Phase 5 Upgrade Completed!
by Ittai Hershman 18 Dec '93

18 Dec '93

I am pleased to announce that this morning, we successfully completed the Phase 5 ANSNet deployment. The major changes accomplished in this upgrade were: o Upgrade of all DS3/HSSI router serial interface adapters (T3 CNSS and ENSS) to support full DS3 bandwidth. The router adapter bus interface cards were also upgraded to double the packet switching rates per interface. o The T3 DSUs on each DS3 interface were replaced with T3Plus BMX45 bandwidth managers on T3 CNSS-CNSS circuits and Larscom Access-T45 DSUs on a T3 ENSS-CNSS circuit. o The architecture for interconnection among CNSS routers at each MCI POP location was upgraded to a common FDDI ring from the original point-to-point links architecture. As a result of this upgrade, we have 17 backbone links and 21 customer attachments running at full T3: Seattle - Denver Backbone Link Seattle - San Francisco Backbone Link San Francisco - Chicago Backbone Link San Francisco - Los Angeles Backbone Link Los-Angeles - Albuquerque Backbone Link Albuquerque - Houston Backbone Link Houston - Atlanta Backbone Link Atlanta - Greensboro Backbone Link * Wash DC - Greensboro Backbone Link * New York - Wash DC Backbone Link Houston - St. Louis Backbone Link Denver - St. Louis Backbone Link St. Louis - Chicago Backbone Link Chicago - Cleveland Backbone Link Cleveland - New York Backbone Link * Hartford - Cleveland Backbone Link * New York - Hartford Backbone Link ENSS128 at Palo Alto (BARRnet, Stanford University) ENSS129 at Champaign (UIUC, CICnet) ENSS130 at Argonne (Argonne National Lab, CICNet) ENSS131 at Ann Arbor (ANS AA, Michnet, CICnet, etc.) ENSS132 at Pittsburgh (PSCnet, PREPnet, CMU, etc.). * ENSS133 at Ithaca (PSI, Cornell) * ENSS134 at Cambridge (NEARnet, Alternet, MIT) ENSS135 at San Diego (CERFnet, SDSC, etc.) * ENSS136 at College Park (SURAnet, Alternet, MAE-East, U of M, etc). ENSS137 at Princeton (Princeton University, JVNCnet) ENSS138 at Atlanta (Georgia Tech, SURAnet) ENSS139 at Houston (Sesquinet, Rice University) ENSS140 at Lincoln (MIDnet, Westnet, etc.) ENSS141 at Boulder (Westnet, NCAR, U of Colorado, etc.) ENSS142 at Salt Lake City (WestNet, U of Utah, etc.) ENSS143 at Seattle (NorthWestNet, U of Washington, etc.) ENSS144 at Moffett Field (FIX-West) * ENSS145 at College Park (FIX-East) * ENSS146 at Arlington (ARPA) ENSS172 at Albuquerque (Phillips Laboratory) ENSS179 at Albuquerque (Sandia National Labs) (*) upgraded this morning during Step 6 (of 6) of the deployment. Happy holidays to all from all of us at ANS, -Ittai

results of survey (so far)
by epg 17 Dec '93

17 Dec '93

On Dec 5, Merit sent a survey to the ASs that peer with the NSFNET/ANSnet asking a lot of questions about BGP4. (The survey is appended to the end of this message.) Of the 28 organizations that we hoped would respond, 15 did. Of the 15, 9 point default at the NSFNET/ANSnet. Of the 6 which don't point default, 4 will have BGP4 by January '94. All 15 responded that they did NOT want proxy aggregation done by the NSFNET/ ANSnet. Since we haven't asked folks if we could publish info about their networks, all respondents remain anonymous :-) --Elise ---------------------Survey------------------------ Date: Sun, 5 Dec 93 14:04:51 EST From: epg(a)merit.edu To: regional-techs(a)merit.edu During early January, we are planning on deploying new router software on NSFNET/ANSnet based upon Gated. This software will support the BGP4 protocol and will interoperate with the older rcp_routed software. We currently expect this software to be fully deployed by mid-January, and this will make the NSFNET/ANSnet capable of supporting CIDR routing. Once NSFNET/ANSnet starts accepting CIDR aggregates, any networks that peer with NSFNET/ANSnet will need to either accept CIDR aggregates (via BGP4 on their routers) or default to NSFNET/ANSnet. The purpose of this questionnaire is to identify any problems with these options, and help plan for a smooth transition. Will a representative of each routing peer please complete the following questionnaire and return it to ie(a)merit.edu before December 10. Thank you for your cooperation. 1. Name of Your Network: 2. The AS number(s) of your Network: 3. Routing information currently imported from NSFNET/ANSnet: a) default only (y/n) b) default + specific routes (y/n) c) explicit routes only - no default (y/n) 4. If you import explicit routes from NSFNET/ANSnet, is it a requirement for your routing design (y/n)? 5. When NSFNET/ANSnet becomes CIDR capable, do you expect to be able to peer via BGP4 and accept CIDR aggregates? (y/n) if yes: a) What kind of router do you plan to use? b) What software release will you use? c) When do you plan to advertise aggregates to NSFNET/ANSnet? (qt/yr) if no: a) Can you generate or accept a default route that points to NSFNET/ANSnet? (y/n) b) When do you expect to peer with the NSFNET/ANSnet via BGP4? (qt/yr or never) 6. If you can not generate or accept a default route that points to NSFNET/ANSnet, can you suggest an alternate routing plan? 7. Do you expect NSFNET/ANSnet to do proxy aggregation for any explicit routes that you announce? 8. Do you still expect to use EGP protocol to peer with NSFNET/ANSnet? (y/n) if yes: a) Do you have plans to migrate to BGP? (y/n) b) When do you expect to migrate to BGP? (qt/yr) c) Which version of BGP will you deploy? (2,3,4)

