CERT/CC Vulnerability Note VU#308891

Overview

OpenSSL is an open-source implementation of the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol. There is a buffer overflow on 64-bit platforms related to the ASCII representation of integers.

Description

OpenSSL clients and servers running on 64-bit platforms prior to version 0.9.6e and pre-release version 0.9.7-beta2 contain multiple remotely exploitable buffer overflow vulnerabilities. These buffers are used to hold ASCII representations of integers.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to the execution of arbitrary code on the system. Exploitation of a server will cause the code to be executed with the privileges of the application or service exploited via this vulnerability. For exploited clients, a remote attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code on the client system with the privileges of the current user.

Solution

Apply the patches provided by your vendors, or upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.6e. Note that applications statically linking to OpenSSL libraries may need to be recompiled with the corrected version of OpenSSL.

PACKAGE :openssl SUMMARY :denial of service / remote root exploit DATE :2002-07-30 16:15:00
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
OVERVIEW
Multiple potentially remotely exploitable vulnerabilities has been found in OpenSSL.
DETAIL
1. The client master key in SSL2 could be oversized and overrun a buffer. This vulnerability was also independently discovered by consultants at Neohapsis (http://www.neohapsis.com/) who have also demonstrated that the vulerability is exploitable. Exploit code is NOT available at this time.
2. The session ID supplied to a client in SSL3 could be oversized and overrun a buffer.
3. The master key supplied to an SSL3 server could be oversized and overrun a stack-based buffer. This issues only affects OpenSSL 0.9.7 before 0.9.7-beta3 with Kerberos enabled.
4. Various buffers for ASCII representations of integers were too small on 64 bit platforms.
The full advisory can be read at http://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20020730.txt
SOLUTION
It is recommended that all Gentoo Linux users update their systems as follows.
emerge --clean rsync emerge openssl emerge clean
After the installation of the updated OpenSSL you should restart the services that uses OpenSSL, which include such common services as OpenSSH, SSL-Enabled POP3, IMAP, and SMTP servers, and stunnel-wrapped services as well.
Also, if you have an application that is statically linked to openssl you will need to reemerge that application to build it against the new OpenSSL.

+------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | EnGarde Secure Linux Security Advisory July 30, 2002 | | http://www.engardelinux.org/ ESA-20020730-019 | | | | Packages: openssl, openssl-misc | | Summary: several vulnerabilities in the openssl library. | +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
EnGarde Secure Linux is a secure distribution of Linux that features improved access control, host and network intrusion detection, Web based secure remote management, complete e-commerce using AllCommerce, and integrated open source security tools.
OVERVIEW - -------- There are several potentially exploitable vulnerabilities in the OpenSSL toolkit. A security review of OpenSSL is being done by A.L. Digital Ltd and The Bunker (http://www.thebunker.net/) under the DARPA program CHATS. Through this review, the following vulnerabilities were discovered:
1. The client master key in SSL2 could be oversized and overrun a buffer. This vulnerability was also independently discovered by consultants at Neohapsis (http://www.neohapsis.com/) who have also demonstrated that the vulnerability is exploitable.
2. The session ID supplied to a client in SSL3 could be oversized and overrun a buffer.
3. Various buffers for ASCII representations of integers were too small on 64 bit platforms.
4. The ASN1 parser can be confused by supplying it with certain invalid encodings.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2002-0656 to issues 1-2, CAN-2002-0655 to issue 3, and CAN-2002-0659 to issue 4.
SOLUTION - -------- Users of the EnGarde Professional edition can use the Guardian Digital Secure Network to update their systems automatically.
EnGarde Community users should upgrade to the most recent version as outlined in this advisory. Updates may be obtained from:
ftp://ftp.engardelinux.org/pub/engarde/stable/updates/ http://ftp.engardelinux.org/pub/engarde/stable/updates/
Before upgrading the package, the machine must either:
a) be booted into a "standard" kernel; or b) have LIDS disabled.
To disable LIDS, execute the command:
# /sbin/lidsadm -S -- -LIDS_GLOBAL
To install the updated package, execute the command:
# rpm -Uvh files
You must now update the LIDS configuration by executing the command:

