OpenSSH contains buffer management errors

Vulnerability Note VU#333628

Original Release Date: 2003-09-16 | Last Revised: 2008-08-12

Overview

Versions of the OpenSSH server prior to 3.7.1 contain buffer management errors. While the full impact of these vulnerabilities are unclear, they may lead to memory corruption and a denial-of-service situation.

Description

Versions of OpenSSH prior to 3.7.1 contain errors in the general handling of buffers. These vulnerabilities appear to occur due to some buffer management errors. Specifically, this is an issue with freeing the appropriate memory size on the heap. In certain cases, the memory cleared is too large and might cause heap corruption.

Various network and embedded systems may use OpenSSH or derived code. These systems may also be affected by this issue.

We have seen reports of exploitation that may be related to this issue.

Impact

The full impact of these vulnerabilities is unclear. The most likely impact is that the heap may be corrupted leading to a denial of service.
If it is possible to exploit this vulnerability in a manner that would allow the execution of arbitrary code then an attacker may be able to so with the privileges of the user running the sshd process, usually root. The impact may be limited on systems using the privilege separation feature available in OpenSSH for some systems.

Solution

Apply patches
The OpenSSH developement team has developed patches and an advisory for this issue. More details will be available at

http://www.openssh.com/txt/buffer.adv
Users of systems that include OpenSSH software are encouraged to check the vendors section of this document for more information.

Disable or limit access to the ssh service


For those systems that do not require ssh to be enabled, we encourage users to disable the service. If the service cannot be disabled and patches cannot be applied, we recommend using a packet filter to limit access to the vulnerable service from only trusted hosts.

Notified:  September 16, 2003 Updated: October 01, 2003

Status

Affected

Vendor Statement

Apple: Mac OS X 10.2.8 contains the patches to address CVE CAN-2003-0693, CAN-2003-0695, and CAN-2003-0682. On Mac OS X versions prior to 10.2.8, the vulnerability is limited to a denial of service from the possibility of causing sshd to crash. Each login session has its own sshd, so established connections are preserved up to the point where system resources are exhausted by an attack.

To deliver the update in a rapid and reliable manner, only the patches for CVE IDs listed above were applied, and not the entire set of patches for OpenSSH 3.7.1. Thus, the OpenSSH version in Mac OS X 10.2.8, as obtained via the "ssh -V" command, is:

0.   Revision History

v1.0  2003-09-16  Initial release
v1.1  2003-09-17  Typo in instructions for restarting sshd

Additional buffer management errors corrected

I.   Background

OpenSSH is a free version of the SSH protocol suite of network
connectivity tools.  OpenSSH encrypts all traffic (including
passwords) to effectively eliminate eavesdropping, connection
hijacking, and other network-level attacks. Additionally, OpenSSH
provides a myriad of secure tunneling capabilities, as well as a
variety of authentication methods. `ssh' is the client application,
while `sshd' is the server.

II.  Problem Description

Several operations within OpenSSH require dynamic memory allocation
or reallocation.  Examples are: the receipt of a packet larger
than available space in a currently allocated buffer; creation of
additional channels beyond the currently allocated maximum; and
allocation of new sockets beyond the currently allocated maximum.
Many of these operations can fail either due to `out of memory' or
due to explicit checks for ridiculously sized requests.  However, the
failure occurs after the allocation size has already been updated, so
that the bookkeeping data structures are in an inconsistent state (the
recorded size is larger than the actual allocation).  Furthermore,
the detection of these failures causes OpenSSH to invoke several
`fatal_cleanup' handlers, some of which may then attempt to use these
inconsistent data structures.  For example, a handler may zero and
free a buffer in this state, and as a result memory outside of the
allocated area will be overwritten with NUL bytes.

III. Impact

A remote attacker can cause OpenSSH to crash.  The bug is not believed
to be exploitable for code execution on FreeBSD.

