Overview
There is a bug in the zlib compression library that may manifest itself as a vulnerability in programs that are linked with zlib. This may allow an attacker to conduct a denial-of-service attack, gather information, or execute arbitrary code.
It is important to note that the CERT/CC has not received any reports of exploitation of this bug. Based on the information available to us at this time, it is difficult to determine whether this bug can be successfully exploited. However, given the widespread deployment of zlib, we have published this document as a proactive measure.
Description
There is a bug in the decompression algorithm used by the popular zlib compression library. If an attacker is able to pass a specially-crafted block of invalid compressed data to a program that includes zlib, the program's attempt to decompress the crafted data can cause the zlib routines to corrupt the internal data structures maintained by malloc. |
Impact
This bug may introduce vulnerabilities into any program that includes the affected library. Depending upon how and where the zlib routines are called from the given program, the resulting vulnerability may have one or more of the following impacts: denial of service, information leakage, or execution of arbitrary code. |
Solution
Upgrade your version of zlib |

OpenSSH Affected
Notified: February 23, 2002 Updated: June 24, 2002
Status
Affected
Vendor Statement
OpenSSH itself relies on zlib as a third party library. OpenSSH's internal malloc state might get corrupted if the double-free bug is present in zlib. At this moment, it is not known if this bug will allow an intruder to gain privileges.
For some malloc implementation it is possible to detect and ignore the double-free. However, that is entirely dependent on the malloc implementation. Currently, it seems that *BSD operating systems might not be affected by this problem.
We advise everybody to upgrade their third party libraries and recompile OpenSSH if necessary. Turning off compression in the server is possible only by removing zlib from myproposal.h and subsequent recompliation.

Openwall GNU/*/Linux Affected
Notified: February 14, 2002 Updated: March 12, 2002
Status
Affected
Vendor Statement
All versions of Openwall GNU/*/Linux (Owl) prior to the 2002/02/15 Owl-current snapshot are affected by the zlib double-free vulnerability. Owl-current after 2002/02/15 includes the proper fixes in its userland packages. In order to not place the users of other vendors' products at additional risk, we have agreed to delay documenting this as a security change and including the fixes in Owl 0.1-stable until there's a coordinated public announcement. While we don't normally support this kind of a policy (releasing a fix before there's an announcement), this time handling the vulnerability in this way was consistent with the state of things by the time the (already publicly known) bug was first realized to be a security vulnerability.
The zlib bug could affect the following Owl packages: gnupg, openssh, rpm, texinfo (not necessarily in a security sense). Of these, the OpenSSH could potentially allow for an active remote attack resulting in a root compromise. If only SSH protocol version 1 is allowed in the OpenSSH server this is reduced to a local attack, but reverse remote attack possibilities by a malicious server remain. Additionally, any third-party software that makes use of the provided zlib library could be affected.
Parts of the Linux 2.2 kernel included in Owl were also affected by the vulnerability. Fortunately, those parts (Deflate compression support for PPP and the experimental Deflate compression extension to IrDA) are normally not used by the Owl userland. The bug has been corrected starting with Linux 2.2.20-ow2 which has been made public and a part of both Owl-current and Owl 0.1-stable on 2002/03/03. This change, however, will only be documented in the publicly-available change logs on the coordinated public announcement date.

The vendor has not provided us with any further information regarding this vulnerability.

Red Hat Inc. Affected
Notified: February 07, 2002 Updated: March 14, 2002
Status
Affected
Vendor Statement
Red Hat Linux ships with a zlib library that is vulnerable to this issue. Although most packages in Red Hat Linux use the shared zlib library we have identified a number of packages that either statically link to zlib or contain an internal version of the zlib code.

