                        SuSE Security Announcement

        Package:                sudo
        Announcement-ID:        SuSE-SA:2002:002
        Date:                   Mon Jan 14 13:00:00 CET 2002
        Affected SuSE versions: 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3
        Vulnerability Type:     local privilege escalation
        Severity (1-10):        5
        SuSE default package:   yes
        Other affected systems: all recent sudo installations

    Content of this advisory:
        1) security vulnerability resolved: Sendmail invocation as root.
           problem description, discussion, solution and upgrade information
        2) pending vulnerabilities, solutions, workarounds
        3) standard appendix (further information)

______________________________________________________________________________

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

    The SuSE Security Team discovered a bug in the sudo program which is
    installed setuid to root. Attackers may trick "sudo" to log failed sudo
    invocations executing the sendmail program with root-privileges and not
    completely cleaned environment.
    Depending on the installed mail-package this may enable attackers to
    execute code as root. This is the case for at least the postfix mailer.
    Other mailers may be exploited in a similar way.
    This bug has been fixed by having "sudo" invoke the sendmail command with
    user-privileges instead.
    Please update your sudo package regardless of the mail-packages you are
    using. As a temporary workaround you may remove the s-bit from sudo with
    the "chmod -s `which sudo`" command, which will disable the sudo
    functionality.

    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.

2)  Pending vulnerabilities in SuSE Distributions and Workarounds:

    - stunnel
    A format string error in the stunnel ssl wrapper was reported on
    bugtraq in December 2001. SuSE Linux 7.2 and 7.3 as well as SLES7
    contain the stunnel package in Version 3.14, which should be
    vulnerable to the format string bug according to the reports on
    bugtraq. However, the responsible portion of code does not expose the
    format string problem with calls to fdprintf(). Therefore, SuSE
    stunnel packages are not vulnerable to the security problem.

    - thttpd
    The thttpd daemon contained several off-by-one overflows. Due to internal
    organization of the variables affected by these overflows, they seem
    not exploitable. However, these bugs have been fixed. Please update to
    the newest thttpd packages.

    - pine
    The popular mail client "pine" was found vulnerable to an attack where
    shell metacharacters inside an URL could be used to execute arbitrary
    commands if pine passes the URL to an external viewer on the
    commandline. The pine packages on SuSE products are not vulnerable to
    this weakness because they contain a patch that works around this
    problem since it is not new.

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 [email protected]),
       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 uninstalled 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 "[email protected]" upon installation or upgrade, provided that
           the package gpg is installed. The file containing the public key
           is placed at the toplevel directory of the first CD (pubring.gpg)
           and at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/pubring.gpg-build.suse.de .
