Re: Security advisory: uw-imap - 3 attachments
uw-imap (whose maintainer, AFAICS, has yet to respond to reply to
Corinna's message) is vulnerable to remote overflow of a buffer in the
IMAP server leading to execution of arbitrary code.
The only solution is to upgrade to 2004g (current Cygwin release is
2002e!).
I built 2004g and it nearly builds ootb.
The only patch necessary is for CRAM-MD5 auth. This patch is well known
and has been used for the 2002e version also. All other patches that
have been necessary for 2002e have already been integrated in the 2004g
release.
I could not post to the cygwin applications list via gmane, so I reply
to the main list. Apologies if this not the way it should be done.
I´d be glad to assist the maintainer in building a 2004g package for
cygwin.
I´m facing two minor issues:
- the first is described here in detail:
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-11/msg01137.html
it has always been there for me (even with the 2002e package), so I
don´t think it is a new problem
- second, when I use dmail from .procmailrc, it causes a stackdump
at the end of the delivery process. But all logs are written fine and
all mail gets delivered, so it is more a cosmetic thing (IMHO)
Attached you find 3 patches:
1) imap-2004c1.cram-md5-auth.patch
It is necessary for cram-md5 to work.
2) imap-2004c1.mbx-by-default.patch (optional)
Local mailboxes are created in MBX format by default, which allows
simultanous rw access by multiple sessions. New mail has to be spooled
to a mbox format mailbox in /var/spool/mail/user, but is transfered to
~/Mail/INBOX by UW-IMAP immediately.
3) imap-2004c1.mailsubdir-Mail.patch (optional)
Mail is stored in the users ~/Mail folder.
The last two patches make uw-imap behave more compliant to modern UNIX
standards and more capable. These are not real patches, but
configuration options for uw-imap. If you migrate from an older version
of uw-imap that has been configured differently, you have to move the
mailbox files to the new folder localtions.

Christian

Re: scponly for chrooted sftp server in cygwin
I still get the following error during the make phase.
gcc -g -O2 -I. -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H
-DDEBUGFILE='/usr/local/etc/scponly/debuglev
el' -o helper.o -c helper.c
helper.c:174: warning: passing arg 1 of `strdup' makes pointer from
integer with
out a cast
helper.c:179: warning: passing arg 1 of `strcmp' makes pointer from
integer with
out a cast
So do I. I simply didnt mind.
During the install phase the script attempted to set some file permisissions
as follows:
${INSTALL} -o 0 -g 0 scponly ${bindir}/scponly
${INSTALL} -o 0 -g 0 -m 0644 scponly.8 ${mandir}/man8/scponly.8
${INSTALL} -o 0 -g 0 -m 0644 debuglevel ${DEBUGFILE}
This depends on your UID setup in /etc/passwd and /etc/group.
Ive best experiences giving UID 0 to root and GID 0 to the root group. If you
dont have any user or group with those UID/GID, the install call will fail.
I changed the make file to:
${INSTALL} -o SYSTEM -g SYSTEM scponly ${bindir}/scponly
${INSTALL} -o SYSTEM -g SYSTEM -m 0644 scponly.8
${mandir}/man8/scponly.8
${INSTALL} -o SYSTEM -g SYSTEM -m 0644 debuglevel ${DEBUGFILE}
And it worked fine.
That should be ok. Id prefer to have root/root as the owner, but SYSTEM should
work also.
I tried using the setup_chroot.sh script but could not get it to work. You
mentioned an alternative make tool for setting up chrooted users. Or
instructions on how to manually set it up.
To be honest, I didnt find it anymore. Maybe there was a much easier script
available with an earlier version of scponly or rssh.
However, you may setup you chroot cage on your own:
1) create a base folder (your new root) with the following subfolders
/cygdrive/c/temp/sftp:{528}:$ ls -R
.:
bin/ etc/ lib/ pub/ usr/
./bin:
chmod.exe*cygintl-1.dll* id.exe* pwd.exe*
chown.exe*cygintl-2.dll* ln.exe* rm.exe*
cygcrypto-0.9.7.dll* cygwin1.dll*ls.exe* rmdir.exe*
cygcrypto.dll*groups* mkdir.exe* scp.exe*
cygiconv-2.dll* groups.exe* mv.exe* sftp-server.exe*
./etc:
group* passwd*
./lib:
libcygwin.a*
./pub:
./usr:
The passwd and group in the chroot only need to contain the users who will use
the chroot. These files are not used for authentification, but only for UID/GID
to name mapping.
2) Setup chroot in your *regular* /etc/passwd for users to be chrooted
my_chr_user:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:2019:545:my_chr_user,U-WE4\my_chr_user,
S-1-5-21-zzz-xxx-yyy-2019:/root/path/of/chroot:/usr/sbin/scponlyc
3) You may need to rebuild scponlyc
The path setting for sftp-server needs to match your installation.
So if sftp-server.exe resides in the /bin folder in your chroot, you need to
setup config.h:
#define PROG_SFTP_SERVER /bin/sftp-server
When the user logs in, scponlyc chroots and start sftp-server afterwards.
I prefer a small shellscript using rsync to keep the files in my chroot up to
date when I update cygwin.
#!/bin/sh
rsync -ulpogtW --existing /bin/* /root/path/of/chroot/bin
rsync -ulpogtW --existing /usr/sbin/* /root/path/of/chroot/bin
rsync -ulpogtW --existing /usr/lib/* /root/path/of/chroot/lib
This script freshens already existing files in the chroot.
This should enable you to setup the chroot manually.
Regards,
Christian

