CERT Advisory - SunOS Environment Variables
by CERT Advisory 27 May '92

27 May '92

=========================================================================== CA-92:11 CERT Advisory May 27, 1992 SunOS Environment Variables and setuid/setgid Vulnerability --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Computer Emergency Response Team/Coordination Center (CERT/CC) has received information concerning a vulnerability involving environment variables and setuid/setgid programs under Sun Microsystems Computer Corporation SunOS. This vulnerability exists on all Sun architectures running SunOS 4.0 and higher. In-house and third-party software can also be impacted by this vulnerability. For example, the current versions of rnews, sudo, smount, and npasswd are known to be vulnerable under SunOS. See the Description section of this advisory for details of how to identify software which may be vulnerable. The workaround detailed in this advisory can be used to protect vulnerable software on SunOS operating system versions for which patches are unavailable, or for local or third party software which may be vulnerable. Sun has provided patches for SunOS 4.1, 4.1.1, and 4.1.2 programs which are known to be impacted by this vulnerability. They are available through your local Sun Answer Center as well as through anonymous ftp from the ftp.uu.net (137.39.1.9) system in the /systems/sun/sun-dist directory. Fix PatchID Filename Checksum login and su 100630-01 100630-01.tar.Z 36269 39 sendmail 100377-04 100377-04.tar.Z 14692 311 Note: PatchID 100630-01 contains the international version of /usr/bin/login. PatchID 100631-01 contains the domestic version of /usr/bin/login and is only available from Sun Answer Centers for sites that use the US Encryption Kit. Please note that Sun will occasionally update patch files. If you find that the checksum is different please contact Sun or the CERT/CC for verification. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I. Description A security vulnerability exists if a set-user-id program changes its real and effective user ids to be the same (but not to the invoker's id), and subsequently causes a dynamically-linked program to be exec'd. A similar vulnerability exists for set-group-id programs. In particular, SunOS /usr/lib/sendmail, /usr/bin/login, /usr/bin/su, and /usr/5bin/su are vulnerable to this problem. II. Impact Local users can gain unauthorized privileged access to the system. III. Solution A. Obtain and install the patches from Sun or from ftp.uu.net following the provided instructions. B. The following workaround can be used to protect vulnerable binaries for which patches are unavailable for your SunOS version, or for local or third party software which may be vulnerable. The example given is a workaround for /usr/lib/sendmail. 1. As root, rename the existing version of /usr/lib/sendmail and modify the permissions to prevent misuse. # mv /usr/lib/sendmail /usr/lib/sendmail.dist # chmod 755 /usr/lib/sendmail.dist 2. In an empty temporary directory, create a file wrapper.c containing the following C program source (remember to strip any leading white-space characters from the #define lines). /* Start of C program source */ /* Change the next line to reflect the full pathname of the file to be protected by the wrapper code */ #define COMMAND "/usr/lib/sendmail.dist" #define VAR_NAME "LD_" main(argc,argv,envp) int argc; char **argv; char **envp; { register char **cpp; register char **xpp; register char *cp; for (cpp = envp; cp = *cpp;) { if (strncmp(cp, VAR_NAME, strlen(VAR_NAME))==0) { for (xpp = cpp; xpp[0] = xpp[1]; xpp++); /* void */ ; } else { cpp++; } } execv(COMMAND, argv); perror(COMMAND); exit(1); } /* End of C program source */ 3. As root, compile the C program source for the wrapper and install the resulting binary. # make wrapper # mv ./wrapper /usr/lib/sendmail # chown root /usr/lib/sendmail # chmod 4711 /usr/lib/sendmail 4. Steps 1 through 3 should be repeated for other vulnerable programs with the appropriate substitution of pathnames and file names. The "COMMAND" C preprocessor variable within the C program source should also be changed to reflect the appropriate renamed system binary. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The CERT/CC wishes to thank the following for their assistance: CIAC, PCERT, and in particular Wietse Venema of Eindhoven University, The Netherlands, for his support in the analysis of and a workaround for this problem. We also wish to thank Sun Microsystems Computer Corporation for their prompt response to this vulnerability. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you believe that your system has been compromised, contact CERT/CC or your representative in FIRST (Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams).

by CERT Advisory 26 May '92

26 May '92

=========================================================================== CA-92:10 CERT Advisory May 26, 1992 AIX crontab Vulnerability --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Computer Emergency Response Team/Coordination Center (CERT/CC) has received information concerning a vulnerability in crontab(1) in version 3.2 of IBM's AIX operating system. IBM is aware of this problem and a fix is available as apar number "ix26997" for AIX version 3.2. The version information for the patched /usr/bin/crontab is shown in the following what(1) output: % what /usr/bin/crontab 04 1.23 com/cmd/cntl/cron/crontab.c, cmdcntl, bos320, 9218320f 4/8/92 11:50:42 07 1.8 com/cmd/cntl/cron/permit.c, bos, bos320 4/25/91 17:16:59 11 1.15 com/cmd/cntl/cron/cronsub.c, bos, bos320 8/18/91 20:42:32 06 1.9 com/cmd/cntl/cron/funcs.c, bos, bos320 6/8/91 21:22:40 If your crontab contains older modules than the above output indicates, we suggest that you install the fix. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I. Description The distributed version of /usr/bin/crontab contains a security vulnerability. II. Impact Local users can gain unauthorized root access to the system. III. Solution The CERT/CC suggests that sites install the fix that IBM has made available. As an interim step, we suggests that sites prevent all non-root users from running /usr/bin/crontab by removing (or renaming) the /var/adm/cron/cron.allow and /var/adm/cron/cron.deny files. - Obtain the fix from IBM Support. 1. To order from IBM call 1-800-237-5511 and ask that the fix be shipped. Patches may be obtained outside the U.S. by contacting your local IBM representative. 2. If you are on the Internet, use anonymous ftp to obtain the fix from software.watson.ibm.com (129.34.139.5). Patch Filename Checksum AIX 3.2 pub/aix3/cronta.tar.Z 02324 154 The patch must be retrieved using binary mode. - Install the fix following the instructions in the README file. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The CERT/CC would like to thank Fuat Baran of Advanced Network & Services, Inc. for bringing this security vulnerability to our attention and IBM for their quick response to this problem. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you believe that your system has been compromised, contact CERT/CC or your representative in FIRST (Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams).

Re: Additions, etc. to the NSFNET policy-based routing database
by Belinda Sue Blair 26 May '92

26 May '92

Regional techs and others, Greetings. Since nsfnet-admin received an incredibly low number of Network Announcement Change Requests over the Memorial Day weekend in this fine nation of ours, I am unilaterally, in the fine Haig tradition, postponing the configuration window one day to Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. NACRs will be accepted for this run until 2pm-ish Tuesday and the installation window will be from 05:00-08:00 Wednesday morning. If you need any configurations installed before then, please message trouble(a)merit.edu and state that you need an emergency config. The NOC can then page me and I will deal with it from there. Apologies for any inconvenience. Thanks, -B. Sue Blair Merit Network Operations
