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

PACKAGE   : kernel
SUMMARY   : Fixes for kernel vulnerabilities
DATE      : 2004-06-22 10:12:00
ID        : CLA-2004:845
RELEVANT
RELEASES  : 8, 9

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

DESCRIPTION
The Linux kernel is responsible for handling the basic functions of
the GNU/Linux operating system.

This announcement fixes the following vulnerabilities:

1. Local denial of service vulnerability (CAN-2004-0554[1])

Stian Skjelstad found[2] a vulnerability[1] in the fpu controller
code that can be used by local attackers to cause a denial of service
(DoS) on the system.

2. Local memory disclosure vulnerability (CAN-2004-0535[3])

Chris Wright found a vulnerability[3] in the Intel(R) PRO/1000
ethernet card driver that could allow a local attacker to read some
bytes of kernel memory.

3. Sparse vulnerabilities (CAN-2004-0495[4])  

Al Viro, by using Sparse[5] (a code inspection tool), found several
vulnerabilities which, in the worst case, might allow local attackers
to obtain root privileges.


SOLUTION
It is recommended that all Conectiva Linux users upgrade the kernel
package.

IMPORTANT: exercise caution and preparation when upgrading the
kernel, since it will require a reboot after the new packages are
installed. In particular, Conectiva Linux 9 will most likely require
an initrd file (which is automatically created in the /boot directory
after the new packages are installed). Generic kernel update
instructions can be obtained in the manuals and in our updates
page[6]. More detailed instructions are also available in Portuguese
at our Moin[7] page.

Package name:           kernel
Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2004:062
Date:                   June 23rd, 2004

Affected versions: 10.0, 9.1, 9.2, Corporate Server 2.1,
Multi Network Firewall 8.2
______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

A vulnerability in the e1000 driver for the Linux kernel 2.4.26 and
earlier was discovered by Chris Wright.  The e1000 driver does not
properly reset memory or restrict the maximum length of a data
structure, which can allow a local user to read portions of kernel
memory (CAN-2004-0535).

A vulnerability was also discovered in the kernel were a certain C
program would trigger a floating point exception that would crash the
kernel.  This vulnerability can only be triggered locally by users with
shell access (CAN-2004-0554).

Red Hat Security Advisory

Synopsis: Updated kernel packages fix security vulnerabilities
Advisory ID: RHSA-2004:255-01
Issue date: 2004-06-17
Updated on: 2004-06-17
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Keywords:
Cross references:
Obsoletes: RHSA-2004:188
CVE Names: CAN-2004-0427 CAN-2004-0495 CAN-2004-0554
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Topic:

Updated kernel packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 that fix security
vulnerabilities are now available.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 3 - athlon, i386, i686, ia32e, ia64, ppc64, ppc64iseries, ppc64pseries, s390, s390x, x86_64
Red Hat Desktop version 3 - athlon, i386, i686, ia32e, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 3 - athlon, i386, i686, ia32e, ia64, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 3 - athlon, i386, i686, ia32e, ia64, x86_64

3. Problem description:

The Linux kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system.

A flaw was found in Linux kernel versions 2.4 and 2.6 for x86 and x86_64
that allowed local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) by
triggering a signal handler with a certain sequence of fsave and frstor
instructions. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0554 to this issue.

Another flaw was discovered in an error path supporting the clone()
system call that allowed local users to cause a denial of service
(memory leak) by passing invalid arguments to clone() running in an
infinite loop of a user's program. The Common Vulnerabilities and
Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0427
to this issue.

Enhancements were committed to the 2.6 kernel by Al Viro which enabled the
Sparse source code checking tool to check for a certain class of kernel
bugs. A subset of these fixes also applies to various drivers in the 2.4
kernel. Although the majority of these resides in drivers unsupported in
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, the flaws could lead to privilege escalation or
access to kernel memory. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0495 to these issues.

All Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 users are advised to upgrade their kernels
to the packages associated with their machine architectures and
configurations as listed in this erratum. These packages contain
backported patches to correct these issues.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filenames]

where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are
not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you
can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the
desired RPMs.

Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

up2date

This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.