IV.  Workaround

Do one of the following:

1) Disable the base system sshd by executing the following command as
root:


# kill `cat /var/run/sshd.pid`

Be sure that sshd is not restarted when the system is restarted
by adding the following line to the end of /etc/rc.conf:


sshd_enable="NO"

AND

Deinstall the openssh or openssh-portable ports if you have one of
them installed.


V.   Solution

Do one of the following:

[For OpenSSH included in the base system]

1) Upgrade your vulnerable system to 4-STABLE or to the RELENG_5_1,
RELENG_4_8, or RELENG_4_7 security branch dated after
the correction date (5.1-RELEASE-p3, 4.8-RELEASE-p5, or
4.7-RELEASE-p15, respectively).


2) FreeBSD systems prior to the correction date:

The following patches have been verified to apply to FreeBSD 4.x and
FreeBSD 5.x systems prior to the correction date.

Download the appropriate patch and detached PGP signature from the following
locations, and verify the signature using your PGP utility.

[FreeBSD 4.3 and 4.4]
# fetch
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/patches/SA-03:12/buffer44.patch
# fetch
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/patches/SA-03:12/buffer44.patch.asc

[FreeBSD 4.5]
# fetch
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/patches/SA-03:12/buffer45.patch
# fetch
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/patches/SA-03:12/buffer45.patch.asc

[FreeBSD 4.6 and later, FreeBSD 5.0 and later]
# fetch
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/patches/SA-03:12/buffer46.patch
# fetch
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/patches/SA-03:12/buffer46.patch.asc

Execute the following commands as root:

# cd /usr/src
# patch < /path/to/sshd.patch
# cd /usr/src/secure/lib/libssh
# make depend && make all install
# cd /usr/src/secure/usr.sbin/sshd
# make depend && make all install
# cd /usr/src/secure/usr.bin/ssh
# make depend && make all install

Be sure to restart `sshd' after updating.

# kill `cat /var/run/sshd.pid`
# /usr/sbin/sshd

[For the OpenSSH ports]

One of the following:

1) Upgrade your entire ports collection and rebuild the OpenSSH port.

2) Deinstall the old package and install a new package obtained from
the following directory:

[i386]
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4-stable/security/

[other platforms]
Packages are not automatically generated for other platforms at this
time due to lack of build resources.

3) Download a new port skeleton for the openssh or openssh-portable
port from:

http://www.freebsd.org/ports/

and use it to rebuild the port.

4) Use the portcheckout utility to automate option (3) above. The
portcheckout port is available in /usr/ports/devel/portcheckout or the
package can be obtained from:

ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4-stable/Latest/portcheckout.tgz
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5-current/Latest/portcheckout.tgz

Be sure to restart `sshd' after updating.

# kill `cat /var/run/sshd.pid`
# test -x /usr/local/etc/rc.d/sshd.sh && sh /usr/local/etc/rc.d/sshd.sh start

Ingrian Networks Security Advisory ING-2003-05

Revision 1.0

Dated: 9/22/2003

Posted: https://www.ingrian.com/support/iwsc/security.php


Summary
=======


The Ingrian DataSecure platform secures business applications and data.

This advisory describes a vulnerabilty in all Ingrian platforms.
This vulnerability is in the SSH server, which is used for secure
access to the command line interface (CLI). There are buffer overflow
bugs in the SSH server that could allow an attacker who can connect to the
ssh port to crash the SSH server. At this time there are no
known exploits, nor are there any known attacks that exploit the
buffer overflow to obtain access to an Ingrian device.


There is a workaround: block access to port 22 (ssh) at the firewall.


Applying the appropriate patch from those listed below will
fix the vulnerability. The patches are available at
https://www.ingrian.com/support/iwsc/security.php



Affected Products
=================

All releases of the IngrianOS.

Details
=======


Sshd, prior to version 3.71, contains buffer overflow bugs that
can allow an attacker to crash the program.

This vulnerability was announced in CERT advisory CA-2003-24
(http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2003-24.html)


Impact
======

An attacker could use this vulnerability to perform a denial-of-service
attack on an Ingrian device. Since the Ingrian watches and restarts
critical services, even if the vulnerability were exploited on an
Ingrian device, the period that service would be denied is short.
If attackers develop exploits that put the attacker's code on the
stack, it would be possible for them to obtain access to the
affected machines.

