SCO Security Advisory
Subject: OpenLinux: OpenSSH: multiple buffer handling problems
Advisory number: CSSA-2003-027.0
Issue date: 2003 October 02
Cross reference: sr884647 fz528312 erg712429 CERT VU#333628 CERT VU#602204 CAN-2003-0693 CAN-2003-0695 CAN-2003-0682 CAN-2003-0786
______________________________________________________________________________
1. Problem Description
Several buffer management errors and memory bugs are corrected
by this patch.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the following names to these issues. CAN-2003-0693,
CAN-2003-0695, CAN-2003-0682, CAN-2003-0786.
The CERT Coordination Center has assigned the following names
VU#333628, and VU#602204.
CERT VU#333628 / CAN-2003-0693: A "buffer management error" in
buffer_append_space of buffer.c for OpenSSH before 3.7 may allow
remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by causing an incorrect
amount of memory to be freed and corrupting the heap, a different
vulnerability than CAN-2003-0695.
CAN-2003-0695: Multiple "buffer management errors" in OpenSSH before
3.7.1 may allow attackers to cause a denial of service or execute
arbitrary code using (1) buffer_init in buffer.c, (2) buffer_free
in buffer.c, or (3) a separate function in channels.c, a different
vulnerability than CAN-2003-0693.
CAN-2003-0682: "Memory bugs" in OpenSSH 3.7.1 and earlier, with
unknown impact, a different set of vulnerabilities than CAN-2003-0693
and CAN-2003-0695.
CERT VU#602204 / CAN-2003-0786: Portable OpenSSH versions 3.7p1
and 3.7.1p1 contain multiple vulnerabilities in the new PAM
code. At least one of these bugs is remotely exploitable (under
a non-standard configuration, with privsep disabled).
2. Vulnerable Supported Versions
System Package
----------------------------------------------------------------------
OpenLinux 3.1.1 Server prior to openssh-3.7.1p2-1.i386.rpm
prior to openssh-askpass-3.7.1p2-1.i386.rpm
prior to openssh-server-3.7.1p2-1.i386.rpm
OpenLinux 3.1.1 Workstation prior to openssh-3.7.1p2-1.i386.rpm
prior to openssh-askpass-3.7.1p2-1.i386.rpm
prior to openssh-server-3.7.1p2-1.i386.rpm
3. Solution
The proper solution is to install the latest packages. Many
customers find it easier to use the Caldera System Updater, called
cupdate (or kcupdate under the KDE environment), to update these
packages rather than downloading and installing them by hand.
