______________________________________________________________________________

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

    The ISC (Internet Software Consortium) dhcp package is an imple-
    mentation of the "Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol" (DHCP).
    An internal source code audit done by ISC revealed several buffer
    overflows in the code which is responsible to handle dynamic DNS
    requests.
    These bugs allow an attacker to gain remote access to the dhcp
    server if the dynamic DNS feature is enabled.
    Dynamic DNS is not enabled by default on SuSE Linux.

    As temporary fix you can disable dynamic DNS support and restart your
    dhcp server. Otherwise install the new packages from our FTP servers.

    Please backup your lease file before updating the package.
    After the package update you have to restart the dhcp server
    This can be done by executing the following commands as root:
      - rcdhcpd restart
    or (for older versions):
      - rcdhcp restart

    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:

    - fam
      SuSE Versions < 8.0 are shipping a vulnerable version of fam
      which allows unprivileged users to determine filenames of
      group root.
      New packages are available on our FTP servers.

    - xpdf
      An integer overflow in pdftops may lead to system compromise.
      New packages are available on our FTP servers..

    - libmcrypt
      Several buffer overflows in libmcrypt were discovered by Ilia
      Alshanetsky. The buffer overflows can lead to system compromise.
      New packages are currently being build.

    - gfxboot
      Since SuSE 8.1 the bootloader lilo is replaced by grub.
      Grub's password authentication can be bypassed.
      New packages will be released soon.

    - mod_php4
      A buffer overflow in the wordwrap() function has been reported.
      New packages will be prepared and should be available on our ftp
      servers soon.

    - wget
      A buffer overflow in wget's url_filename function was found.
      This buffer overflow can be triggered by long URLs.
      New packages are currently being build and will be released
      soon.

    - IMP
      The web front-end of IMP is vulnerable to a SQL injection attack.
      New packages are currently being build and will be released
      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 .


  - SuSE runs two security mailing lists to which any interested party may
    subscribe:

    suse-security@...e.com
        -   general/linux/SuSE security discussion.
            All SuSE security announcements are sent to this list.
            To subscribe, send an email to
                <suse-security-subscribe@...e.com>.

    suse-security-announce@...e.com
        -   SuSE's announce-only mailing list.
            Only SuSE's security announcements are sent to this list.
            To subscribe, send an email to
                <suse-security-announce-subscribe@...e.com>.
