Subject: Trustix Security Advisory – bind and openssh (and
modutils)
Hi
Trustix has created updated packages for Trustix Secure Linux
1.0x and 1.1 that fixes one security problem and one DOS
attack:
openssh, openssh-clients, openssh-server:
The openssh client does not enforce the “ForwardX11 no”, and
“ForwardAgent no” configuration options, so that a malicious server
could force a client to forward these even if they are turned
off.
The X11 forwarding part is not a big issue for Trustix Secure
Linux, as the OS does not have any X11. The agent forwarding could
however be an issue.
bind, bind-devel, bind-utils:
Fixes a DOS attack against the name daemon. Note that TSL comes
with all network services turned off by default, and will thus only
run named on systems where this has been explicitly configured.
This DOS attack has to do with zone transfers, and will therefore
only be possible from the servers configured slaves.
The modutils part is just to reassure that Trustix Secure Linux
comes with modutils version 2.1.121, which should not be
susceptible to the attacks seen in later versions.
