____________________________________________________________________________
1) problem description, brief discussion, solution, upgrade information
PHP is a well known and widely used web programming language.
If a PHP script runs in "safe mode" several restrictions are applied
to it including limits on execution of external programs.
An attacker can pass shell meta-characters or sendmail(8) command line
options via the 5th argument (introduced in version 4.0.5) of the mail()
function to execute shell commands or control the behavior of sendmail(8).
The CRLF injection vulnerabilities in fopen(), file(), header(), ...
allow an attacker to bypass ACLs or trigger cross-side scripting.
The mod_php4 package is not installed by default.
A temporary fix is not known.
Please note, that the following packages were rebuild too:
- mod_php4-core
- mod_php4-aolserver
- mod_php4-devel
- mod_php4-servlet
- mod_php4-roxen
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.

Client applications which use res_search/res_nsreach and/or res_query()/
res_nquery() of libresolv could trigger a DNS decoding error, a SEGV or

The update packages are being built and tested. We will publish a security
announcement as soon as they are ready.
- ghostview/kghostview
Bufferoverflows have recently been discovered in these packages. They allow
attackers to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user
viewing special crafted documents created by the attacker. New packgaes will
soon be available on our ftp servers.

Fetchmail contains remotely exploitable overflows in the mail header
parsing functions. In depth discussion of these problems can be found at

3) standard appendix: authenticity verification, additional information
- Package authenticity verification:
SuSE update packages are available on many mirror ftp servers all over
the world. While this service is being considered valuable and important
to the free and open source software community, many users wish to be
sure about the origin of the package and its content before installing
the package. There are two verification methods that can be used
independently from each other 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 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 show proof of the authenticity of the package.
We disrecommend to subscribe 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 .

Vulnerability Type: remote privilege escalation
Severity (1-10): 4

Content of this advisory:
1) security vulnerability resolved:
- format string bug in logging
code for TSI
- buffer overflow in faxgetty

____________________________________________________________________________
1) problem description, brief discussion, solution, upgrade information
HylaFAX is a client-server architecture for receiving and sending
facsimiles.
The logging function of faxgetty prior version 4.1.3 was vulnerable to
a format string bug when handling the TSI value of a received facsimile.
This bug could easily be used to trigger a denial-of-service attack or
to execute arbitrary code remotely.
Another bug in faxgetty, a buffer overflow, can be abused by a remote
attacker by sending a large line of image data to execute arbitrary
commands too.
Several format string bugs in local helper applications were fixed too.
These bugs can not be exploited to gain higher privileges on a system
running SuSE Linux because of the absence of setuid bits.
The hylafax package is not installed by default.
A temporary fix is not 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.

Client applications which use res_search/res_nsreach and/or res_query()/
res_nquery() of libresolv could trigger a DNS decoding error, a SEGV or

The update packages are being built and tested. We will publish a security
announcement as soon as they are ready.
- ghostview/kghostview
Bufferoverflows have recently been discovered in these packages. They
allow attackers to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the

packgaes will soon be available on our ftp servers.
- fetchmail
Fetchmail contains remotely exploitable overflows in the mail header
parsing functions. In depth discussion of these problems can be found
at http://security.e-matters.de/advisories/032002.html.
New packages will soon be available on our ftp servers.
- kdelibs
KDE's SSL implementation fails to check the trust chain in SSL
certificates. This bug allows faking valid SSL certificates.
New KDE packages will be available soon to fix this and other bugs.
- ethereal
Several potential security issues have been discovered in ethereal
0.9.4. After this package is tested succesfuly it will be relased.

3) standard appendix: authenticity verification, additional information
- Package authenticity verification:
SuSE update packages are available on many mirror ftp servers all over
the world. While this service is being considered valuable and important
to the free and open source software community, many users wish to be
sure about the origin of the package and its content before installing
the package. There are two verification methods that can be used
independently from each other 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 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 show proof of the authenticity of the package.
We disrecommend to subscribe to security lists which cause the

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
