Cyber Security Bulletin SB05-089archive

Summary of Security Items from March 23 through March 29, 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 vulnerabilities that appeared 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.


Vulnerabilities

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.

Two vulnerabilities were reported in the AutoProtect feature that could let a malicious user create a file or modify a filename to cause a Denial of Service. A user can create a special file of a specific file type that when scanned by the AutoProtect feature will cause a Denial of Service. Also, if a certain type of shared file has its filename modified, the SmartScan analysis of the filename modification may cause a Denial of Service.

A fix is available via LiveUpdate.

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:

Linux Kernel versions except 2.6.9

The Linux Kernel is prone to a local vulnerability in the terminal subsystem. Reportedly, this issue can be triggered by issuing a TIOCSETD ioctl to a terminal interface at the moment a read or write operation is being performed by another thread. This could result in a Denial of Service or allow kernel memory to be read.

This issue has been addressed in version 2.6.9 of the Linux Kernel. Patches are also available for 2.4.x releases:

Two vulnerabilities exist: a vulnerability exists due to an error in 'ALTER TABLE ... RENAME' operations because the 'CREATE/INSERT' rights of old tables are checked, which potentially could let a remote malicious user bypass security restrictions; and a remote Denial of Service vulnerability exists when multiple threads issue 'alter' commands against 'merge' tables to modify the 'union.'
