_____________________________________________________________________________________________
A security hole was discovered in the package mentioned above. Please
update the package in your installation as soon as possible.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
1. Problem Summary(From the BugTraq database of securityfocus.com, id#2377)
As designed, the software makes it possible for a user to remotely
access network statistics using cgi scripts and HTTP FORM
methods. When queried, the cgi accesses analog, and outputs
statistics to a web page. Due to a buffer overflow in analog, and
improper checking of input by the cgi program, it is possible for a
user to supply a long ALIAS field to the analog program, which will
result in a buffer overflow.
2. Impact(Also from the BugTraq database, id#2377)
A user can remotely execute code and execute commands with privileges equal
to the httpd process.
3. Solution
First, uninstall the package analog-form using the command:
rpm -e analog-form-3.0-1.i386.rpm, or whatever version of analog-form
you are currently running
Then, update the analog package from our ftp server by running the following
command:
rpm -Uvh ftp_path_to_filename
Where ftp_path_to_filename is the following:
ftp://ftp.turbolinux.com/pub/updates/6.0/security/analog-4.16-2.i386.rpm
The source RPM can be downloaded here:
ftp://ftp.turbolinux.com/pub/updates/6.0/SRPMS/analog-4.16-2.src.rpm
**Note: You must rebuild and install the RPM if you choose to download
and install the SRPM. Simply installing the SRPM alone WILL NOT CLOSE
THE SECURITY HOLE.
Please verify the MD5 checksums of the updates before you install:

___________________________________________________________________________
A security hole was discovered in the package mentioned above.
Please update the packages in your installation as soon as possible.
___________________________________________________________________________
1. Problem Summary(From the BugTraq advisory at securityfocus.com, id#1634)
A format string vulnerability exists in the locale subsystem. The locale
subsystem consists of databases that contain language and country spe-
cific information. Whenever a program needs to display a message to a
user, it accesses a database within the subsystem and retrieves the proper
language-specific string using the original message as the search key.
The string(s) retrieved by the program are displayed using printf().
It is possible for an attacker to control the output by building and
installing a custom database.
2. Impact(Also from the BugTraq advisory on securityfocus.com)
An attacker can execute arbitrary code as a user with elevated
privileges(root) using almost any setuid program on the
vulnerable system.
In some operating systems, it is also possible to exploit the problem
remotely using the environment variable passing off options to telnetd,
but the attacker must first install his customized database onto
the target host.
3. Solution

___________________________________________________________________________
A security hole has been discovered in this package. Please update
the packages in your installation as soon as possible.
___________________________________________________________________________
1. Problem Summary
Ncurses contains buffer overflow vulnerabilities. It searches for term-
cap entries in a file called .terminfo in the home directory. If it
exists, it makes string copies of data in the file to local buffers in
the process' stack. The copy process is insecure because it does not
check to ensure that the amount of bytes copied does not exceed the pre-
determined buffer size. Therefore, an attacker can easily create a
.terminfo file with excessive data. The excess data would overwrite
bytes on the stack beyond the defined boundary of the buffer when copied.
2. Impact
Attackers may be able to exploit setuid or setgid programs linked to
ncurses and elevate their privileges.
A program linked to ncurses isn't immediately vulnerable. It must use
certain functions within ncurses in some way in order for the vulnera-
bility to be exploitable.
3. Solution
Update each package from our ftp server by running the following command:
rpm -Uvh ftp_path_to_filename
Where ftp_path_to_filename is the following:
ftp://ftp.turbolinux.com/pub/updates/6.0/security/ncurses-5.2-2.i386.rpm

A security hole has been discovered in the package squid. Please update
this package in your installation as soon as possible.
___________________________________________________________________________
1. Problem Summary(From the BugTraq database at securityfocus.com, id#2184)
A /tmp file race condition vulnerability exists. Squid can be
set up to send emails notifying the administrator of any updates.
Whenever the email is created, files are created insecurely
in the /tmp directory and the pre-existence of these files is
not queried. Usually, the file creations occur when the system clock is
reporting an incorrect time or a development version of squid is used.
Therefore, it is possible for a user with malicious motives to guess the
handle of a future /tmp file, and create a symbolic link to a file writ-
able by the UID of the squid process, thus overwriting a file owned by
the squid user, or appending to and corrupting the file.
2. Solution
Update the package from our ftp server by running the following command:
rpm -Uvh ftp_path_to_filename

Package: vixie-cron
Vulnerable Packages: All Turbolinux versions previous to 3.0.1-46
Date: 05/02/2001 5:00 PDT
Affected TurboLinux versions: TL Server 6.5,
TL 6.1 WorkStation,
All TurboLinux versions
6.0.5 and earlier
TurboLinux Advisory ID#: TLSA2001012

