______________________________________________________________________________

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

    PHP is a well known and widely used web programming language.
    If a PHP script runs in "safe mode" several restrictions are applied
    to it including limits on execution of external programs.

    An attacker can pass shell meta-characters or sendmail(8) command line
    options via the 5th argument (introduced in version 4.0.5) of the mail()
    function to execute shell commands or control the behavior of sendmail(8).

    The CRLF injection vulnerabilities in fopen(), file(), header(), ...
    allow an attacker to bypass ACLs or trigger cross-side scripting.

    The mod_php4 package is not installed by default.
    A temporary fix is not known.

    Please note, that the following packages were rebuild too:
      - mod_php4-core
      - mod_php4-aolserver
      - mod_php4-devel
      - mod_php4-servlet
      - mod_php4-roxen

    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:

    - glibc
      Client applications which use res_search/res_nsreach and/or res_query()/
      res_nquery() of libresolv could trigger a DNS decoding error, a SEGV or
      leak information by reading beyond the end of a too small 'answer'
      buffer.
      The update packages are being built and tested. We will publish a security
      announcement as soon as they are ready.


    - ghostview/kghostview
      Bufferoverflows have recently been discovered in these packages. They allow
      attackers to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user
      viewing special crafted documents created by the attacker. New packgaes will
      soon be available on our ftp servers.

    - fetchmail
      Fetchmail contains remotely exploitable overflows in the mail header
      parsing functions. In depth discussion of these problems can be found at
      http://security.e-matters.de/advisories/032002.html.
      New packages will soon be available on our ftp servers.

    - kdelibs
      KDE's SSL implementation fails to check the trust chain in SSL
      certificates. This bug allows faking valid SSL certificates.
      New KDE packages will be available soon to fix this and other bugs.

    - ethereal
      Several potential security issues have been discovered in ethereal
      0.9.4. After this package is tested succesfuly it will be relased.

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 .
