______________________________________________________________________ Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory ______________________________________________________________________ Package name: xchat Advisory ID: MDKSA-2002:051 Date: August 14th, 2002 Affected versions: 7.1, 7.2, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, Corporate Server 1.0.1 ______________________________________________________________________ Problem Description: In versions of the xchat IRC client prior to version 1.8.9, xchat does not filter the response from an IRC server when a /dns query is executed. xchat resolves hostnames by passing the configured resolver and hostname to a shell, so an IRC server may return a malicious response formatted so that arbitrary commands are executed with the privilege of the user running xchat. ______________________________________________________________________ References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2002-0382 http://online.securityfocus.com/bid/4376/info/ ______________________________________________________________________ Updated Packages: Linux-Mandrake 7.1: d6d49335adada894c1aa3fa939d8b9f3 7.1/RPMS/xchat-1.8.9-1.2mdk.i586.rpm 6d05bf91dcf5e713c80733c0266707c7 7.1/SRPMS/xchat-1.8.9-1.2mdk.src.rpm Linux-Mandrake 7.2: c95dd6649268bed1dbc11841edfcbef1 7.2/RPMS/xchat-1.8.9-1.2mdk.i586.rpm 6d05bf91dcf5e713c80733c0266707c7 7.2/SRPMS/xchat-1.8.9-1.2mdk.src.rpm Mandrake Linux 8.0: 9c5820900faa143354b912a3934f4238 8.0/RPMS/xchat-1.8.9-1.1mdk.i586.rpm 8e90f10583d899d8fcec3add917cff9e 8.0/SRPMS/xchat-1.8.9-1.1mdk.src.rpm Mandrake Linux 8.0/ppc: 4fbdf3b5273608a2c8f29d76c1f99b22 ppc/8.0/RPMS/xchat-1.8.9-1.1mdk.ppc.rpm 8e90f10583d899d8fcec3add917cff9e ppc/8.0/SRPMS/xchat-1.8.9-1.1mdk.src.rpm Mandrake Linux 8.1: b15fc620fccbb433f2342a5697878d46 8.1/RPMS/xchat-1.8.9-1.1mdk.i586.rpm 8e90f10583d899d8fcec3add917cff9e 8.1/SRPMS/xchat-1.8.9-1.1mdk.src.rpm Mandrake Linux 8.1/ia64: 3b153d74852081b8c2716795da8221fb ia64/8.1/RPMS/xchat-1.8.9-1.1mdk.ia64.rpm 8e90f10583d899d8fcec3add917cff9e ia64/8.1/SRPMS/xchat-1.8.9-1.1mdk.src.rpm Mandrake Linux 8.2: 07acd74eb2ba9e6e993c080f3f62d1db 8.2/RPMS/xchat-1.8.9-1.1mdk.i586.rpm 8e90f10583d899d8fcec3add917cff9e 8.2/SRPMS/xchat-1.8.9-1.1mdk.src.rpm Mandrake Linux 8.2/ppc: 949876f355b3f0330e9d0a15a8da9c22 ppc/8.2/RPMS/xchat-1.8.9-1.1mdk.ppc.rpm 8e90f10583d899d8fcec3add917cff9e ppc/8.2/SRPMS/xchat-1.8.9-1.1mdk.src.rpm Corporate Server 1.0.1: d6d49335adada894c1aa3fa939d8b9f3 1.0.1/RPMS/xchat-1.8.9-1.2mdk.i586.rpm 6d05bf91dcf5e713c80733c0266707c7 1.0.1/SRPMS/xchat-1.8.9-1.2mdk.src.rpm ______________________________________________________________________ Bug IDs fixed (see https://qa.mandrakesoft.com for more information): ______________________________________________________________________ To upgrade automatically, use MandrakeUpdate.

This could be exploited by a local attacker to overwrite files or lead to privilege escalation if users decode data into share directories, such as /tmp.