NetBSD Security Advisory 2002-009 ================================= (updated 2002/9/22)
Topic:Multiple vulnerabilities in OpenSSL code
Version:NetBSD-current: source prior to August 10, 2002 NetBSD-1.6 beta: affected NetBSD-1.5.3: affected NetBSD-1.5.2: affected NetBSD-1.5.1: affected NetBSD-1.5: affected NetBSD-1.4.*: not applicable pkgsrc: prior to openssl-0.9.6f
Severity:Potential for remote root exploit
Fixed:NetBSD-current:August 10, 2002 NetBSD-1.6 branch:August 11, 2002 (1.6 includes the fix) NetBSD-1.5 branch:August 31, 2002 pkgsrc:openssl-0.9.6f (or later)
NOTE: previous advisory had fixed dates prior to August 10. There were errors found in the vendor-supplied fix, therefore the fixed dates were modified. Sorry for the confusion and thanks for the patience.
NOTE: previous revision of advisory suggested that 1.5 branch was fixed on August 1, however the fix was found to be insufficient. Therefore, users of 1.5 should apply the fix presented in this revised advisory. Sorry for the confusion and thanks for the patience.
NOTE: previous revision of advisory suggested that 1.5 branch can be fixed by rebuilding part of the source code tree (shared library). However, it was incorrect. Follow the instruction below and perform a full build. Sorry for the confusion and thanks for the patience.

Abstract ========
There are multiple vulnerabilities found in openssl 0.9.6e and prior releases. There are four remotely-exploitable buffer overruns in SSL2/3 code. The ASN1 parser can be confused by invalid encodings (SSL/TLS code affected).
None of these services are enabled by default in NetBSD, however, by enabling services built with these libraries, a system would become vulnerable.
- From the OpenSSL advisory:
"Everyone using OpenSSL 0.9.6d or earlier, or 0.9.7-beta2 or earlier or current development snapshots of 0.9.7 to provide SSL or TLS is vulnerable, whether client or server. 0.9.6d servers on 32-bit systems with SSL 2.0 disabled are not vulnerable."
After the above advisory was published, - 0.9.6e was found to be vulnerable, and 0.9.6f was released. - 0.9.6f had some build framework errors, and 0.9.6g was released.
The NetBSD fix includes OpenSSL 0.9.6g.

Technical Details =================
http://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20020730.txthttp://CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE/advisories/c-integer-overflow.php

Solutions and Workarounds =========================
The recent NetBSD 1.6 release is not vulnerable to this issue. A full upgrade to NetBSD 1.6 is the recommended resolution for all users able to do so. Many security-related improvements have been made, and indeed this release has been delayed several times in order to include fixes for a number of recent issues.
The following instructions describe how to upgrade your libcrypto/libssl binaries by updating your source tree and rebuilding and installing a new version of libcrypto/libssl.
Be sure to restart running instances of programs that use crypto libraries (like sshd) after upgrading shared libraries.
If you have any statically-linked binaries that linked against a vulnerable libcrypto and/or libssl, you need to recompile them.

* NetBSD-current:
Systems running NetBSD-current dated from before 2002-08-10 should be upgraded to NetBSD-current dated 2002-08-10 or later.
The following directories need to be updated from the netbsd-current CVS branch (aka HEAD): crypto/Makefile.openssl crypto/dist/openssl lib/libcrypto lib/libssl
To update from CVS, re-build, and re-install libcrypto and libssl: # cd src # cvs update -d -P crypto/Makefile.openssl crypto/dist/openssl \ lib/libcrypto lib/libssl
# make includes # cd lib/libcrypto # make cleandir dependall # make install # cd ../../lib/libssl # make cleandir dependall # make install

* NetBSD 1.6 beta:
Systems running NetBSD 1.6 BETAs and Release Candidates should be upgraded to the NetBSD 1.6 release.
If a source-based point upgrade is required, sources from the NetBSD 1.6 branch dated 2002-08-11 or later should be used.
The following directories need to be updated from the netbsd-1-6 CVS branch: crypto/Makefile.openssl crypto/dist/openssl lib/libcrypto lib/libssl
To update from CVS, re-build, and re-install libcrypto and libssl: # cd src # cvs update -d -P -r netbsd-1-6 crypto/Makefile.openssl \ crypto/dist/openssl lib/libcrypto lib/libssl
# make includes # cd lib/libcrypto # make cleandir dependall # make install # cd ../../lib/libssl # make cleandir dependall # make install

