Package : rsync
Vulnerability : heap overflow
Problem-Type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CAN-2003-0962
The rsync team has received evidence that a vulnerability in all
versions of rsync prior to 2.5.7, a fast remote file copy program, was
recently used in combination with a Linux kernel vulnerability to
compromise the security of a public rsync server.
While this heap overflow vulnerability could not be used by itself to
obtain root access on an rsync server, it could be used in combination
with the recently announced do_brk() vulnerability in the Linux kernel
to produce a full remote compromise.
Please note that this vulnerability only affects the use of rsync as
an "rsync server". To see if you are running a rsync server you
should use the command "netstat -a -n" to see if you are listening on
TCP port 873. If you are not listening on TCP port 873 then you are
not running an rsync server.
For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 2.5.5-0.2.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 2.5.6-1.1.
However, since the Debian infrastructure is not yet fully functional
after the recent break-in, packages for the unstable distribution are
not able to enter the archive for a while. Hence they were placed in
my home directory on the security machine:
<http://klecker.debian.org/~joey/rsync/>
We recommend that you upgrade your rsync package immediately if you
are providing remote sync services. If you are running testing and
provide remote sync services please use the packages for woody.
Upgrade Instructions
- --------------------

DESCRIPTION
"rsync"[1] is a program used mainly to mirror files between remote
sites.
rsync versions prior to 2.5.7 have a heap buffer overflow
vulnerability[2] which can be exploited by remote attackers to
execute arbitrary code.
This vulnerability specially affects installations where rsync is
used as a server/daemon, that is, where it was started with the
--daemon command line argument.
A new rsync version, 2.5.7, was released by the authors to address
this vulnerability.
SOLUTION
It is recommended that all rsync users upgrade their packages.
IMPORTANT: after the update, the rsync server must be restarted
manually if it was already running.

OpenBSD Affected
Updated: December 08, 2003
Status
Affected
Vendor Statement
A heap overflow exists in rsync versions 2.5.6 and below that can
be used by an attacker to run arbitrary code. The bug only affects
rsync in server (daemon) mode and occurs *after* rsync has dropped
privileges. By default, server will chroot(2) to the root of the
file tree being served which significantly mitigates the impact of
the bug. Installations that disable this behavior by placing "use
chroot = no" in rsyncd.conf are vulnerable to attack.
Sites that do run rsync in server mode should update their rsync
package as soon as possible. The rsync port has been updated in
the 3.3 and 3.4 -stable branches and a new binary package has been
built for OpenBSD 3.4/i386. It can be downloaded from:
ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.4/packages/i386/rsync-2.5.7.tgz

______________________________________________________________________________
1) problem description, brief discussion, solution, upgrade information
The rsync suite provides client and server tools to easily support an
administrator keeping the files of different machines in sync.
In most private networks the rsync client tool is used via SSH to fulfill
his tasks. In an open environment rsync is run in server mode accepting
connections from many untrusted hosts with, but mostly without,
authentication.
The rsync server drops its root privileges soon after it was started and
per default creates a chroot environment.
Due to insufficient integer/bounds checking in the server code a heap
overflow can be triggered remotely to execute arbitrary code. This code
does not get executed as root and access is limited to the chroot
environment. The chroot environment maybe broken afterwards by abusing
further holes in system software or holes in the chroot setup.
Your are not vulnerable as long as you do not use rsync in server mode
or you use authentication to access the rsync server.
As a temporary workaround you can disable access to your rsync server for
untrusted parties, enable authentication or switch back to rsync via SSH.
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.

