If you want to start a hot flame war around here, abuse just doesn't
cut it.  Post a message like, 'Fix this or I'll change to another
distribution,' or, 'You didn't help me,' that'll get the hackles up
(judging by the wars on deb-user, anyway).

Apache 1.3.x shared memory scoreboard vulnerabilities

2002-10-04 Thread Domonkos Czinke
Title: Apache 1.3.x shared memory scoreboard vulnerabilities






Damn :/

Domonkos Czinke

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

iDEFENSE Security Advisory 10.03.2002
Apache 1.3.x shared memory scoreboard vulnerabilities

16:00 GMT, October 3, 2002


I. BACKGROUND

The Apache Software Foundation's HTTP Server is an effort to develop
and maintain an open-source HTTP server for modern operating systems
including Unix and Windows NT. The goal of this project is to provide
a secure, efficient and extensible server that provides HTTP services
in sync with the current HTTP standards. More details about it are
available at http://httpd.apache.org .

II. DESCRIPTION

Apache HTTP Server contains a vulnerability in its shared memory
scoreboard. Attackers who can execute commands under the Apache UID
can either send a (SIGUSR1) signal to any process as root, in most
cases killing the process, or launch a local denial of service (DoS)
attack.

III. ANALYSIS

Exploitation requires execute permission under the Apache UID. This
can be obtained by any local user with a legitimate Apache scripting
resource (ie: PHP, Perl), exploiting a vulnerability in web-based
applications written in the above example languages, or through the
use of some other local/remote Apache exploit.

Once such a status is attained, the attacker can then attach to the
httpd daemon's 'scoreboard', which is stored in a shared memory
segment owned by Apache. The attacker can then cause a DoS condition
on the system by continuously filling the table with null values and
causing the server to spawn new children.

The attacker also has the ability to send any process a SIGUSR1
signal as root. This is accomplished by continuously overwriting the
parent[].pid and parent[].last_rtime segments within the scoreboard
to the pid of the target process and a time in the past. When the
target pid receives the signal SIGUSR1, it will react according to
how it is designed to manage the signal. According to the man page
(man 7 signal), if the signal is un-handled then the default action
is to terminate:

...
SIGUSR1 30,10,16 A User-defined signal 1
...
The letters in the Action column have the following meanings:

A Default action is to terminate the process.
...

iDEFENSE successfully terminated arbitrary processes, including those
that kicked people off the system.

IV. DETECTION

Apache HTTP Server 1.3.x, running on all applicable Unix platforms,
is affected.

V. VENDOR FIX/RESPONSE

Apache HTTP Server 1.3.27 fixes this problem. It should be available
on October 3 at http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/ .

VI. CVE INFORMATION

The Mitre Corp.'s Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) Project
has assigned the identification number CAN-2002-0839 to this issue.

VII. DISCLOSURE TIMELINE

8/27/2002 Issue disclosed to iDEFENSE

the first ip address seems to be relaying across interbusiness.it, and the 
second may well be an unallocated ip address belong to super.net.sg

unless you can think of a good reason why anyone should think they have a 
legitimate reason to connect to you in that manner, you might want to get in 
touch with both of those to let them know what's going on--especially 
super.net, since they run one of the main gateways in singapore and will 
surely want to know about anyone spoofing their ip's.

i just tried an ftp connection to you and an anonymous login was rejected, so 
it's unlikely that anybody has done any harm there.

the incidents in your sendmail logs are probably part of a port scan. you 
should make sure that the rest of your system is solid.

Re: Debian (Unstable) problem with SSH and PAM

2002-10-04 Thread Roger Ward

What? You're a coder? A sysadmin? Why do you need help setting up an ISP on your 
MODEM, setting up postfix, and also with package version control?  All things debian 
provides easily, through dpkg, the debian-policy, and its inclusion of documentation 
in the base distribution.

Please don't flood this mailing list with useless crap blasting us for reasons far 
above your head. And don't try to appear like a experienced sysadmin giving out your 
advice like it is god-given word.  Some people find your nature offensive, while 
others doing a little bit of research find your personality quite amusing :)

DO support whichever distribution you like best, but DON'T claim to be a sysadmin 
unless you are. Some of us get paid for it and actually are.

Re: Report on last cmd

2002-10-04 Thread Ted Parvu

Not sure that your sendmail problem is related to this issue but...

It looks like you have an anonymous ftp account enabled on your machine. 
Considering that these IPs are logging in for less than one minute I
would venture to guess that they are scanning IPs looking for
anonymous ftp accounts that they can go back to later and use in
whatever way they want to.

If you do not require outside anon ftp access I would suggest you block
the ftp port along with all the other ports that do not require outside
access.  

Also, if you are not in need of anon ftp, disable it. 

If you don't need ftp at all, disable the ftpd demon.

I have noted that it is pretty common to see this sort of activity on a
system with anon ftp enabled.

have fun,

Ted

 What? You're a coder? A sysadmin? Why do you need help setting up an ISP
on your MODEM, setting up postfix, and also with package version control?
All things debian provides easily, through dpkg, the debian-policy, and its
inclusion of documentation in the base distribution.

 Please don't flood this mailing list with useless crap blasting us for
reasons far above your head. And don't try to appear like a experienced
sysadmin giving out your advice like it is god-given word.  Some people find
your nature offensive, while others doing a little bit of research find your
personality quite amusing :)

 DO support whichever distribution you like best, but DON'T claim to be a
sysadmin unless you are. Some of us get paid for it and actually are.