Re: Chrooted OpenSSH for Windows (rssh sftp cygwin)
John M. L. john at recaffeinated.com writes: I've been trying to implement an sftp server using OpenSSH for Windows (http://sshwindows.sourceforge.net). I haven't found much recent discussion on th topic of running OpenSSH in a chrooted jail on cygwin, but the following messages from a year ago have shed some light on the topic: I solved exactly the same problem using scponly (http://www.sublimation.org/scponly/) . The current version compiles easily under recent Cygwin releases. You only have to modify the Makefile to include some libraries explicitly. Id always try to have a binary as a chroot stub and not a shell script. If you use a shell script, you need bash and several supplemental programs in the chroot jail which all may contain security leaks. The tool that I used has a make option to prepare the chroot jail. It copies all required files to the jail. So you may learn from it even if you decide to stay with rssh. Youve to make another decision: Do you only need to support sftp protocol version 2 or also older versions. In the first case it should be sufficient to have sftp-server.exe in the chroot jail (plus a passwd group). In the second case, youll need to have things like bash, ls, rm and others again. Hope this helps a bit!

uw-imap Cygwin secrets revealed, at least a bit!
The initial problem was: - uw-imap on cygwin ran well with Outlook Express - but hung upon connection when using Outlook 2003 In the end I made it to get it work with the following workaround: In inetd.conf, I dont start the daemon directly, but use the following wrapper script. #!/bin/sh tee NUL | /usr/sbin/imapd This slows down communication a bit, but I can connect and had no more hangs up till now. So the original problem seems to be timing specific. My guesses are: - the cygwin port of uw-imap may have a problem here. I couldnt find any similar error reports for any other platform uw-imap is running on. - cygwin causes the problem itself - inetd is out of the line since I also tested with xinetd and had similar effects Id be glad to assist one of the gurus going deeper into this. Even more, Id like to invest more time again to debug it myself, but my gdb knowledge is non-existing. If someone would show me how to start, the I definitely would do so. My concern is that usual debugging approaches will fail because of the timing related cause of the problem. Thanks to all of you so far!

Re: UW-IMAP Problem with Outlook 2003

env -i specialities on cygwin
If one wants to start a new process without an environment, env -i will be the choice. In the cygwin enviroment this leads to problems if /bin or /usr/bin are not added to the PATH in the new process. In this case the cygwin1.dll is not in the path and will not be found be the process that just tries to start. This is true for all other DLLs that may be used by the cygwin executable. There are two options to avoid this: 1) Modify all shell scripts that use env -i to include /usr/bin in the PATH when porting appications to cygwin. This means lots of manual work since shell scripts are often not considered to be dynamic in autoconf/automake runs. 2) Modify the env binary to always include /usr/bin to the path, even if the -i switch is specified. But this will not just allow access to the DLLs but to all executables in the same directory. This may raise security problems. A third solution would be to have all cygwin DLLs in a separate directory where no executables reside. But this would be a more dramatic change to the distribution. Any comments are welcome!

Re: cygrunsrv taking near all cpu time
Gregory Borota [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]: From your message I understand the problem is caused by Panda Antivirus not cygrunsrv That seems to me more a philosophical question. The development team may decide if they consider it worth the time looking into this. Just to complete what I found out: I wasn´t sure it it may only be a cygrunsrv issue. So I replaced cygrunsrv by the microsoft tool srvany to run sshd. With this configuration sshd was the process on 100% cpu load. So it seems to be specific to the cygwin runtim dll and not to cygrunsrv only.

