Subject: MITKRB5-SA-2011-005 FTP daemon fails to set effective group ID [CVE-2011-1526]
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

MITKRB5-SA-2011-005
MIT krb5 Security Advisory 2011-005
Original release: 2011-07-05
Topic: FTP daemon fails to set effective group ID
CVE-2011-1526
CVSSv2 Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:P/I:P/A:P/E:H/RL:O/RC:C
CVSSv2 Base Score: 6.5
Access Vector: Network
Access Complexity: Low
Authentication: Single
Confidentiality Impact: Partial
Integrity Impact: Partial
Availability Impact: Partial
CVSSv2 Temporal Score: 5.7
Exploitability: High
Remediation Level: Official Fix
Report Confidence: Confirmed
SUMMARY
=======
A remote client of the GSS-API FTP daemon in the krb5-appl
distribution can access files using the effective group ID that the
FTP daemon process had when it started.
IMPACT
======
An authenticated remote user can gain unauthorized read or write
access to files whose group owner is the initial effective group ID of
the FTP daemon process. This is often GID 0 ("root" or "wheel").
The severity of the consequences depends heavily on the details of an
individual system's configuration. Prudent system administration
practices concerning file permissions will largely prevent any
malicious damage from this vulnerability.
No exploit code is necessary; any user able to log into the FTP server
will gain unauthorized access.
AFFECTED SOFTWARE
=================
* The GSS-API FTP daemon in all krb5-appl releases, up to and
including krb5-appl-1.0.1, is vulnerable.
FIXES
=====
* An upcoming release of krb5-appl will contain a fix.
* Apply the following patch. You will need to run ./autogen.sh to
rebuild the configure script, and you should rebuild from a clean
source tree to ensure that the correct macro definitions are
compiled.

DETAILS
=======
The vulnerability results from two interacting flaws: omission of
required autoconf tests, causing krb5_setegid() to always fail, and
the FTP daemon's failure to check for the successful execution of
krb5_setegid().
The FTP daemon calls the portability macro krb5_setegid() from
k5-util.h, which is intended to wrap or emulate the POSIX interface
setegid(). The definition of the macro depends on macros that the
autoconf configure script defines (based on tests of the target
platform environment) when it runs. When the krb5 application
programs moved out of the main krb5 source tree, the new configure
script inadvertently omitted the necessary autoconf tests for
setegid() and related legacy interfaces. If no setegid() equivalent
appears to exist on the system, k5-util.h defines krb5_setegid() to
always fail with errno EPERM. Since the relevant autoconf tests never
execute, k5-util.h will always define krb5_setegid() to fail.
The FTP daemon does not check the return value of krb5_setegid(), so
it silently fails to set its effective GID, allowing users to gain
unauthorized access using the effective GID that the daemon process
started with.