CERT Advisory - Solaris System Startup Vulnerability
by CERT Advisory 16 Dec '93

16 Dec '93

============================================================================= CA-93:19 CERT Advisory December 16, 1993 Solaris System Startup Vulnerability ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The CERT Coordination Center has received information concerning a vulnerability in the system startup scripts on Solaris 2.x and Solaris x86 systems. The changes described below will be integrated into the upcoming Solaris release. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I. Description If fsck(8) fails during system boot, a privileged shell is run on the system console. This behavior can represent a security vulnerability if users, who would normally not have root access, have physical access to the console at boot time. An attacker can force the failure to occur. II. Impact This vulnerability allows anyone with physical access to the system console to gain root access. III. Solution A simple change to each of two system scripts can be used to close this potential security hole. The new behavior will cause the system to run the privileged shell only if the user at the console enters the correct root password. If you wish to make the change on your own systems, edit both /sbin/rcS and /sbin/mountall, changing every occurrence of: /sbin/sh < /dev/console to: /sbin/sulogin < /dev/console As distributed by Sun, /sbin/rcS contains one occurrence of this string, at line 152; and /sbin/mountall contains two, one at line 66 and one at line 250. Once these changes are made, sulogin will request the root password in the event fsck(8) fails, before starting a privileged shell. The success or failure of sulogin will be logged in /var/adm/sulog. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The CERT Coordination Center wishes to thank Sun Microsystems, Inc. for their support in responding to this problem. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you believe that your system has been compromised, contact the CERT Coordination Center or your representative in Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST). Internet E-mail: cert(a)cert.org Telephone: 412-268-7090 (24-hour hotline) CERT personnel answer 8:30 a.m.-5:00 p.m. EST(GMT-5)/EDT(GMT-4), and are on call for emergencies during other hours.

CERT Advisory - SunOS/Solbourne loadmodule and modload Vulnerability
by CERT Advisory 15 Dec '93

15 Dec '93

============================================================================= CA-93:18 CERT Advisory December 15, 1993 SunOS/Solbourne loadmodule and modload Vulnerability ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The CERT Coordination Center has received information concerning a vulnerability in /usr/etc/modload and $OPENWINHOME/bin/loadmodule in Sun Microsystems, Inc. SunOS 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.1.3, and 4.1.3c and OpenWindows 3.0 on all sun4 and Solbourne Computer, Inc. architectures. The problem does not exist in Solaris 2.x, Solaris x86, and sun3 architectures (OpenWindows 3.0 was not released for the sun3 architecture). Sun has produced a patch for these vulnerabilities for sun4 architectures. It is available through your local Sun Answer Center as well as through anonymous FTP from the ftp.uu.net system in the /systems/sun/sun-dist directory or from the ftp.eu.net system in the /sun/fixes directory. Solbourne has announced a workaround that is included below. Please note that this advisory supersedes CERT Advisory CA-91:22 "SunOS OpenWindows Vulnerability". ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I. Description loadmodule(8) and modload(8) can be exploited to execute a user's program using the effective UID of root. II. Impact This vulnerability allows a local user to gain root access. III. Solution A. SunOS Solution Obtain and install the appropriate patches according to the instructions included with the patches. Module Patch ID Filename ---------- --------- --------------- loadmodule 100448-02 100448-02.tar.Z BSD Checksum = 19410 5 MD5 Checksum = 0215910cf65e055ed3042070bd961a22 modload 101200-02 101200-02.tar.Z BSD Checksum = 41677 28 MD5 Checksum = 626ab2917204eb6e6eb5f165cca3e908 B. Solbourne Solution Solbourne systems do not support the "loadmodule" functionality. This vulnerability can be fixed on Solbourne systems by removing the setuid bit: chmod 0755 /usr/openwin/bin/loadmodule The modload program does not need to replaced or changed. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The CERT Coordination Center wishes to thank Sun Microsystems, Inc. and Solbourne Computers, Inc. for their support in responding to this problem. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you believe that your system has been compromised, contact the CERT Coordination Center or your representative in Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST).