If up2date fails to connect to Red Hat Network due to SSL
Certificate Errors, you need to install a version of the
up2date client with an updated certificate. The latest version of
up2date is available from the Red Hat FTP site and may also be
downloaded directly from the RHN website:

https://rhn.redhat.com/help/latest-up2date.pxt

5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla for more info):

125794 - CAN-2004-0554 local user can get the kernel to hang
125901 - [PATCH] CAN-2004-0554: FPU exception handling local DoS
125968 - last RH kernel affected bug
126121 - CAN-2004-0495 Sparse security fixes backported for 2.4 kernel

Installation instructions:
+------------------------+

Use upgradepkg to install the new packages.
After installing the kernel-ide package you will need to run lilo ('lilo'
at a command prompt) or create a new system boot disk ('makebootdisk'), and
reboot.

If desired, a kernel from the kernels/ directory may be used instead.  For
example, to use the kernel in kernels/scsi.s/, you would copy it to the
boot directory like this:

cd kernels/scsi.s
cp bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-scsi.s-2.4.26

Create a symbolic link:
ln -sf /boot/vmlinuz-scsi.s-2.4.26 /boot/vmlinuz

Then, run 'lilo' or create a new system boot disk and reboot.

______________________________________________________________________________

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

   The Linux kernel is vulnerable to a local denial-of-service attack.
   By using a C program it is possible to trigger a floating point
   exception that puts the kernel into an unusable state.
   To execute this attack a malicious user needs shell access to the
   victim's machine.
   The severity of this bug is considered low because local denial-of-
   service attacks are hard to prevent in general.
   Additionally the bug is limited to x86 and x86_64 architecture.



   SPECIAL INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:
   ==============================
   The following paragraphs will guide you through the installation
   process in a step-by-step fashion. The character sequence "****"
   marks the beginning of a new paragraph. In some cases, the steps
   outlined in a particular paragraph may or may not be applicable
   to your situation.
   Therefore, please make sure to read through all of the steps below
   before attempting any of these procedures.
   All of the commands that need to be executed are required to be
   run as the superuser (root). Each step relies on the steps before
   it to complete successfully.
   Note: The update packages for the SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 7
   (SLES7) are being tested at the moment and will be published as soon
   as possible.


 **** Step 1: Determine the needed kernel type

   Please use the following command to find the kernel type that is
   installed on your system:

     rpm -qf /boot/vmlinuz

   Following are the possible kernel types (disregard the version and
   build number following the name separated by the "-" character)

     k_deflt   # default kernel, good for most systems.
     k_i386    # kernel for older processors and chipsets
     k_athlon  # kernel made specifically for AMD Athlon(tm) family processors
     k_psmp    # kernel for Pentium-I dual processor systems
     k_smp     # kernel for SMP systems (Pentium-II and above)
     k_smp4G   # kernel for SMP systems which supports a maximum of 4G of RAM
     kernel-64k-pagesize
     kernel-bigsmp
     kernel-default
     kernel-smp

 **** Step 2: Download the package for your system

   Please download the kernel RPM package for your distribution with the
   name as indicated by Step 1. The list of all kernel rpm packages is
   appended below. Note: The kernel-source package does not
   contain a binary kernel in bootable form. Instead, it contains the
   sources that the binary kernel rpm packages are created from. It can be
   used by administrators who have decided to build their own kernel.
   Since the kernel-source.rpm is an installable (compiled) package that
   contains sources for the linux kernel, it is not the source RPM for
   the kernel RPM binary packages.

   The kernel RPM binary packages for the distributions can be found at the
   locations below ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/.

     8.0/images/
     8.1/rpm/i586
     8.2/rpm/i586
     9.0/rpm/i586
     9.1/rpm/i586

   After downloading the kernel RPM package for your system, you should
   verify the authenticity of the kernel rpm package using the methods as
   listed in section 3) of each SUSE Security Announcement.


 **** Step 3: Installing your kernel rpm package

   Install the rpm package that you have downloaded in Steps 3 or 4 with
   the command
       rpm -Uhv --nodeps --force <K_FILE.RPM>
   where <K_FILE.RPM> is the name of the rpm package that you downloaded.

   Warning: After performing this step, your system will likely not be
            able to boot if the following steps have not been fully
            followed.


   If you run SUSE LINUX 8.1 and haven't applied the kernel update
   (SUSE-SA:2003:034), AND you are using the freeswan package, you also
   need to update the freeswan rpm as a dependency as offered
   by YOU (YaST Online Update). The package can be downloaded from
   ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.1/rpm/i586/

 **** Step 4: configuring and creating the initrd

   The initrd is a ramdisk that is loaded into the memory of your
   system together with the kernel boot image by the bootloader. The
   kernel uses the content of this ramdisk to execute commands that must
   be run before the kernel can mount its actual root filesystem. It is
   usually used to initialize SCSI drivers or NIC drivers for diskless
   operation.