Issues with NOD32 and fetchmail
If you want to use fetchmail and use the NOD32 virus scanner, make sure that you set NOD32 IMON service for email scanning to the least intrusive stage (Highest compatibility).

Re: cygrunsrv taking near all cpu time
- Original Message - From: Larry Hall cygwin-lh at cygwin.com 1. Turn off your anti-virus and see if that helps. I had exaclty the same issue with Panda Antivirus. It happened with Panda 2004 and with the recend version of the old release, I think 2.0.5. Older versions worked fine (2.0.4) but will get updated automatically. After playing a bit around with setting dependencies on services, I had no success and gave up. In the end I dropped Panda and moved to NOD32 which runs very well up till now. PS: It is definitely cygrunsrv that causes the problem. I have few daemons running (sshd, fetchmail) and all had the same problem.

mutt 1,4,1-2 problem with snapshot 2004-01-23
After installing snapshot 2004-01-23, mutt looks for its .muttrc only under .muttrc-1.4.1i and it looks only for /etc/Muttrc-1.4.1i and no longer for /etc/Muttrc. Since this is the first time that I used a snapshot, maybe I made some mistake installng it. But as far as I see, the problem is due to the snapshot.

RE: Maildir Support broken with Mutt 1.4.1?
Maildirs have never actually worked properly because they use filenames which are not POSIX compatible, and were apparently specifically designed to cause grief for Windows and Mac systems. Compounding this problem, I erroneously suggested people use Maildirs in older versions, before I knew the tragedy of Maildirs. Probably what's happened is that mutt's error checking has been improved, so you're now getting an error message when it would just silently fail before. So, to sum up: 1. Don't use Maildir, use mbox. Gary R. Van Sickle And that is exactly what I did. Since I do not really need Maildir, this was the easiest solution for me. Thank´s for you explanation of the topic!

Re: perl localtime returns gmttime

Re: Maildir Support broken with Mutt 1.4.1?
Unfortunately the mutt version 1.4-1 doesn't find the cygcrypto.dll and cygssl.dll while there are only cygcrypto-0.9.7.dll and cygssl-0-9-7.dll. If I rename these dlls mutt dumps and I didn't test any further. But I would like to use a cygwin-supported mutt with maildir support to. Gruss Olaf Föllinger At least this works in my installation. I´ve cygcrypto-0.9.7.dll, cygcrypt- 0.dll and cygcrypto.dll in my bin directory. Maybe mutt 1.4-1 uses an older version? My cygcrypto.dll is dated 11 Apr 2003.

Maildir Support broken with Mutt 1.4.1?
After upgrading to Mutt 1.4.1 I was no longer able to access my emails properly. As soon as a new mail arrived in the main folder (inbox), I could not even close mutt properly. It always gives me the error rename file or folder does not exist (error=2) in the status bar. It seems to me that Mutt tries to move the message from the new to the cur subfolder or so and fails with this operation. Downgrading to Mutt 1.4 solved the problem for me. I use Mutt together with procmail in Maildir mode. A search for previous postings showed, that there were already similar problems with an older version. The problem was that the filenames of the emails may contain characters like : that are allowed on POSIX systems, but not on Windows. Is it possible that a cygwin specific patch has not been applied to the most recent 1.4.1 version?

Squid Patch for Cygwin 1.5
After some investigation I found an interim solution to get the current cygwin squid version (2.4-STABLE7) working with the new 1.5 DLL series. This has been tested and works for me with 1.5.5, but should work with all 1.5 versions. A posting from Tom Oehser gave the necessary input: The problem is that squid assumes a maximum number of file handles avalable (RLIMIT_NOFILE) of 8192. The autoconf test does not work on cygwin, so it always returns the maximum value. This has always been that way on the cygwin platform. But with version 1.5, there are fewer ressources available (less than 8192) and this causes squid to fail. So if you build squid on your own, just change the include file with the autoconf constants to use a smaller number (about 3000 works fine), after you did the ./configure and before you do make. If you only want to use the binary distribution, follow these steps. This only applies to squid 2.4.STABLE7-1. The file squid.exe is dated to 16.7.2002 and has 482.816 bytes. Now use the hex editor of you choice and open squid.exe (or, preferrably, a copy of it). At offset 0074420h you find the DWORD 00 20 00 00 (representing 8192 decimal). It is the second occurance of the DWORD if you search in REVERSE order from the end of the file. Now change this to DWORD 00 0C 00 00. Save the file and it should work. Don´t forget, this is just an interim solution. So let´s wait for the next real release of the squid package.

Re: Segmentation Fault of ssh3.7.1 with cygwin1.5.5-1 in W95
