Tue May 25 16:30:49 CST 2004, fede2 patches/packages/cvs-1.11.16-sparc-1.tgz: Upgraded to cvs-1.11.16. From the NEWS file: A potential buffer overflow vulnerability in the server has been fixed. Prior to this patch, a malicious client could potentially use carefully crafted server requests to run arbitrary programs on the CVS server machine. For more details, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0396 (* Security fix *) ----------------------------------- Tue May 25 10:18:50 CST 2004, fede2 patches/packages/apache-1.3.29-sparc-2.tgz: Patched four security issues in the Apache web server as noted on http://httpd.apache.org. These security fixes were backported from Apache 1.3.31: In mod_digest, verify whether the nonce returned in the client response is one we issued ourselves. This problem does not affect mod_auth_digest. (CAN-2003-0987) Escape arbitrary data before writing into the errorlog. (CAN-2003-0020) Fix starvation issue on listening sockets where a short-lived connection on a rarely-accessed listening socket will cause a child to hold the accept mutex and block out new connections until another connection arrives on that rarely-accessed listening socket. (CAN-2004-0174) Fix parsing of Allow/Deny rules using IP addresses without a netmask; issue is only known to affect big-endian 64-bit platforms (CAN-2003-0993) For more details, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2003-0987 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2003-0020 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0174 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2003-0993 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/bin-8.5.0-sparc-2.tgz: Fixed buffer overflows and directory traversal vulnerabilities in the 'lha' archive utility. Sites using 'lha' should upgrade to the new bin package right away. For more details, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0234 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0235 (* Security fix *) Upgraded to dosfstools-2.10. patches/packages/libpng-1.2.5-sparc-2.tgz: Patched a problem where libpng may access memory that is out of bounds when creating an error message, possibly crashing libpng and creating a denial of service. For more details, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0421 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/rsync-2.6.2-sparc-1.tgz: Upgraded to rsync-2.6.2. Rsync before 2.6.1 does not properly sanitize paths when running a read/write daemon without using chroot, allowing remote attackers to write files outside of the module's path. For more details, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0426 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/sysklogd-1.4.1-sparc-9.tgz: Patched a bug which could allow a user to cause syslogd to write to unallocated memory and crash. Thanks to Steve Grubb for finding the bug, and Solar Designer for refining the patch. (* Security fix *) Patches/packages/tcpdump-3.8.2-sparc-1.tgz: Upgraded to tcpdump-3.8.2 and libpcap-0.8.2. Fixes denial-of-service security issues. For more details, see: http://www.rapid7.com/advisories/R7-0017.html http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0183 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0184 (* Security fix *) ----------------------------------- Thu Mar 18 17:14:25 CST 2004, fede2 patches/packages/openssl-0.9.7d-sparc-1.tgz: Upgraded to openssl-0.9.7d. patches/packages/openssl-solibs-0.9.7d-sparc-1.tgz: Upgraded to openssl-0.9.7d. This fixes two potential denial-of-service issues in earlier versions of OpenSSL. For more details, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0079 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0112 (* Security fix *) NOTE: This packages have been compiled for v9 processors (because my ss20 seems to be on vacation). I'll upload packages for older processors ASAP. ----------------------------------- Thu Feb 19 21:00:50 CST 2004, fede2 patches/packages/apache-1.3.29-sparc-1.tgz: Upgraded to apache-1.3.29. This fixes the following local security issue: o CAN-2003-0542 (cve.mitre.org) Fix buffer overflows in mod_alias and mod_rewrite which occurred if one configured a regular expression with more than 9 captures. This vulnerability requires the attacker to create or modify certain Apache configuration files, and is not a remote hole. However, it could possibly be used to gain additional privileges if access to the Apache administrator account can be gained through some other means. All sites running Apache should upgrade. (* Security fix *) patches/packages/mod_ssl-2.8.16_1.3.29-sparc-1.tgz: Upgraded to mod_ssl-2.8.16_1.3.29. patches/packages/fetchmail-6.2.5-sparc-1.tgz: Upgraded to fetchmail-6.2.5. This fixes a security issue where a specially crafted message could cause fetchmail to crash, preventing the user from retrieving email. (* Security fix *) patches/packages/gnupg-1.2.3-sparc-2.tgz: Removed support for ElGamal keys, since an implementation error has caused many of these to be easily compromised. Any existing sign+encrypt ElGamal keys should be revoked (and you'll need to use your existing gpg to do that). Fortunately, ElGamal is not used by default in GnuPG, is not widely used, and was never a popular choice because it produced larger signatures and was more costly to encrypt/decrypt than other choices. If you've been using ElGamal, you will need to select a new key cipher type for your replacement key (my suggestion would be to go with the GnuPG default). (* Security fix *) patches/packages/lftp-2.6.10-sparc-1.tgz: Upgraded to lftp-2.6.10. According to the NEWS file, this includes "security fixes in html parsing code" which could cause a compromise when using lftp to access an untrusted site. (* Security fix *) patches/packages/mutt-1.4.2i-sparc-1.tgz: Upgraded to mutt-1.4.2i. This fixes an overflow that is a potential security hole. Here's the information from www.mutt.org: "Mutt 1.4.2 was released on February 11, 2004. This version fixes a buffer overflow that can be triggered by incoming messages. There are reports about spam that has actually triggered this problem and crashed mutt. It is recommended that users of mutt versions prior to 1.4.2 upgrade to this version, or apply the patch included below." (* Security fix *) ----------------------------------- Thu Dec 4 08:47:03 CST 2003, fede2 patches/packages/rsync-2.5.7-sparc-1.tgz: Upgraded to rsync-2.5.7. From the rsync-2.5.7-NEWS file: SECURITY: * Fix buffer handling bugs. (Andrew Tridgell, Martin Pool, Paul Russell, Andrea Barisani) The vulnerability affects sites running rsync in daemon mode (rsync servers). These sites should be upgraded immediately. (* Security fix *) ----------------------------------- Fri Oct 3 21:59:02 CST 2003, fede2 patches/packages/openssl-0.9.7c-sparc-1.tgz: Upgraded to OpenSSL 0.9.7c. patches/packages/openssl-solibs-0.9.7c-sparc-1.tgz: Upgraded to OpenSSL 0.9.7c. This update fixes problems with OpenSSL's ASN.1 parsing which could lead to a denial of service. It is not known whether the problems could lead to the running of malicious code on the server, but it has not been ruled out. It also includes the minor fixes made on Slackware on the openssl-0.9.7c-i486-2 package. For detailed information, see OpenSSL's security advisory: http://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20030930.txt We recommend sites that use OpenSSL upgrade to the fixed packages right away.