Ingrian is not aware of any exploits currently in the field.


Software Versions and Fixes
===========================


This vulnerability is fixed in these patches:

2.6.3p02
2.8.2p02
2.9.0p07

These patches are released as "untested" patches, meaning that they
have gone through an acceptance test but have not yet passed the
full QA cycle. Fully tested patches will be released shortly.
Please contact your Ingrian representative.


Obtaining A Fix
===============

Customers with service contracts should go through the regular
update channels to obtain the software upgrades identified in this
advisory. For most customers with service contracts, this means
that upgrades should be obtained through the Ingrian Support Center
at https://www.ingrian.com/suppport


Workarounds
===========

This vulnerability exists only when attackers can access the
ssh port, port 22. Disabling access to port 22 at the outer
firewall prevents the attack. See your firewall vendors'
documentation for details.

Another workaround is to disable SSH Administration.
To do this, select Maintenance, then Services. Click on
'SSH Administration' and then click the 'disable startup' button.
Then click 'Stop'.


Source
======

This vulnerability was reported in CERT announcement CA-2003-24.

CONECTIVA LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------

PACKAGE   : openssh
SUMMARY   : Remote vulnerabilities
DATE      : 2003-09-17 18:48:00
ID        : CLA-2003:741
RELEVANT
RELEASES  : 7.0, 8, 9

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------

DESCRIPTION
OpenSSH[1] is a very popular and versatile tool that uses encrypted
connections between hosts and is commonly used for remote
administration.


This update fixes new vulnerabilities found in the code that handles
buffers in OpenSSH. These vulnerabilities are similiar to the ones
fixed in the CLSA-2003:739 announcement[2] (CAN-2003-0693) and can be
exploited by a remote attacker to cause a denial of service condition
and potentially execute arbitrary code (although there is still no
concrete evidence of that).


The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
assigned the name CAN-2003-0695 to this additional issue[3].


The OpenSSH team released the version 3.7.1 which fixes this
vulnerability[4]. This update contains the versions originally
distributed with Conectiva Linux added of backported patches.


Additionally, patches made by Solar Designer to fix memory bugs in
other parts of the code are being added. Althought it is unlikely
that these bugs are exploitable, they are being treatead as security
fixes by now and have the name CAN-2003-0682 assigned[5] by The
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org).



SOLUTION
It is recommended that all OpenSSH users upgrade their packages.


The ssh service will be automatically restarted during the upgrade if
it is already running. Current ssh sessions will remain open during
the restart.

Nokia Affected

Notified:  September 16, 2003 Updated: September 18, 2003

Status

Affected

Vendor Statement

Nokia confirms that IPSO and IPSO-SX are affected by the vulnerability described in CERT Coordination Center Vulnerability Note VU#333628. We are currently backporting the patches provided by the OpenSSH team into the OpenSSH versions deployed within IPSO and IPSO-SX.

According to CERT/CC, the most likely impact of the vulnerability is the potential for a DoS attack if an exploit script is repeatedly executed against the same device. This potential can be eliminated by restricting access to SSH, allowing access only from trusted workstations by using either Access Control Lists (ACLs) or firewall rules to restrict access to TCP port 22.

To prevent automated scanners from successfully exploiting this vulnerability, ensure that the SSH server does not run on the default port of TCP 22 and is running on an alternate port, preferably above port 1024. In IPSO, this can be done by going to the "Security and Access Configuration" section in Voyager and selecting "SSH (Secure Shell)," then click on the "Go to the advanced server options page" link. From here, under the "Configure Server Protocol Details" heading, the TCP port number for the SSH service can be changed to a different value.

We expect to provide updated releases of IPSO and IPSO-SX the week of September 22, 2003.

