FreeBSD-SA-01:15 Security Advisory FreeBSD, Inc. Topic: tinyproxy contains remote vulnerabilities Category: ports Module: tinyproxy Announced: 2001-01-29 Credits: |CyRaX| <cyrax@pkcrew.org.> Affects: Ports collection prior to the correction date. Corrected: 2001-01-22 Vendor status: Updated version released FreeBSD only: NO I. Background tinyproxy is a lightweight http proxy. II. Problem Description The tinyproxy port, versions prior to 1.3.3a, contains remote vulnerabilities: due to a heap overflow, malicious remote users can cause a denial-of-service by crashing the proxy. Additionally, the attacker may potentially cause arbitrary code to be executed as the user running tinyproxy. The tinyproxy port is not installed by default, nor is it "part of FreeBSD" as such: it is part of the FreeBSD ports collection, which contains over 4500 third-party applications in a ready-to-install format. The ports collections shipped with FreeBSD 3.5.1 and 4.2 contain this problem since it was discovered after the releases. FreeBSD makes no claim about the security of these third-party applications, although an effort is underway to provide a security audit of the most security-critical ports. III. Impact Malicious remote users may cause a denial-of-service and potentially cause arbitrary code to be executed. If you have not chosen to install the tinyproxy port/package, then your system is not vulnerable to this problem. IV. Workaround Deinstall the tinyproxy port/package, if you have installed it. V. Solution One of the following: 1) Upgrade your entire ports collection and rebuild the tinyproxy port. 2) Deinstall the old package and install a new package dated after the correction date, obtained from: [i386] ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-3-stable/www/tinyproxy-1.3.3a.tgz ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4-stable/www/tinyproxy-1.3.3a.tgz ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5-current/www/tinyproxy-1.3.3a.tgz [alpha] Packages are not automatically generated for the alpha architecture at this time due to lack of build resources. 3) download a new port skeleton for the tinyproxy port from: http://www.freebsd.org/ports/ and use it to rebuild the port. 4) Use the portcheckout utility to automate option (3) above. The portcheckout port is available in /usr/ports/devel/portcheckout or the package can be obtained from: ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-3-stable/devel/portcheckout-2.0.tgz ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4-stable/devel/portcheckout-2.0.tgz ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/alpha/packages-4-stable/devel/portcheckout-2.0.tgz ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5-current/devel/portcheckout-2.0.tgz ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/alpha/packages-5-current/devel/portcheckout-2.0.tgz -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (FreeBSD) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iQCVAwUBOnXgJ1UuHi5z0oilAQHo6wQAj3xyGIyobs/grdxqowjFMcpE86ZxuguC /FzN9pNGbj2/tRv+5XWALJs4dl5mfqNruxeNlFy7uNZAoLztRd5DxuPa/KLJBh3R NYUFjCBzBbjMDZzSOQSpRWwMrs8o/y5qWgAEdVQXqTmXPrKKnbiIBpAYRX/9pzGW s199naiw8yM= =M4Q1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