2) Pending vulnerabilities in SUSE Distributions and Workarounds:
- discontinue of SuSE Linux 7.3
Two years after the release, SUSE will discontinue providing updates
and security fixes for the SuSE Linux 7.3 consumer product on the
Intel i386 and the PPC Power PC architectures. Vulnerabilities found
after December 15th 2003 will not be fixed any more for SuSE Linux
7.3.
Directory structures referring to the SuSE Linux 7.3 release will be
moved to the discontinued/ tree on our main ftp server ftp.suse.com
the distribution directories first, followed by the update/ directory
tree in January 2004.
Please note that our SuSE Linux Enterprise Server family products have
a much longer support period. These products are not concerned by this
announcement.
- KDE
New KDE packages are currently being tested. These packages fixes
several vulnerabilities:
+ remote root compromise (CAN-2003-0690)
+ weak cookies (CAN-2003-0692)
+ SSL man-in-the-middle attack
+ information leak through HTML-referrer (CAN-2003-0459)
+ wrong file permissions of config files
The packages will be release as soon as testing is finished.
- mc
By using a special combination of links in archive-files it is possible
to execute arbitrary commands while mc tries to open it in its VFS.
The packages are currently tested and will be release as soon as
possible.
- apache1/2
The widely used HTTP server apache has several security vulnerabilities:
- locally exploitable buffer overflow in the regular expression code.
The attacker must be able to modify .htaccess or httpd.conf.
(affects: mod_alias and mod_rewrite)
- under some circumstances mod_cgid will output its data to the
wrong client (affects: apache2)
Update packages are available on our FTP servers.
- freeradius
Two vulnerabilities were found in the FreeRADIUS package.
The remote denial-of-service attack bug was fixed and new packages
will be released as soon as testing was successfully finished.
The other bug is a remote buffer overflow in the module rlm_smb.
We do not ship this module and will fix it for future releases.
- screen
A buffer overflow in screen was reported. Since SuSE Linux 8.0
we do not ship screen with the s-bit anymore. An update package
will be released for 7.3 as soon as possible.
- mod_gzip
The apache module mod_gzip is vulnerable to remote code execution
while running in debug-mode. We do not ship this module in debug-mode
but future versions will include the fix.
Additionally the mod_gzip code was audited to fix more possible security
related bugs.
- unace
The tool unace for handling the archive format ACE is vulnerable to
a buffer overflow that can be triggered with long file-names as command
line argument. This only affects unace version 2.5. Unfortunately this
tool is provided closed source only from the author. Therefore we are
unable to check for other bugs or look at the patch.
Update packages are available from our FTP servers.
______________________________________________________________________________
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 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

Hash: SHA1
[slackware-security] rsync security update (SSA:2003-337-01)
Rsync is a file transfer client and server.
A security problem which may lead to unauthorized machine access
or code execution has been fixed by upgrading to rsync-2.5.7.
This problem only affects machines running rsync in daemon mode,
and is easier to exploit if the non-default option "use chroot = no"
is used in the /etc/rsyncd.conf config file.
Any sites running an rsync server should upgrade immediately.
For complete information, see the rsync home page:
http://rsync.samba.org
Here are the details from the Slackware 9.1 ChangeLog:

From the rsync-2.5.7-NEWS file:
SECURITY:
* Fix buffer handling bugs. (Andrew Tridgell, Martin Pool, Paul
Russell, Andrea Barisani)
The vulnerability affects sites running rsync in daemon mode (rsync
servers). These sites should be upgraded immediately.

Trustix Secure Linux Security Advisory #2003-0048
Package name: rsync
Summary: remote code execution
Date: 2003-12-04
Affected versions: TSL 1.2, 1.5, 2.0
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package description:
Rsync uses a quick and reliable algorithm to very quickly bring
remote and host files into sync. Rsync is fast because it just
sends the differences in the files over the network (instead of
sending the complete files). Rsync is often used as a very powerful
mirroring process or just as a more capable replacement for the
rcp command. A technical report which describes the rsync algorithm
is included in this package.
Problem description:
All versions of rsync prior to 2.5.7 contains a heap overflow that can
be used to exceute arbitary code from remote.
The Common Vulnerabilites and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
assigned the name CAN-2003-0962 to this issue.
Action:
We recommend that all systems with this package installed be upgraded.
Please note that if you do not need the functionality provided by this
package, you may want to remove it from your system.

===========================================================
* rsync -> Heap overflow
===========================================================
More information :
rsync uses the "rsync algorithm" which provides a very fast method for
bringing remote files into sync. It does this by sending just the
differences in the files across the link, without requiring that both
sets of files are present at one of the ends of the link beforehand.
Rsync version 2.5.6 and earlier contains a heap overflow vulnerability
that can be used to remotely run arbitrary code.
Please note that this vulnerability only affects the use of rsync as a "rsync server".
Impact :
This vulnerability may allow remote third party to gain the root privileges.
Affected Products :
- Turbolinux 10 Desktop
- Turbolinux 8 Server
- Turbolinux 8 Workstation
- Turbolinux 7 Server
- Turbolinux 7 Workstation
- Turbolinux Server 6.5
- Turbolinux Advanced Server 6
- Turbolinux Server 6.1
- Turbolinux Workstation 6.0
Solution :
Please use turbopkg(zabom) tool to apply the update.
---------------------------------------------
# turbopkg
or
zabom-1.x
# zabom update rsync
zabom-2.x
# zabom -u rsync