 Not sure that your sendmail problem is related to this issue but...

 It looks like you have an anonymous ftp account enabled on your machine.
 Considering that these IPs are logging in for less than one minute I
 would venture to guess that they are scanning IPs looking for
 anonymous ftp accounts that they can go back to later and use in
 whatever way they want to.

 If you do not require outside anon ftp access I would suggest you block
 the ftp port along with all the other ports that do not require outside
 access.

 Also, if you are not in need of anon ftp, disable it.

 If you don't need ftp at all, disable the ftpd demon.

 I have noted that it is pretty common to see this sort of activity on a
 system with anon ftp enabled.

 have fun,

 Ted

Apache 1.3.x shared memory scoreboard vulnerabilities

2002-10-04 Thread Domonkos Czinke
Title: Apache 1.3.x shared memory scoreboard vulnerabilities






Damn :/

Domonkos Czinke

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

iDEFENSE Security Advisory 10.03.2002
Apache 1.3.x shared memory scoreboard vulnerabilities

16:00 GMT, October 3, 2002


I. BACKGROUND

The Apache Software Foundation's HTTP Server is an effort to develop
and maintain an open-source HTTP server for modern operating systems
including Unix and Windows NT. The goal of this project is to provide
a secure, efficient and extensible server that provides HTTP services
in sync with the current HTTP standards. More details about it are
available at http://httpd.apache.org .

II. DESCRIPTION

Apache HTTP Server contains a vulnerability in its shared memory
scoreboard. Attackers who can execute commands under the Apache UID
can either send a (SIGUSR1) signal to any process as root, in most
cases killing the process, or launch a local denial of service (DoS)
attack.

III. ANALYSIS

Exploitation requires execute permission under the Apache UID. This
can be obtained by any local user with a legitimate Apache scripting
resource (ie: PHP, Perl), exploiting a vulnerability in web-based
applications written in the above example languages, or through the
use of some other local/remote Apache exploit.

Once such a status is attained, the attacker can then attach to the
httpd daemon's 'scoreboard', which is stored in a shared memory
segment owned by Apache. The attacker can then cause a DoS condition
on the system by continuously filling the table with null values and
causing the server to spawn new children.

The attacker also has the ability to send any process a SIGUSR1
signal as root. This is accomplished by continuously overwriting the
parent[].pid and parent[].last_rtime segments within the scoreboard
to the pid of the target process and a time in the past. When the
target pid receives the signal SIGUSR1, it will react according to
how it is designed to manage the signal. According to the man page
(man 7 signal), if the signal is un-handled then the default action
is to terminate:

...
SIGUSR1 30,10,16 A User-defined signal 1
...
The letters in the Action column have the following meanings:

A Default action is to terminate the process.
...

iDEFENSE successfully terminated arbitrary processes, including those
that kicked people off the system.

IV. DETECTION

Apache HTTP Server 1.3.x, running on all applicable Unix platforms,
is affected.

V. VENDOR FIX/RESPONSE

Apache HTTP Server 1.3.27 fixes this problem. It should be available
on October 3 at http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/ .

VI. CVE INFORMATION

The Mitre Corp.'s Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) Project
has assigned the identification number CAN-2002-0839 to this issue.

VII. DISCLOSURE TIMELINE

 ftp  ftp  210.23.10.25 Sat Oct  5 18:40 - 18:40  (00:00)

 Can anyone tell me what these are, are they the result of programs
 accessing my TCP/IP addresses?


the first ip address seems to be relaying across interbusiness.it, and the 
second may well be an unallocated ip address belong to super.net.sg

unless you can think of a good reason why anyone should think they have a 
legitimate reason to connect to you in that manner, you might want to get in 
touch with both of those to let them know what's going on--especially 
super.net, since they run one of the main gateways in singapore and will 
surely want to know about anyone spoofing their ip's.

i just tried an ftp connection to you and an anonymous login was rejected, so 
it's unlikely that anybody has done any harm there.

the incidents in your sendmail logs are probably part of a port scan. you 
should make sure that the rest of your system is solid.

Re: Debian (Unstable) problem with SSH and PAM

2002-10-04 Thread Roger Ward
What? You're a coder? A sysadmin? Why do you need help setting up an ISP on 
your MODEM, setting up postfix, and also with package version control?  All 
things debian provides easily, through dpkg, the debian-policy, and its 
inclusion of documentation in the base distribution.

Please don't flood this mailing list with useless crap blasting us for reasons 
far above your head. And don't try to appear like a experienced sysadmin giving 
out your advice like it is god-given word.  Some people find your nature 
offensive, while others doing a little bit of research find your personality 
quite amusing :)

DO support whichever distribution you like best, but DON'T claim to be a 
sysadmin unless you are. Some of us get paid for it and actually are.

ftp scans are just common.
just look in /var/log/daemon.log for ftp sessions - opened,closed pairs or
log the connections.

 Not sure that your sendmail problem is related to this issue but...

 It looks like you have an anonymous ftp account enabled on your machine.
 Considering that these IPs are logging in for less than one minute I
 would venture to guess that they are scanning IPs looking for
 anonymous ftp accounts that they can go back to later and use in
 whatever way they want to.

 If you do not require outside anon ftp access I would suggest you block
 the ftp port along with all the other ports that do not require outside
 access.

 Also, if you are not in need of anon ftp, disable it.

 If you don't need ftp at all, disable the ftpd demon.

 I have noted that it is pretty common to see this sort of activity on a
 system with anon ftp enabled.

 have fun,

 Ted