   The variable INITRD_MODULES in /etc/sysconfig/kernel determines
   which kernel modules will be loaded in the initrd before the kernel
   has mounted its actual root filesystem. The variable should contain
   your SCSI adapter (if any) or filesystem driver modules.

   With the installation of the new kernel, the initrd has to be
   re-packed with the update kernel modules. Please run the command

     mk_initrd

   as root to create a new init ramdisk (initrd) for your system.
   On SuSE Linux 8.1 and later, this is done automatically when the
   RPM is installed.


 **** Step 5: bootloader

   If you run a SUSE LINUX 8.x, SLES8, or SUSE LINUX 9.x system, there
   are two options:
   Depending on your software configuration, you have either the lilo
   bootloader or the grub bootloader installed and initialized on your
   system.
   The grub bootloader does not require any further actions to be
   performed after the new kernel images have been moved in place by the
   rpm Update command.
   If you have a lilo bootloader installed and initialized, then the lilo
   program must be run as root. Use the command

     grep LOADER_TYPE /etc/sysconfig/bootloader

   to find out which boot loader is configured. If it is lilo, then you
   must run the lilo command as root. If grub is listed, then your system
   does not require any bootloader initialization.

   Warning: An improperly installed bootloader may render your system
            unbootable.

 **** Step 6: reboot

   If all of the steps above have been successfully completed on your
   system, then the new kernel including the kernel modules and the
   initrd should be ready to boot. The system needs to be rebooted for
   the changes to become active. Please make sure that all steps have
   completed, then reboot using the command
       shutdown -r now
   or
       init 6

   Your system should now shut down and reboot with the new kernel.


   There is no workaround known.


   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:

   - icecast
   The icecast service is vulnerable to a remote denial-of-service
   attack. Update packages will be available soon.

   - sitecopy
   The sitecopy package includes a vulnerable version of the
   neon library (CAN-2004-0179, CAN-2004-0398). Update packages will be
   available soon.

   - cadaver
   The cadaver package includes a vulnerable version of the
   neon library (CAN-2004-0179, CAN-2004-0398). Update packages will be
   available soon.

   - OpenOffice_org
   The OpenOffice_org package includes a vulnerable version
   of the neon library (CAN-2004-0179, CAN-2004-0398). Update packages
   will be available soon.

   - tripwire
   A format string bug in tripwire can be exploited locally
   to gain root permissions. Update packages will be available soon.

    - postgresql
   A buffer overflow in psqlODBC could be exploited to crash the
   application using it. E.g. a PHP script that uses ODBC to access a
   PostgreSQL database can be utilized to crash the surrounding Apache
   web-server. Other parts of PostgreSQL are not affected.
   Update packages will be available soon.

   - lha
   Minor security fix for a buffer overflow while handling command
   line options. This buffer overflow could be exploited in conjunction
   with other mechanisms to gain higher privileges or access the system
   remotely.

   - XDM/XFree86
   This update resolves random listening to ports by XDM
   that allows to connect via the XDMCP. SUSE LINUX 9.1
   is affected only.
   New packages are currently being tested and will be
   available soon.

   - mod_proxy
   A buffer overflow can be triggered by malicious remote
   servers that return a negative Content-Length value.
   This vulnerability can be used to execute commands remotely
   New packages are currently being tested and will be
   available soon.

3)  standard appendix: authenticity verification, additional information

 - Package authenticity verification:

   SUSE update packages are available on many mirror ftp servers around
   the world. While this service is considered valuable and important
   to the free and open source software community, many users wish to be
   certain as to be the origin of the package and its content before
   installing the package. There are two independent verification methods
   that can be used 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 have 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 offer proof of the authenticity
      of the package.
      We recommend against subscribing 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:
 The kernel package contains the Linux kernel (vmlinuz), the core of your
 Trustix Secure Linux operating system.  The kernel handles the basic
 functions of the operating system:  memory allocation, process allocation,
 device input and output, etc.

Problem description:
 A flaw was by accident discovered by Stian Skjelstad when he was doing
 some code tests during vacation. He was quite surprised when I discovered
 that the code he was trying froze his machine. He reported it to the
 Linux-kernel mailing list and the gcc bugzilla 2004-06-09.

 See CAN-2004-0554 at http://cve.mitre.org/ for more information.
