______________________________________________________________________________

1)  problem description, brief discussion, solution, upgrade information

    The well known and widely used mail client pine is vulnerable to
    a buffer overflow.  The vulnerability exists in the code processing
    'message/external-body' type messages. It allows remote attackers
    to execute arbitrary commands as the user running pine.
    Additionally an integer overflow in the MIME header parsing code
    has been fixed.

    Since there is no workaround, an update is strongly recommended for
    pine users.

    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.

2)  Pending vulnerabilities in SuSE Distributions and Workarounds:

    - gkrellmd
    The gkrellmd, part of the gkrellm package, contains a buffer overflow.
    Only the gkrellm package shipped with SL 8.2 is vulnerable. New update
    packages will be available on our FTP servers soon.

    - gdm2
    The Gnome Display Manager (GDM) contains a bug which allows local
    attackers to view any file on the system. Fixed packages will be available
    on our FTP servers soon.

    - kernel/PPC64
    A locally exploitable vulnerability in the kernel for SLES 8 PowerPC
    based IBM iSeries Systems allows an attacker to overwrite arbitrary kernel
    memory. Update packages are being published on our maintenance web, and
    our customers are being notified individually.

    - whois
    A buffer overflow exists in the whois command. New packages will be
    available on our FTP servers soon.

    - xfs
    The X font server (xfs) contains various integer overflows which could
    allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands. SuSE products
    do not enable xfs by default, but the update packages should be installed
    as soon as they are available on our FTP servers.

    - postgresql
    The SQL database server postgresql of version 7.3.x prior 7.3.4 is
    vulnerable to buffer overflow attacks. New packages will be available
    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 security@...e.de),
       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 "build@...e.de" 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 .