An error condition will trigger the shutdown of the server when the rdataset parameter to the dns_message_findtype() function in message.c is not NULL as expected. This condition causes the server to assert an error message and shutdown the BIND server. The error condition can be remotely exploited by a special DNS packet. This can only be used to create a Denial of Service on the server; the error condition is correctly detected, so it will not allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the server. Update: Sascha Kettler noticed that the version of BIND9 supplied originally was in fact 9.2.1RC1 and mis-labelled as 9.2.1. The packages provided in this update are BIND 9.2.1 final. Likewise, the buffer overflow in the DNS resolver libraries, as noted in MDKSA-2002:043, has also been fixed. Thanks to Bernhard Rosenkraenzer at Red Hat for backporting the patches from 8.3.3 to 9.2.1. ______________________________________________________________________ References: http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/739123 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2002-0400 http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/803539 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2002-0651 ______________________________________________________________________ Updated Packages: Mandrake Linux 8.0: 2d333068cd1c97287cc6248d0ecb3094 8.0/RPMS/bind-9.2.1-2.2mdk.i586.rpm 5235059b1af4433f5f89719839d6ed83 8.0/RPMS/bind-devel-9.2.1-2.2mdk.i586.rpm ca0df55cabe34fa2dc9aa38006ea58a8 8.0/RPMS/bind-utils-9.2.1-2.2mdk.i586.rpm 849d8830664ead2851e3bc5d1cd16414 8.0/RPMS/caching-nameserver-8.1-3.1mdk.noarch.rpm 81b76c2f5bddd8b21afc1628aa0fbee3 8.0/SRPMS/bind-9.2.1-2.2mdk.src.rpm 254bb3d6d6126039688ffa42c2c23a0e 8.0/SRPMS/caching-nameserver-8.1-3.1mdk.src.rpm Mandrake Linux 8.0/ppc: 54d6399d39dafd8715fe42857ecdbb10 ppc/8.0/RPMS/bind-9.2.1-2.2mdk.ppc.rpm a49acb81b4e7bf2ae0f5d4fb2a8af773 ppc/8.0/RPMS/bind-devel-9.2.1-2.2mdk.ppc.rpm 437c8f2f8fd8cb342964a9bfc3727808 ppc/8.0/RPMS/bind-utils-9.2.1-2.2mdk.ppc.rpm 339aab22951c433943aec49791646f1f ppc/8.0/RPMS/caching-nameserver-8.1-3.1mdk.noarch.rpm 81b76c2f5bddd8b21afc1628aa0fbee3 ppc/8.0/SRPMS/bind-9.2.1-2.2mdk.src.rpm 254bb3d6d6126039688ffa42c2c23a0e ppc/8.0/SRPMS/caching-nameserver-8.1-3.1mdk.src.rpm Mandrake Linux 8.1: cc6e0e45be2d0dc02944e507cc150fdf 8.1/RPMS/bind-9.2.1-2.2mdk.i586.rpm f06f4b3556df65a7a6986facf3e30dee 8.1/RPMS/bind-devel-9.2.1-2.2mdk.i586.rpm 00cf479e0abbcf027dad5aa255e75444 8.1/RPMS/bind-utils-9.2.1-2.2mdk.i586.rpm e9f138b5ee6ca30484677a773d6cdacb 8.1/RPMS/caching-nameserver-8.1-3.1mdk.noarch.rpm 81b76c2f5bddd8b21afc1628aa0fbee3 8.1/SRPMS/bind-9.2.1-2.2mdk.src.rpm 254bb3d6d6126039688ffa42c2c23a0e 8.1/SRPMS/caching-nameserver-8.1-3.1mdk.src.rpm Mandrake Linux 8.1/ia64: a702b12112c21b1ff0734ca30a590faf ia64/8.1/RPMS/bind-9.2.1-2.2mdk.ia64.rpm 442b1d7b3a38b651c125e43d501745f6 ia64/8.1/RPMS/bind-devel-9.2.1-2.2mdk.ia64.rpm 4d3144ca073cbbe04df703425a7fa115 ia64/8.1/RPMS/bind-utils-9.2.1-2.2mdk.ia64.rpm 05b83591a3e16d26af8cc8123894a5f4 ia64/8.1/RPMS/caching-nameserver-8.1-3.1mdk.noarch.rpm 81b76c2f5bddd8b21afc1628aa0fbee3 ia64/8.1/SRPMS/bind-9.2.1-2.2mdk.src.rpm 254bb3d6d6126039688ffa42c2c23a0e ia64/8.1/SRPMS/caching-nameserver-8.1-3.1mdk.src.rpm Mandrake Linux 8.2: c871ab517a1f789a134337dc580ab803 8.2/RPMS/bind-9.2.1-2.2mdk.i586.rpm 15cdebfe14d8a213101d758137364c72 8.2/RPMS/bind-devel-9.2.1-2.2mdk.i586.rpm 551bb255ed07bb0b257875190c866b42 8.2/RPMS/bind-utils-9.2.1-2.2mdk.i586.rpm 18145fb072aaad5a7272a00ea4e0c411 8.2/RPMS/caching-nameserver-8.1-3.1mdk.noarch.rpm 81b76c2f5bddd8b21afc1628aa0fbee3 8.2/SRPMS/bind-9.2.1-2.2mdk.src.rpm 254bb3d6d6126039688ffa42c2c23a0e 8.2/SRPMS/caching-nameserver-8.1-3.1mdk.src.rpm Mandrake Linux 8.2/ppc: b5b83be16e65c690baea0ee0818d37a1 ppc/8.2/RPMS/bind-9.2.1-2.2mdk.ppc.rpm 6dcc3d95be37f499bdd1dd3c74f2fdb5 ppc/8.2/RPMS/bind-devel-9.2.1-2.2mdk.ppc.rpm bd3d39475eccd6f5a225900c15a53e74 ppc/8.2/RPMS/bind-utils-9.2.1-2.2mdk.ppc.rpm cc580609afa0dddc45a7d44c79996294 ppc/8.2/RPMS/caching-nameserver-8.1-3.1mdk.noarch.rpm 81b76c2f5bddd8b21afc1628aa0fbee3 ppc/8.2/SRPMS/bind-9.2.1-2.2mdk.src.rpm 254bb3d6d6126039688ffa42c2c23a0e ppc/8.2/SRPMS/caching-nameserver-8.1-3.1mdk.src.rpm ______________________________________________________________________ Bug IDs fixed (see https://qa.mandrakesoft.com for more information): ______________________________________________________________________ To upgrade automatically, use MandrakeUpdate.