Network analysis.
by hwb＠upeksa.sdsc.edu 15 Dec '93

15 Dec '93

Over the last few years we have spent a considerable amount of effort at SDSC/UCSD to analyze traffic characteristics of wide area networks. While we were able to just scratch the surface with what is doable and useful, particularly for network planning, engineering, and research, we are getting to a point where it would be useful for us to learn what kind of statistics people currently collect, what they are doing with those statistics, and what kind of statistical objects and analysis they think would make their network work better (make it more manageable, planable, or whatever). So, we are interested in finding out for various operational infrastructures in the U.S. as well as the international Internet community, the following questions: (1) what kind of statistics do you collect? (2) how long of a history do you keep? (3) what is the volume of statistics being generated per day/week/month? (4) what are you doing with them in terms of post processing? Just for operational purposes? In depth analysis? Research, e.g., for published papers? (5) what kind of additional statistics and analysis would you find useful for your network? (6) anything else worth mentioning? We would like to compile a list from the submitted responses, for everyone's benefit. Specifically now with the beginning of much more formalization of network engineering and operational groups that have a strong emphasis on real infrastructure, it may be interesting to find out what the statistics and network analysis requirements are for operational environments, and whether some more of our work could be of value to the Internet community. For example, now that the basic fabric is workable, can we pull things together better in some way or another, e.g., by having a better, and perhaps day-to-day operational, understanding of international flows. If you want more details about what we are doing with network analysis and so, drop me a not and I will send you more information. Hans-Werner

Phase 5 Step 6 Schedule
by Ittai Hershman 14 Dec '93

14 Dec '93

In the final step of the Phase 5 deployment, we will be upgrading both the Washington DC CNSS and connected sites and the Hartford CNSS and its connected sites. Since a number of providers (PSI, Alternet, and NEARnet) have dual attachment connectivity via these two CNSSs, we have staggered the upgrades to minimize loss of NSFNET Backbone Service connectivity. The following is our detailed schedule for Phase 5 Step 6: 11:00pm 12/17 CE on site at Hartford/Washington POPs 12:00am 12/18 C51, C59 Upgrade 01:00am 12/18 CE on site C40(revisit) E133 E134 01:30am 12/18 C48, C40, E133, E134 Upgrade 03:00am 12/18 CE on site E146 03:30am 12/18 C49, C57, E146 Upgrade 05:00am 12/18 CE on site C32(revisit) 05:30am 12/18 C56, C32 Upgrade 07:00am 12/18 CE on site C72(revisit) E145 E136 07:30am 12/18 C58, C72, E145, E136 Upgrade Please note that the Step 6 window is scheduled from Midnight to 11:30am on Saturday, December 18th. -Ittai

Re: A Report of the Resource Allocation Committee
by cook＠path.net 14 Dec '93

14 Dec '93

Interesting RAC report. This focuses on the magic formula implied during the fall of 1990 when the MERIT partners and Steve "gave" ANS to the world. ANS would somehow leverage the backing of IBM and MCI into the creation "infrastructure" that would pay wonderful dividends to the research and education community. From January 1991 to the present - a three year period, NSF has poured approximately 30 million into the running of ANS via its payments to MERIT. >From what I hear the money in the infrastructure pool after *3* years is probably LESS than $200,000. Hardly a significant pay back on 30 million of federal funds. HERE is the ONE demonstrable way in which ANS actually returns something to the network. Yet it does so behind closed doors and keeps its one charitable activity on the profit making side of the company where it is not required to submitt to public scrutiny. Why? Makes no sense. What is ANS hiding by doing this? What would ANS have to loose by 1. explaining exactly how funds are placed in the pool and 2. announcing the value of the pool every quarter? I asked Joel Maloff to explain this to me in October. He did so but the time was limited and I do not feel I have a thorough understanding. But why explain it just to me? Why not accept questions and put out the details in a press release. I asked Joel whether every time ANS connected a customer that customer paid 2,000 or 4,000 surcharge to the "inf. pool"? Answer: no. If the customer was connected to a core nodal router, nothing was paid to the pool. If to an end nodal router, I believe something went into the pool. Only problem is I am not aware that ANS has any attachments connected to ENSS nodes. The other instance apparently was when a commercial customer of a regional wanted blessing to send its packets across the ANS backbone. It got this blessing via an annual (?) contribution to the pool which has nothing to do with the existence or absence of CO+RE profits despite the fact that the pool is run by CO+RE. When a commercial customer makes a contribution to the pool why shouldn't it be announced to the community? How would ANS be harmed by full disclosure? And if ANS won't disclose, why won't NSF fulfill its oversight duties by monitoring and disclosure?? I mean the NAME of the NSF represenative on the pool apparently is classified? All other members of RAC were listed by name. Why not NSF?
