-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 UPDATE: (SSRTM541)Tru64 UNIX CDE, NFS and NIS related Potential Security Vulnerabilities Posted at http://ftp.support.compaq.com/patches/.new/security.shtml NOTICE: There are no restrictions for distribution of this Bulletin provided that it remains complete and intact. RELEASE DATE: 17 April, 2002 (SSRT-541) LAST UPDATED: 22 May, 2002 (SSRTM541) New Patches SEVERITY: 1 SOURCE: Compaq Computer Corporation Compaq Services Software Security Response Team REFERENCE: [security bulletin posted 17 April, 2002] (SSRT-541) Tru64 UNIX CDE, NFS and NIS related Potential Security Vulnerabilities PROBLEM SUMMARY: A number of potential security vulnerabilities in Tru64 UNIX V4.0F, V4.0G, V5.0A, V5.1 and V5.1A, have recently been reported for CDE, libc, and NFS where, under certain circumstances, system integrity may be compromised by a malicious user. o CDE (severity high) o dtaction potential buffer overflow (SSRT0752U) o ttsession potential buffer overflow (SSRT0753U) o dtprintinfo potential buffer overflow (SSRT0757U, SSRT0788U) o dtspcd potential buffer overflow. (SSRT0782U) NOTE: cross-reference : (CVE CVE-2001-0803,CERT CA-2001-31, CA-2002-01) Compaq has not been able to reproduce the problem identified in the CERT advisory for any Compaq OS. However with the information available, we are including a code change for dtspcd that will further reduce any potential buffer overflow vulnerability. o Buffer overflow attacks are commonly used to attempt to subvert the function of a privileged program and possibly execute commands at the elevated privileges if the program file has the setuid privilege. o Environment Variable LANG and LOCPATH (severity high) o libc (SSRT0771U) A libc environment variable corruption with LANG and LOCPATH , may cause a potential buffer overflow o NIS Network Information Service (severity moderate) o ypbind may core during nmap portscan (SSRT0781U) o Core: A file that is a copy of the contents of a processes memory, that can be produced when that process is aborted by certain kinds of internal error. o NFS Network File System (severity moderate) o NFS Potential packet flood denial of service (DoS) (SSRT1-26) NOTE: Applies to V4.0g PK3 (BL17) & V5.0a PK3 (BL17) only A remote user with malicious intent may cause a potential denial of service (DoS) with portmap server. o Network DoS attacks make computer systems inaccessible by flooding a service, server or network with useless traffic. VERSIONS IMPACTED: TRU64 UNIX Versions Impacted V5.1A PK1 (BL1) V5.1 PK4 (BL18) V5.0A PK3 (BL17) V4.0F PK7 (BL18) V4.0G PK3 (BL17) RESOLUTION: The potential vulnerabilities noted below have been corrected and newly released patches are now available for TRU64 UNIX. Compaq strongly recommends that systems be updated to at least the prerequisite version of TRU64 UNIX and PK release, then install the previously released security patches identified in the security bulletin http://ftp.support.compaq.com/patches/.new/html/SSRT0742U-59U.shtml prior to installing the following ERP (Early Release Patch). UPDATE: 5/22/2002 Updated ERPs are now available for all supported versions of Tru64 UNIX and will be available in the next aggregate patch kits for each supported product version. Until these Tru64 UNIX fixes are available in mainstream patch kits, Compaq recommends use of the following ERP kits: NOTE: Please review the README file(s) for each patch prior to installation. The Early Release Patch kits use dupatch to install and will not install over any installed Customer-Specific-Patches (CSPs) which have file intersections with the ERPs. Contact your normal support channel for assistance if the installation of the ERPs are blocked by any of your installed CSPs.

Sun makes no warranties of any kind whatsoever with respect to the information contained in this Security Bulletin. ALL EXPRESS OR IMPLIED CONDITIONS, REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF NON-INFRINGEMENT OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED AND EXCLUDED TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW. IN NO EVENT WILL SUN MICROSYSTEMS, INC. BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST REVENUE, PROFIT OR DATA, OR FOR DIRECT, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES HOWEVER CAUSED AND REGARDLESS OF ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS SECURITY BULLETIN, EVEN IF SUN MICROSYSTEMS, INC. HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. If any of the above provisions are held to be in violation of applicable law, void, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then such provisions are waived to the extent necessary for this disclaimer to be otherwise enforceable in such jurisdiction. 1. Bulletins Topics Sun announces the release of patches for Solaris(tm) 8, 7, 2.6, and 2.5.1 (SunOS(tm) 5.8, 5.7, 5.6, and 5.5.1) which relate to a buffer overflow in dtspcd. Sun recommends that you install the patches listed in section 4 immediately on systems running the CDE Subprocess control service, dtspcd, on SunOS 5.8, 5.7, 5.6, and 5.5.1. 2. Who is Affected Vulnerable:SunOS 5.8, 5.8_x86, 5.7, 5.7_x86, 5.6, 5.6_x86, 5.5.1, and 5.5.1_x86 3. Understanding the Vulnerability The CDE Subprocess Control Service (dtspcd) daemon accepts requests from CDE clients to execute commands and launch applications on the local system running the dtspcd daemon. The dtspcd daemon is spawned by the inetd daemon (see inetd(1M)) in response to a CDE client request. dtspcd is normally configured to run on port 6112/tcp with root privileges. A buffer overflow has been discovered in dtspcd which may be exploited by a local or a remote attacker to gain root access on the affected system. Any system that does not run the CDE Subprocess Control service, dtspcd, is not vulnerable to this problem. This issue was discovered by ISS X-Force who published an advisory at: http://xforce.iss.net/alerts/advise101.php CERT Advisory CA-2001-31 is available from: http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2001-31.html 4.