* NetBSD 1.5, 1.5.1, 1.5.2, 1.5.3:
Systems running NetBSD-1.5.x dated from before 2002-08-31 should be upgraded to NetBSD-1.5 branch dated 2002-08-31 or later.
The following directories need to be updated from the netbsd-1-5 CVS branch. Due to the shlib major bump in libcrypto/libssl large number of shared libraries has to be rebuilt: crypto/Makefile.openssl crypto/dist/openssl lib/libasn1 lib/libcom_err lib/libcrypto lib/libgssapi lib/libhdb lib/libkadm lib/libkadm5clnt lib/libkadm5srv lib/libkafs lib/libkdb lib/libkrb lib/libkrb5 lib/libkstream lib/libroken lib/libsl lib/libss lib/libtelnet usr.bin/openssl
All userland tools that use openssl needs to be rebuilt, due to the shlib major bump. Therefore, full rebuild is suggested. Make sure to rebuild all binaries installed by pkgsrc as well.
To update from CVS, re-build, and re-install libcrypto and libssl: # cd src # cvs update -d -P -r netbsd-1-5 <directories listed above>
# make build

* NetBSD 1.4, 1.4.1, 1.4.2, 1.4.3:
OpenSSL was not included in the base system in NetBSD-1.4.* Follow the directions for pkgsrc if you have installed it from pkgsrc.

* pkgsrc:
openssl (pkgsrc/security/openssl) prior to 0.9.6f are vulnerable. Upgrade to openssl-0.9.6f or later; pkgsrc currently contains 0.9.6g at time of this writing.
Packages which require openssl can be found by running 'pkg_info openssl'. Depending on the method you choose to update pkgsrc packages, a rebuild of the packages on that list may be performed for you by the package system. If you update using the experimental 'make replace' target, you will need to manually update any packages which build static binaries with libssl.a and libcrypto.a
If you have statically linked binaries in pkgsrc, they have to be rebuilt. Statically linked binaries can be identified by the following command (note: be sure to include the directory you install pkgsrc binaries to, if you've changed LOCALBASE from the default of /usr/pkg)
file /usr/pkg/{bin,sbin,libexec} | grep static

Description: According to an official security advisory from the OpenSSL team, there are four remotely exploitable buffer overflows that affect various OpenSSL client and server implementations [5]. There are also parsing problems in the ASN.1 library used by OpenSSL. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project assigned the ids CAN-2002-0655 [6], CAN-2002-0656 [7], CAN-2002-0657 [8] and CAN-2002-0659 [9] to the problems. Several of these vulnerabilities could be used by a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system. All could be used to create a denial of service.
Please check whether you are affected by running "<prefix>/bin/rpm -q openssl". If you have the "openssl" package installed and its version is affected (see above), we recommend that you immediately upgrade it (see Solution). Additionally, you have to rebuild and reinstall all dependent OpenPKG packages, too. [2]
Solution: Select the updated source RPM appropriate for your OpenPKG release [4], fetch it from the OpenPKG FTP service [3] or a mirror location, verify its integrity [1], build a corresponding binary RPM from it and update your OpenPKG installation by applying the binary RPM [2]. For the latest OpenPKG 1.0 release, perform the following operations to permanently fix the security problem (for other releases adjust accordingly).
$f t p f t p . o p e n p k g . o r g f t p > b i n f t p > c d r e l e a s e / 1.0 / U P D f t p > g e t o p e n s s l - 0.9 .6 b - 1.0 .1 . s r c . r p m f t p > b y e$ <prefix>/bin/rpm --checksig openssl-0.9.6b-1.0.1.src.rpm $< p r e f i x > / b i n / r p m - - r e b u i l d o p e n s s l - 0.9 .6 b - 1.0 .1 . s r c . r p m$ su - # <prefix>/bin/rpm -Fvh <prefix>/RPM/PKG/openssl-0.9.6b-1.0.1.*.rpm

Dated: 1 August, 2002
Updated: 5 August, 2002

OpenSSL Security Vulnerability

Products affected:

Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) shipped with the database up to and
including version 9.2.0.
Oracle9iAS versions earlier than 9.0.2, including all versions
1.0.2.x.
CorporateTime Outlook Connector (CTOC), versions 3.1, 3.1.1,
3.1.2, and 3.3 on Windows 98, NT, 2K, XP.

Description:

There are remotely exploitable buffer overflow vulnerabilities in
OpenSSL versions prior to 0.9.6e.
These vulnerabilities may allow a remote attacker to execute
arbitrary code or perform a denial-of-service (DoS) attack.