________________________________________________________________________

Package:             openssh
Vulnerability:       arbitrary code execution
OpenPKG Specific:    no

Affected Releases:   Affected Packages:        Corrected Packages:
OpenPKG CURRENT      <= openssh-3.7p1-20030916 >= openssh-3.7.1p1-20030917
OpenPKG 1.3          <= openssh-3.6.1p2-1.3.1  >= openssh-3.6.1p2-1.3.2
OpenPKG 1.2          <= openssh-3.5p1-1.2.3    >= openssh-3.5p1-1.2.4

Dependent Packages:  none

Description:
According to an OpenSSH [1] Security Advisory [0], 2nd revision, all
versions of OpenSSH's sshd(8) prior to version 3.7.1 contain buffer
management errors. The discovery of additional similar errors by
Solar Designer show that version 3.7.1 is affected, too. Those errors
may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by causing an
incorrect amount of memory to be cleared and corrupting the heap on
fatal cleanups.


The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project assigned
the id CAN-2003-0693 [2] to the problem, as initially explained
in the 1st revision of the OpenSSH Security Advisory [0]. In the
current 2nd revision, similar problems were described and fixed, too.
Additionally, Solaris Designer found 4 more problematic instances
of similar memory management errors. The corrected OpenPKG packages
(see versions above) contain the collected bug fixes for all of those
errors.


Please check whether you are affected by running "<prefix>/bin/rpm -q
openssh". If you have the "openssh" package installed and its version
is affected (see above), we recommend that you immediately upgrade it
(see Solution). [3][4]


Notice that the previous package versions openssh-3.7p1-20030916,
openssh-3.6.1p2-1.3.1 and openssh-3.5p1-1.2.3 contain the bug fixes
from the OpenSSH Security Advisory [0], 1st revision, only. You are
strongly advised to upgrade to the latest package versions because of
the contained additional bug fixes.


Solution:
Select the updated source RPM appropriate for your OpenPKG release
[5][6], fetch it from the OpenPKG FTP service [7][8] or a mirror
location, verify its integrity [9], build a corresponding binary RPM
from it [3] and update your OpenPKG installation by applying the
binary RPM [4]. For the current release OpenPKG 1.3, perform the
following operations to permanently fix the security problem (for
other releases adjust accordingly).


$ ftp ftp.openpkg.org

Vendor Statement

The OpenSSH package in Openwall GNU/*/Linux did contain the buffer / memory management errors. As of 2003/09/17, we have included the fixes from OpenSSH 3.7.1 as well as 4 additional fixes to other such real or potential errors based on an exhaustive review of the OpenSSH source code for uses of *realloc() functions. At this time, it is uncertain whether and which of these bugs are exploitable. If exploits are possible, due to privilege separation, the worst direct impact should be limited to arbitrary code execution under the sshd pseudo-user account restricted within the chroot jail /var/empty, or under the logged in user account

1. Problem Description

Several buffer management errors and memory bugs are
corrected by this patch.


The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the following
names to these issues. CAN-2003-0693, CAN-2003-0695,
CAN-2003-0682, CAN-2003-0786.


The CERT Coordination Center has assigned the following
names VU#333628, and VU#602204.


CERT VU#333628 / CAN-2003-0693: A "buffer management error"
in buffer_append_space of buffer.c for OpenSSH before 3.7
may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by
causing an incorrect amount of memory to be freed and
corrupting the heap, a different vulnerability than
CAN-2003-0695


CAN-2003-0695: Multiple "buffer management errors" in
OpenSSH before 3.7.1 may allow attackers to cause a denial
of service or execute arbitrary code using (1) buffer_init
in buffer.c, (2) buffer_free in buffer.c, or (3) a separate
function in channels.c, a different vulnerability than
CAN-2003-0693.


CAN-2003-0682: "Memory bugs" in OpenSSH 3.7.1 and earlier,
with unknown impact, a different set of vulnerabilities
than CAN-2003-0693 and CAN-2003-0695.