SGI Security Advisory
Title: X Windows zlib/MIT-SHM/huge font DoS vulnerabilities
Number: 20021001-01-P
Date: October 15, 2002
References: CVE CAN-2002-164
References: CVE CVE-2002-0059
References: CERT CA-2002-07
______________________________________________________________________________
- -----------------------
- --- Issue Specifics ---
- -----------------------
This bulletin covers several graphics-related security issues:
o It's been reported that the zlib libraries that ship with x_eoe
have a "double free" vulnerability.
See: http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/368819
o It's been reported that the IRIX X server has security vulnerabilities.
1) Under certain conditions, Mozilla can cause the X server to crash.
See: http://web.lemuria.org/security/mozilla-dos.html for details.
2) There is a vulnerability in the MIT-SHM code that can allow a local
user to read or write to any SHM segment.
See: http://www.linuxsecurity.com/advisories/caldera_advisory-2006.html
SGI has investigated the issue and recommends the following steps for
neutralizing the exposure. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that these measures be
implemented on ALL vulnerable SGI systems.
These issues have been corrected in future releases of IRIX and with patches.
- --------------
- --- Impact ---
- --------------
The X server (/usr/bin/X11/Xsgi) is installed by default on IRIX 6.5 systems
as part of x_eoe.sw.Server.
To determine the version of IRIX you are running, execute the following
command:
# uname -R
That will return a result similar to the following:
# 6.5 6.5.16f
The first number ("6.5") is the release name, the second ("6.5.15f" in this
case) is the extended release name. The extended release name is the
"version" we refer to throughout this document.
Exploitation of these vulnerabilities can result in a root compromise or a
Denial of Service attack. A local account is required to exploit these
vulnerabilities.
- ----------------------------
- --- Temporary Workaround ---
- ----------------------------
There is no good workaround available for these problems if running in
graphical mode is desired. SGI recommends either upgrading to IRIX 6.5.18
when it is released, or installing the appropriate patch from the listing
below.
If running in graphical mode is not needed, you can execute the command
"/usr/gfx/stopgfx" and it will turn the windowsystem configuration flag off,
kill the X server, and keep it from being restarted on next boot.
- ----------------
- --- Solution ---
- ----------------
SGI has provided a series of patches for these vulnerabilities. Our
recommendation is to upgrade to IRIX 6.5.18 when available, or install the
appropriate patch.

SGI Security Advisory
Title : Java Security Fixes
Number : 20030303-01-I
Date : March 19, 2003
Reference: CERT CA-2002-07
Reference: CERT VU#368819
Reference: CVE CAN-2002-0059
Reference: SGI BUGS 875825 875826 874656 868744
Fixed in : Java2 v1.4.1 APIs.
______________________________________________________________________________
- -----------------------
- --- Issue Specifics ---
- -----------------------
It's been reported that there are multiple vulnerabilities in Java:
o A defect in the Java(TM) Virtual Machine may allow illegal
access to protected fields or methods of an object:
http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/retrieve.pl?doc=fsalert%2F50083
o The Java(TM) Secure Socket Extension (JSSE) may incorrectly validate
the digital certificate of a web site:
http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/retrieve.pl?doc=fsalert%2F50081
o The Java Plug-in may incorrectly validate the digital certificates of
signed JAR files:
http://online.securityfocus.com/archive/1/300767
http://lsd-pl.net/java_security.html
o A defect in the Bytecode Verifier may allow new instances of objects
to be created without calling the proper initialization method from
within the constructor of the created class:
http://sunsolve.Sun.COM/pub-cgi/retrieve.pl?doc=fsalert%2F49304
o CERT has reported a bug in the zlib compression library:
http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2002-07.html
http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/retrieve.pl?&doc=secbull/220
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2002-0059
SGI's implementations of the Java(TM) Runtime Environment include zlib
and are affected. This bug may allow malicious code to corrupt memory
and possibly crash the Java Runtime Environment.
SGI has investigated the issues and recommends the following steps for
neutralizing the exposure. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that these measures be
implemented on ALL vulnerable SGI systems.
These issues have been corrected in SGI's release of the Java2 v1.4.1 APIs.

That will return a result similar to the following:
# 6.5 6.5.19f
The first number ("6.5") is the release name, the second ("6.5.16f" in this

XFree86 Affected
Notified: March 05, 2002 Updated: March 11, 2002
Status
Affected
Vendor Statement
XFree86 versions 4.0 through 4.2.0 include zlib version 1.0.8. XFree86 3.x includes zlib version 1.0.4. The zlib code included with XFree86 is only used on some platforms. This is determined by the setting of HasZlib in the imake config files in the xc/config/cf source directory. If HasZlib is set to YES in the platform's vendor.cf file(s), then the system-provided zlib is used instead of the XFree86-provided version. XFree86 uses the system-provided zlib by default only on the following platforms:
FreeBSD 2.2 and later
NetBSD 1.2.2 and later
OpenBSD
Darwin
Debian Linux
The zlib code in XFree86 has been fixed in the CVS repository (trunk and the xf-4_2-branch branch) as of 14 February 2002. A source patch for XFree86 4.2.0 will be available from .
The following XFree86 4.2.0 binary distributions provided by XFree86 include and use a vulnerable version of zlib:
- Linux-alpha-glibc22
Linux-ix86-glibc22
To check if an installation of XFree86 includes zlib, see if the following file exists:
- /usr/X11R6/lib/libz.a
Various vendors repackage and distribute XFree86, and may use settings and configurations different from those described here.