These problems are described in the OpenSSL Security Advisory [30
July 2002]:

[25]http://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20020730.txt

These problems are also described in CERT Advisory CA-2002-23:

[26]http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2002-23.html

Workarounds:

There are no workarounds against the potential denial-of-service
attack. Disabling SSL should prevent remote execution of code.

Users of Corporate Time Outlook Connector can disable TLS by adding
the following section to the CTOC.INI file:
[CTOC]
allow-tls=FALSE

NOTE:

Disabling SSL or TLS will result in data being transmitted in the
clear (i.e. unencrypted), including passwords when using Basic
Authentication.

______________________________________________________________________________

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

This advisory is issued in an attempt to clarify any issues
surrounding the recently discovered Apache/mod_ssl worm.

On July 30, we released a security advisory concerning vulnerabilities
in OpenSSL, including a buffer overflow in the SSL code. This
vulnerability (CVE CAN-2002-0656, also discussed in CERT Advisory
http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2002-23.html) is currently being
exploited by a worm called Slapper, propagating through Apache's
mod_ssl module.

It is worth noting that even though the worm infects Apache through
mod_ssl, this is not a vulnerability in mod_ssl or Apache, but in
the OpenSSL library used by mod_ssl.

This also means that Apache may not be the only service vulnerable
to an attack via the SSL bug. Similar exploits may be possible
against cyrus-imapd, sendmail with TLS support, or sslwrap-enabled
services.

As a workaround, it is also possible to disable SSLv2 in mod_ssl
(as described in our previous advisory SuSE-SA:2002:027;
http://www.suse.com/de/security/2002_027_openssl.html), but you
should be aware that this does not protect other SSL based servers
that may be running on your machine.

We have received numerous inquiries from SuSE users on whether the
update packages provided by SuSE as part of SA:2002:027 fix this bug
even though they do not contain the latest OpenSSL version recommended
in various advisories.

To clarify this, we would like to state that these packages DO FIX
the bug exploited by the Slapper worm. Following established policy,
we did this by applying a source code patch instead of upgrading to
a newer version, because the latter usually causes serious problems
for many users (in particular, different versions of OpenSSL libraries
are not always API compatible).

However, it turns out that a number of packages were statically
linked against OpenSSL libraries:

mod_ssl (SuSE Linux 7.0):
We have released rebuilt mod_ssl packages linked against the
most recent OpenSSL libraries.

If you run mod_ssl on SuSE Linux 7.0, you must upgrade mod_ssl,
too.

sendmail-tls (SuSE Linux 7.1, 7.2, 7.3):
Sendmail-tls, the SSL enabled version of sendmail, was linked
statically against OpenSSL on SuSE 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3. The security
impact of this problem is probably the same as with Apache and
mod_ssl.

We are releasing rebuilt packages linked against the most
OpenSSL libraries.

Sendmail-tls is not part of the default installation profile.

If you are using sendmail-tls, we strongly recommend you upgrade
to the latest packages provided on our FTP servers.

openssh (SuSE Linux 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3):
Ssh and sshd do not use any SSL functionality, and thus are not
susceptible to the type of attack carried out by the Slapper worm.

To date, we are not aware of any way to exploit them. We nevertheless
recommend to upgrade to the latest versions provided on our FTP site.

freeswan (SuSE Linux 7.1, 7.2):
FreeSWAN includes a utility named fswcert for creating and
manipulating X.509 certificates, which is also linked statically
against libcrypto.

To date, we are not aware of any way to exploit them. We
nevertheless recommend to upgrade to the latest versions provided
on our FTP site as soon as they become available (2002 Sep 20).

2) Pending vulnerabilities in SuSE Distributions and Workarounds:

mod_php4:
we are preparing an update of mod_php4 addressing various
vulnerabilities that have been published recently.

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 .

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Addition to Trustix Secure Linux Bugfix Advisory #2002-0063
Package name: openssl Summary: Restart services Date: 2002-08-01 Affected versions: TSL 1.1, 1.2, 1.5
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Problem description: I really hope all of you have updated the openssl package. :)
Most of you know this already, and I'm sorry I didn't include this in the openssl advisory earlier this week. But here it goes:
Since openssl is a shared library, all services linked against this library must be restarted for the changes to take affect.
The list of services is long and includes (but are not limited to):
httpd (mod_php4 is linked against libssl) httpsd simap pop3s postfix postgresql smb (maybe also winbind) sshd

Action: We recommend that all services that are linked against openssl are restarted.
