1) problem description, brief discussion, solution, upgrade information
Digital Defense Inc. have discovered a buffer overflow in the samba
file server, the widely spread implementation of the SMB protocol.
The flaw allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands as root
on a server that runs a vulnerable version of samba. The vulnerability
is known as DDI trans2.c overflow bug and is assigned the CVE ID
CAN-2003-0201. Since this vulnerability was found during an analysis of
an exploit happening in the wild, it should be assumed that exploits
are circulating in the internet.
A possible workaround is to restrict access using the "hosts allow"
directive in the smb.conf file to a group of trusted hosts/addresses
that should be able to access the server. Please see the sbm.conf(5)
manpage ("man smb.conf") for more details about such configuration
changes. It should be noted that each change of the configuration
requires restarting/reloading the samba daemon ("rcsmb reload").
The only efficient and permanent remedy for the vulnerability should
be to install the provided update packages from locations as listed
below.
It should be noted that this announcement is not a re-release of
SuSE Security Announcement SuSE-SA:2003:016. While the update packages
that are subject of this announcement (SuSE-SA:2003:025) also cover
the problems fixed with SuSE-SA:2003:016, it announces fixes for
a different vulnerability in addition. Therefore, the update packages
must be installed again.
Please note that the package names for SuSE products vary for different
products. There exist the following pairings:
server client
----------------------------
samba smbclnt
samba samba-client
samba-classic samba-classic-client
samba-ldap samba-ldap-client
To find out which packages are installed on your system, you may run
the following command:
rpm -qa|egrep '(samba|smbclnt)'
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.
SPECIAL INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:
==============================
After successfully installing the update packages, you should restart
the samba server process(es) to make the changes in the system effective.
If you do not have a samba server running on your system, no further
action is required. If you have a samba server running, please run the
following command as root:
rcsmb try-restart
This will restart the samba daemon(s) if such daemon(s) are already
running.

2) Pending vulnerabilities in SuSE Distributions and Workarounds:
- glibc
New glibc packages will be available soon which fix a RPC XDR integer
overflow. The packages are currently being tested.
- vnc
VNC (Virtual Network Computing) uses a weak cookie generation process
which can be exploited by an attacker to bypass authentication.
New packages are currently being tested and will be available on our
FTP servers soon.
____________________________________________________________________________
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 [email protected]),
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 "[email protected]" 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 .
- SuSE runs two security mailing lists to which any interested party may
subscribe:
[email protected]
- general/linux/SuSE security discussion.

[slackware-security] Samba security problem fixed
The samba packages in Slackware 8.1 and 9.0 have been upgraded to
Samba 2.2.8a to fix a security problem.
All sites running samba should upgrade.
Here are the details from the Slackware 9.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
Mon Apr 7 14:26:53 PDT 2003
patches/packages/samba-2.2.8a-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to samba-2.2.8a.

****************************************
* IMPORTANT: Security bugfix for Samba *
****************************************
Digital Defense, Inc. has alerted the Samba Team to a serious
vulnerability in all stable versions of Samba currently shipping.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned
the ID CAN-2003-0201 to this defect.
This vulnerability, if exploited correctly, leads to an anonymous
user gaining root access on a Samba serving system. All versions
of Samba up to and including Samba 2.2.8 are vulnerable. An active
exploit of the bug has been reported in the wild. Alpha versions of
Samba 3.0 and above are NOT vulnerable.

Product: Red Hat Linux
Keywords: smb
Cross references:
Obsoletes: RHSA-2003:095
CVE Names: CAN-2003-0196 CAN-2003-0201
---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Topic:
Updated Samba packages that fix a security vulnerability are now available
for Red Hat Linux 7.2, 7.3, 8.0, and 9. Packages for Red Hat Linux 7.1
will be added shortly.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Linux 7.2 - i386, ia64
Red Hat Linux 7.3 - i386
Red Hat Linux 8.0 - i386
Red Hat Linux 9 - i386
3. Problem description:
Samba is a suite of utilities which provide file and printer sharing
services to SMB/CIFS clients.
A security vulnerability has been found in versions of Samba up to and
including 2.2.8. An anonymous user could exploit the vulnerability to
gain root access on the target machine. Note that this is a different
vulnerability than the one fixed by RHSA-2003:095.
An exploit for this vulnerability is publicly available.
All users of Samba are advised to update to the packages listed in this
erratum, which contain a backported patch correcting this vulnerability.
4. Solution:
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:
rpm -Fvh [filenames]
where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are
not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you
can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory only contains the
desired RPMs.
Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:
up2date
This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla for more info):
86307 - Netlogon causes DoS since upgrade to latest update
82041 - ignores wide links, serving files which shouldn't be served