CERT VU#602204 / CAN-2003-0786: Portable OpenSSH versions
3.7p1 and 3.7.1p1 contain multiple vulnerabilities in the
new PAM code. At least one of these bugs is remotely
exploitable (under a non-standard configuration, with
privsep disabled). OpenServer is not configured to use PAM,
so is not vulnerable.

______________________________________________________________________________

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

The openssh package is the most widely used implementation of the secure
shell protocol family (ssh). It provides a set of network connectivity
tools for remote (shell) login, designed to substitute the traditional
BSD-style r-protocols (rsh, rlogin). openssh has various authentification
mechanisms and many other features such as TCP connection and X11 display
forwarding over the fully encrypted network connection as well as file
transfer facilities.


This is a new release of SuSE Security Announcement (openssh),
ID SuSE-SA:2003:038. A set of new bugs were addressed by the openssh
development team. These bugs are fixed in the new 3.7.1 upstream release
of the openssh package; we have added the necessary changes to our
packages preserving the package version to avoid the risk of incompatible
behaviour of the software.


Specifics about the errors found:
(Topic for SuSE Security Announcement SuSE-SA:2003:038:)
A programming error has been found in code responsible for buffer
management. If exploited by a (remote) attacker, the error may lead to
unauthorized access to the system, allowing the execution of arbitrary
commands. The error is known as the buffer_append_space()-bug and is
assigned the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) name CAN-2003-0693.
The error was cause for the upstream release openssh-3.7.


(Topic for SuSE Security Announcement SuSE-SA:2003:039 (this announcement):)
Programming errors of a similar kind as described above have been found in
other portions of the code, with similar effects. These errors are known
as "buffer.c/channels.c bug", the CVE name for these errors is CAN-2003-0695.
This set of errors was cause for the upstream release openssh-3.7.1.
In addition to the fixes for the buffer.c/channels.c bugs we have added
some changes that have been assembled by Solar Designer during his review
of the source code. These fixes are considered a precautious measure and
are not believed to have a significant effect on the security of the
openssh code.


At the time of writing this announcement, we believe that at least one set
of errors as described above is exploitable by a remote attacker. As a
reminder,  at the time of writing the SuSE Security Announcement
SuSE-SA:2003:038 it was unclear if the bug addressed with the announcement
(buffer_append_space()-bug) is exploitable. An increasing amount of TCP
connection attempts to port 22 as observed in the internet during the
past days may indicate that there exists an exploit for the error in the
public.


Please note that we have disabled the Privilege Separation feature in
the ssh daemon (sshd) with this update. The PrivSep feature is designed
to have parts of the ssh daemon's work running under lowered privileges,
thereby limiting the effect of a possible vulnerability in the code. The
PrivSep feature is turned on/off by the UsePrivilegeSeparation keyword
in sshd's configuration file /etc/ssh/sshd_config. The feature is held
responsible for malfunctions in PAM (Pluggable Authentification Modules).
The update mechanism will not overwrite configuration files that have
been altered after the package installation.




SPECIAL INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:
==============================
After the update has been successfully applied, the ssh daemon (sshd)

2)  Pending vulnerabilities in SuSE Distributions and Workarounds:

- A buffer overflow vulnerability has been found in the mysql package,
an Open Source relational database system. The error may allow a remote
attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the database
process.
We are in the process of building and testing the update packages and
will release them with a SuSE Security Announcement as soon as possible.


______________________________________________________________________________

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 .

Package description:

OpenSSH is OpenBSD's rework of the last free version of SSH, bringing it
up to date in terms of security and features, as well as removing all
patented algorithms to seperate libraries (OpenSSL).



Problem description:
Taken from the announcement of openssh 3.7.1:


All versions of OpenSSH's sshd prior to 3.7.1 contain buffer management
errors.  It is uncertain whether these errors are potentially exploitable,
however, we prefer to see bugs fixed proactively.


OpenSSH 3.7 fixed one of these bugs.

OpenSSH 3.7.1 fixes more similar bugs.

The TSL team has choosen to backport these fixes into the various versions
of openssh packaged in TSL.


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.
