Cyber Security Bulletin SB05-061archive

Summary of Security Items from February 23 through March 1, 2005

Information in the US-CERT Cyber Security Bulletin is a compilation and includes information published by outside sources, so the information should not be considered the result of US-CERT analysis. Software vulnerabilities are categorized in the appropriate section reflecting the operating system on which the vulnerability was reported; however, this does not mean that the vulnerability only affects the operating system reported since this information is obtained from open-source information.

This bulletin provides a summary of new or updated vulnerabilities, exploits, trends, viruses, and trojans. Updates to items appearing in previous bulletins are listed in bold text. The text in the Risk column appears in red for vulnerabilities ranking High. The risks levels applied to vulnerabilities in the Cyber Security Bulletin are based on how the "system" may be impacted. The Recent Exploit/Technique table contains a "Workaround or Patch Available" column that indicates whether a workaround or patch has been published for the vulnerability which the script exploits.


Bugs, Holes, & Patches

The table below summarizes vulnerabilities that have been identified, even if they are not being exploited. Complete details about patches or workarounds are available from the source of the information or from the URL provided in the section. CVE numbers are listed where applicable. Vulnerabilities that affect both Windows and Unix Operating Systems are included in the Multiple Operating Systems section.

Note: All the information included in the following tables has been discussed in newsgroups and on web sites.

The Risk levels defined below are based on how the system may be impacted:

  • High - A high-risk vulnerability is defined as one that will allow an intruder to immediately gain privileged access (e.g., sysadmin or root) to the system or allow an intruder to execute code or alter arbitrary system files. An example of a high-risk vulnerability is one that allows an unauthorized user to send a sequence of instructions to a machine and the machine responds with a command prompt with administrator privileges.
  • Medium - A medium-risk vulnerability is defined as one that will allow an intruder immediate access to a system with less than privileged access. Such vulnerability will allow the intruder the opportunity to continue the attempt to gain privileged access. An example of medium-risk vulnerability is a server configuration error that allows an intruder to capture the password file.
  • Low - A low-risk vulnerability is defined as one that will provide information to an intruder that could lead to further compromise attempts or a Denial of Service (DoS) attack. It should be noted that while the DoS attack is deemed low from a threat potential, the frequency of this type of attack is very high. DoS attacks against mission-critical nodes are not included in this rating and any attack of this nature should instead be considered to be a "High" threat.

HP-UX 11.x

A vulnerability exists in HP-UX, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the debug logging routine of ftpd. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted, overly long command request. Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code, but requires that the FTP daemon is configured to log debug information (not default setting).

A vulnerability was reported in NASM. A remote malicious user can cause arbitrary code to be executed by the target user. A remote user can create a specially crafted asm file that, when processed by the target user with NASM, will execute arbitrary code on the target user's system. The code will run with the privileges of the target user. The buffer overflow resides in the error() function in 'preproc.c.'

Two vulnerabilities exist in the Linux Kernel, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) or potentially gain escalated privileges. 1) A boundary error exists in the system call handling in the 32bit system call emulation on AMD64 / Intel EM64T systems. 2) An unspecified error within the memory management handling of ELF executables in "load_elf_binary" can be exploited to crash the system via a specially crafted ELF binary (this issue only affects Kernel versions prior to 2.4.26).

Issue 2 has been fixed in Kernel version 2.4.26 and later.

Some potential vulnerabilities exist with an unknown impact in the Linux Kernel. The vulnerabilities are caused due to boundary errors within the 'sys32_ni_syscall()' and 'sys32_vm86_warning()' functions and can be exploited to cause buffer overflows. Immediate consequences of exploitation of this vulnerability could be a kernel panic. It is not currently known whether this vulnerability may be leveraged to provide for execution of arbitrary code.

Linux Kernel versions except 2.6.9

A race condition vulnerability exists in the Linux Kernel terminal subsystem. This issue is related to terminal locking and is exposed when a remote malicious user connects to the computer through a PPP dialup port. When the remote user issues the switch from console to PPP, there is a small window of opportunity to send data that will trigger the vulnerability. This may cause a Denial of Service.

This issue has been addressed in version 2.6.9 of the Linux Kernel. Patches are also available for 2.4.x releases: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/
