Virtual Network Computing) uses a weak cookie generation process which can be exploited by an attacker to bypass authentication. New packages are currently being tested and will be available on our FTP servers soon. ______________________________________________________________________________ 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 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@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 to verify the signature of the package, where 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@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@suse.com - general/linux/SuSE security discussion.