_____________________________________________________________________________________________
A security hole has been discovered in the package vixie-cron. Please update
the packages in your installation as soon as possible.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
1. Problem Summary
There is a buffer overflow vulnerability associated with the crontab function.
When crontab
determines the name of the user calling the crontab function, it stores this name
in a 20 byte buffer using the strcpy() function, which does no bounds checking.
The
command "useradd" accepts more than 20 characters. Therefore, a username greater
than
20 characters will crash a system when passed to the crontab function.
2. Impact
It is possible for a local user to gain elevated privileges.
3. Solution
Update the packages from our ftp server by running the following command:
rpm -Uvh ftp_path_to_filename
Where ftp_path_to_filename is the following:
ftp://ftp.turbolinux.com/pub/updates/6.0/security/vixie-cron-3.0.1-46.i386.rpm
The source RPM can be downloaded here:

TurboLinux Security Announcement
Adore Worm
Vulnerable TurboLinux platforms: TL Workstation 6.1
Turbolinux Server versions 6.0.5 and earlier
TurboLinux Advisory ID#: TLSA2001017
References: http://www.securityfocus.com/headlines/10964
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Although we have not received any security alerts about Turbolinux systems being
infected
by the Adore Worm, the Turbolinux platforms mentioned above can be susceptible to it.
Please
take the proper precaution by updating the packages in your installation as soon as
possible.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
1. Problem Summary
Adore is a variant of the Ramen worm that creates a backdoor to a Linux system. It
then sends information about the compromised system to four email addresses: two
in the
United States and two in China. The worm gets its name from the username
associated
with each email address: adore9000 or adore9001.
To create this backdoor, the Adore worm seeks out four flaws associated with the
packages
nfs-utils, wu-ftpd, LPRng, and bind.
The four security flaws sought out by the Adore worm are:
a. wu-ftpd: Buffer overrun; due to improper bounds checking, SITE EXEC may
enable remote root execution, without having any local user
account
required.
b. nfs-utils: Flaw in the rpc.statd daemon can lead to remote root break in.
Please note that the nfs-utils package will replace the
packages knfsd and knfsd-client. The package knfsd-client
contains the rpc.statd daemon
c. LPRng: Vulnerability due to incorrect usage of the syslog() function.
Local and remote users can send string-formatting operators to the
print-
er daemon to corrupt the daemon's execution, potentially gaining
root
access.
d. bind: Buffer overflow in transaction signature (TSIG) handling code.
This vulnerability may allow an attacker to execute code with the
same
privileges as the BIND server. Because BIND is typically run by a
superuser account, the execution would occur with superuser
privileges.
Once in a system, it replaces an application called PS--used by administrators to
list the
currently running programs on a system--with a copy that will list all programs
except the
worm. It also sends important system files to the four email addresses. After
infecting a
machine and sending information about the computer through e-mail, the worm waits
until
4:02 a.m. and then deletes all its files, except the backdoor.
2. Solution
Update the packages from our ftp server by running the following command:
rpm -Uvh ftp_path_to_filename
Where ftp_path_to_filename is the following:
ftp://ftp.turbolinux.com/pub/updates/6.0/security/nfs-utils-0.2.1-7.i386.rpm

Please
take the proper precaution by updating the packages in your installation as soon as
possible.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
1. Problem Summary
Ramen is a Linux-based Internet worm that has infiltrated web servers running Red
Hat 6.2
or Red Hat 7.0 Linux using three security breaches associated with the packages
nfs-utils,
wu-ftpd, and LPRng. Once the worm detects the vulnerabilities, it exploits them,
copies
itself onto the server, and takes over root access rights. The Ramen worm can
damage web-
related and system files. It defaces the web site and modifies the index.html
file, ul-
timately replacing it with the words:
"RameN Crew" and "Hackers looooooooooooooooove noodles."
The main page of the web site displays the message "This site powered by" and a
picture
of a Top Ramen Noodles package. According to an advisory put out by CERT, it can
also
create denial of service attacks if altered or when destroyed files are not
available.
A system compromised by the worm is at high risk for "being party to attacks on
other
Internet sites."
The three security breaches sought out by the Ramen worm are as follows:
a. wu-ftpd: Buffer overrun; due to improper bounds checking, SITE EXEC may
enable remote root execution, without having any local user
account
required.
b. nfs-utils: Flaw in the rpc.statd daemon can lead to remote root break in.
Please note that the nfs-utils package will replace the
packages knfsd and knfsd-client. The package knfsd-client
contains the rpc.statd daemon
c. LPRng: Vulnerability due to incorrect usage of the syslog() function.
Local and remote users can send string-formatting operators to the
print-
er daemon to corrupt the daemon's execution, potentially gaining
root
access.
