Subject: WorldView vulnerability on IRIX
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
______________________________________________________________________________
SGI Security Advisory
Title: WorldView vulnerability
Number: 20000803-01-P
Date: August 21, 2002
Reference: SGI Security Advisory 20000803-01-A
Reference: CVE CAN-2000-0704
______________________________________________________________________________
- -----------------------
- --- Issue Specifics ---
- -----------------------
This bulletin is a followup to SGI Security Bulletin 20000803-01-A.
There is a root buffer overflow vulnerability in WorldView reported by
Shadow Penguin Security Org. on the FreeWnn Mailing List:
http://www.tomo.gr.jp/users/wnn/0008ml/msg00000.html (in Japanese)
and also reported by Omron Software on
http://www.omronsoft.co.jp/SP/support/pcunix/wnn/update1.html (in Japanese)
Besides the issues discussed in 20000803-01-A, there is an additional
vulnerability that is addressed by this advisory and the fixes noted herein.
WorldView is an optional purchased product used by SGI customers that
require foreign language support in IRIX. It is not installed by default on
base IRIX. Only SGI systems that have WorldView Japanese, Korean, and
Chinese installed are vulnerable to these issues.
The WorldView vulnerability can lead to root access through a buffer
overflow exploit. SGI has investigated the issue and recommends the
following steps for neutralizing the exposure.
The workaround involves changing ownership of the [jks]server to a non-
privileged user (see detail below). It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that these
measures be implemented on ALL vulnerable SGI systems.
These issues have been corrected with patches an in future releases of IRIX.
- --------------
- --- Impact ---
- --------------
The WorldView package is not installed by default on IRIX 6.5 systems.
To determine the version of IRIX you are running, execute the following
command:
# uname -R
That will return a result similar to the following:
# 6.5 6.5.16f
The first number ("6.5") is the release name, the second ("6.5.16f" in this
case) is the extended release name. The extended release name is the
"version" we refer to throughout this document.
To see if WorldView is installed, execute the following command:
# versions -b | grep WorldView
I WorldView_base_jp 05/06/1998 WorldView Base Japanese 6.5
I WorldView_books_jp 05/06/1998 WorldView Books: Japanese 6.5
I WorldView_fonts_jp1 05/06/1998 WorldView Fonts Japanese, 6.5
I WorldView_japanese 05/06/1998 WorldView Japanese 6.5
If the output is similar to that shown above, then WorldView is installed
and the system may be vulnerable.
This vulnerability was assigned the following CVE:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2000-0704
- ----------------------------
- --- Temporary Workaround ---
- ----------------------------
SGI understands that there are times when upgrading the operating system or
installing patches are inconvenient or not possible. In those instances, we
recommend the following workaround:
Japanese:
=======
o Step 1: Become the root user on the system.
% /bin/su -
Password:
#
o Step 2: Verify WorldView is installed as shown above. Only systems that have
WorldView installed are vulnerable.
o Step 3: If the WorldView is not currently needed, disable the jserver.
# chkconfig jserver off
Note: This will disable Japanese character input support.
o Step 3: Add the following lines to the files /etc/password and /etc/group
with a text editor like vi.
/etc/passwd:
wnn:*:127:127:Wnn System Account:/usr/lib/wnn6:/bin/sh
/etc/group:
wnn:*:127
o Step 4: Change the owner of the WNN related files.
# chown -R wnn.sys /usr/bin/Wnn6
# chown -R wnn.sys /usr/lib/wnn6
o Step 5: Verify that the file ownership changes have been made.
# ls -ls /usr/bin/Wnn6/jserver
1136 -r-sr-xr-x 1 wnn sys 578660
# ls -ls /usr/lib/wnn6/serverdefs
8 -rw-r--r-- 1 wnn sys 662
o Step 6: Reboot the system.
# reboot
Korean:
=======
o Step 1: Become the root user on the system and
disable kserver
(Example)
% /bin/su
Password:
#
# /etc/init.d/kserver stop
o Step 2: add the following lines to the files
/etc/password and /etc/group with a text editor
like vi.
/etc/password:
wnn:*:127:127:Wnn System Account:/usr/lib/wnn:/bin/sh
/etc/group:
wnn:*:127
o Step 3: Change the owner of Wnn related files.
# chown -R wnn.sys /usr/bin/kWnn4
# chown -R wnn.sys /usr/lib/wnn
o Step 4: Verify that the file ownership changes
have been made.
(Example)
# ls -ls /usr/bin/kWnn4/kserver
1136 -r-sr-xr-x 1 wnn sys 578660 Aug 14 15:24
# ls -ls /usr/lib/wnn/serverdefs
8 -rw-r--r-- 1 wnn sys 662 Aug 14 15:25
o Step 5: Reboot the system or restart kserver.
(Example)
# /etc/init.d/kserver start
# reboot
You may also refer to the file
/usr/bin/kWnn4/add_wnn_account.sh which is created
during installation. Furthermore, for server machines,
especially those not protected by a firewall, that do
not require Korean character input, please execute the
following command and then reboot the system.
# chkconfig kserver off
Chinese:
========
o Step 1: Become the root user on the system and
disable cserver
(Example)
% /bin/su
Password:
#
# /etc/init.d/cserver stop
o Step 2: add the following lines to the files
/etc/password and /etc/group with a text editor
like vi.
/etc/password:
wnn:*:127:127:Wnn System Account:/usr/lib/wnn:/bin/sh
/etc/group:
wnn:*:127
o Step 3: Change the owner of Wnn related files.
# chown -R wnn.sys /usr/bin/cWnn4
# chown -R wnn.sys /usr/lib/wnn
o Step 4: Verify that the file ownership changes
have been made.
(Example)
# ls -ls /usr/bin/cWnn4/cserver
1136 -r-sr-xr-x 1 wnn sys 578660 Aug 14 15:24
# ls -ls /usr/lib/wnn/serverdefs
8 -rw-r--r-- 1 wnn sys 662 Aug 14 15:25
o Step 5: Reboot the system or restart kserver.
(Example)
# /etc/init.d/cserver start
# reboot
You may also refer to the file
/usr/bin/cWnn4/add_wnn_account.sh which is created
during installation. Furthermore, for server machines,
especially those not protected by a firewall, that do
not require Chinese character input, please execute
the following command and then reboot the system.
# chkconfig cserver off

- --- Solution ---
- ----------------
SGI has provided a series of patches for these vulnerabilities. Our
recommendation is to upgrade to IRIX 6.5.16 when available, or install the
appropriate patch from the list below. Note that there are patches for
Maintenance and Feature streams, for three different languages. See the
