                        SuSE Security Announcement

        Package:                lprold
        Announcement-ID:        SuSE-SA:2001:033
        Date:                   Wed Oct 10 11:03:12 GMT 2001
        Affected SuSE versions: [6.1, 6.2,] 6.3, 6.4, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2
        Vulnerability Type:     bufferoverflow/local privilege escalation
        Severity (1-10):        6
        SuSE default package:   yes
        Other affected systems: Other Linux distributions, *BSD

    Content of this advisory:
        1) security vulnerability resolved: Several problems in lprold
           problem description, discussion, solution and upgrade information
        2) pending vulnerabilities, solutions, workarounds
        3) standard appendix (further information)

______________________________________________________________________________

1)  problem description, brief discussion, solution, upgrade
information


    ISS X-Force reported an overflow in BSD's lineprinter daemon
    shipped with the lprold package in SuSE Linux. Due to missing
    bounds checks in the lockfile processing function, internal
    buffers may overflow. Bounds checks have been added to fix that
    problem.  Additionally the SuSE Security Team uncovered other
    security releated bugs in lpd while analyzing lpd source after
    receiving the X-Force advisory.  These bugs allows users on
    machines listed in /etc/hosts.lpd or /etc/hosts.equiv to chown
    any file on the system running lpd to any user.  In order to
    trigger any of the fixed bugs (including the overflow) the
    attackers machine must be listed in one of these two access-files
    and the attacker usually needs root on these machines due to the
    privileged-port requirement.  Please download the packages and
    verify them as described in section 3.  After successful
    authentication you can update your packages with the command `rpm
    -Uhv file.rpm'.  As root invoke the command "/etc/rc.d/lpd stop"
    to shutdown the old lpd daemon and "/etc/rc.d/lpd start"
    afterwards to start the patched daemon.

2)  Pending vulnerabilities in SuSE Distributions and Workarounds:

  - sftp/openssh:
    Our last announcement SuSE-SA:2001:032 about WindowMaker claimed
    that the openssh packages on SuSE distributions do not contain the
    sftp-server as described by Peter W <peterw@usa.net> on the bugtraq
    mailing list. This is wrong: The program is indeed included on all
    recent openssh packages of SuSE Linux distributions, starting with
    SuSE Linux 6.4 where the openssh package appeared first.
    We will provide fixes for the distributions 6.4 through 7.2 as soon as
    possible on our ftp server (ftp.suse.de for 6.4-7.0, ftp.suse.com for
    7.1 and newer) and announce these fixes in the section 2) of an
    upcoming security announcement.
    Please note that this error has been corrected shortly before the
    release of the upcoming SuSE Linux 7.3 which will arrive in the stores
    by the end of this week.
    We apologize for this error (Roman Drahtmueller, SuSE Security).

  - squid
    Malformed requests on the client side can cause the squid proxy server
    to die, resulting in a denial of service attack that can be launched
    from the internal network if squid is used at the edge of an internal
    network to proxy requests to the internet.
    We are in the process of testing the update packages that are
    available on the ftp server shortly. SuSE Security will issue a
    dedicated announcement for this issue shortly.

  - devfs/kernel
    SuSE Linux ships the userspace utilities for the use of the devfs
    filesystem in the linux kernel, but neither the utilities nor the
    filesystem interface for device files itself have been used in SuSE
    Linux up to date. The decision to not actively use devfsd in the
    distribution framework is based on security considerations.
    For these reasons, SuSE products are not susceptible to the lately
    found security problems in the devfs implementation.

______________________________________________________________________________

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@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 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@suse.de" upon installation or upgrade, provided that
           the package gpg is installed. The file containing the public key
           is placed at the toplevel directory of the first CD (pubring.gpg)
           and at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/pubring.gpg-build.suse.de .
