Re: [ilugd] Doubling Download Speed
I *believe* its not possible as the 24 hours online won't allow you to do so. If by any chance you manage to introduce a proxy at your client end, it should be a transparent one and that is impossible with a single LAN card. thanks my i can install a proxy at his place. the proxy works fine... a few months back i had opted out of the connection for one month, as most of the month i was out of station. i tried the proxy it worked just fine. and the cable waalah has not been able to detect it as of now. what i want is that my computer routes half of the traffic through the proxy and half through the 24online server (by the way which does not require a proxy server). cheers Varun ___ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd

At this point, we are still performing forensic analysis. However, the compromised system had both an IDS and a file integrity checker installed and we have a very detailed forensic trail of what happened once the box was breached, so= we are reasonably confident that the portage tree stored on that box was unaffected. The attacker appears to have installed a rootkit and modified/deleted some files to cover their tracks, but left the server otherwise untouched. =20 The box was in a compromised state for approximately one hour before it was discovered and shut down. During this time, approximately 20 users synchronized against the portage mirror stored on this box. The method used to gain access to the box remotely is still under investigation. We will release more details once we have ascertained the cause of the remote explo= it. This box is not an official Gentoo infrastructure box and is instead donated by a sponsor. The box provides other services not related to Gentoo Linux = as well and the sponsor has requested that we not publicly identify the box at this time. Because the Gentoo part of this box appears to be unaffected by this exploit, we are currently honoring the sponsor's request. That said, = if at any point, we determine that any file in the portage tree was inappropriately modified, we will release full details about the compromised server. SOLUTION =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Again, based on the forensic analysis done so far, we are reasonably confid= ent that no files within the Portage tree on the box were affected. However, t= he server has been removed from all rsync.*.gentoo.org rotations and will rema= in so until the forensic analysis has been completed and the box has been wiped and rebuilt. Thus, users preferring an extra level of security may ensure that they have a correct and accurate portage tree by running: emerge sync Which will perform a sync against another server, thus ensuring that all fi= les are up to date. --rG+KBTClKkGekJUE Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/zUPtJPpRNiftIEYRAsuzAJ9VhNxkc1+kPvnXxqF9AMYczPrN6QCfQivy pBdmUugrjQd4fD8YmYMx4YI= =2VEN -END PGP SIGNATURE- --rG+KBTClKkGekJUE-- ___ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.

S-Quadra Advisory #2003-12-03
Topic: GnuPG 1.2.3, 1.3.3 external HKP interface format string issue
Severity: Low
Vendor URL: http://www.gnupg.org
Advisory URL: http://www.s-quadra.com/advisories/Adv-20031203.txt
Release date: 3 Dec 2003
1. DESCRIPTION
GnuPG is a complete and free replacement for PGP.
Because it does not use the patented IDEA algorithm, it can be used
without any restrictions.
GnuPG is a RFC2440 (OpenPGP) compliant application.
GnuPG has external HKP inteface which is marked as experimental and not
enabled by default in 1.2 stable branch and to use it you should compile
GnuPG with '--enable-external-hkp' configuration option.
Also, on 1.3 devel branch external HKP interface is enabled by default
and to disable you should compile GnuPG with '--disable-hkp'
configuration option.
When the external HKP interface is enabled, GnuPG will make use of
'gpgkeys_hkp' utility for keyserver accesses.
There exists a format string vulnerability in 'gpgkeys_hkp' utility
which would allow a malicious
keyserver in the worst case to execute an arbitrary code on the user's
machine.
2. DETAILS
The offending code can be found in keyserver/gpgkeys_hkp.c:
snip
int get_key(char *getkey)
{
int rc,gotit=0;
char search[29];
char *request;
struct http_context hd;
...
if(verbose2)
fprintf(console,gpgkeys: HTTP URL is \%s\\n,request);
rc=http_open_document(hd,request,http_flags);
if(rc!=0)
{
fprintf(console,gpgkeys: HKP fetch error: %s\n,
rc==G10ERR_NETWORK?strerror(errno):g10_errstr(rc));
fprintf(output,KEY 0x%s FAILED\n,getkey);
}
else
{
unsigned int maxlen=1024,buflen;
byte *line=NULL;
while(iobuf_read_line(hd.fp_read,line,buflen,maxlen))
{
maxlen=1024;
if(gotit)
{
// S-Quadra: here is where format string bug lives
fprintf(output,line);
if(strcmp(line,-END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-\n)==0)
break;
}
else
if(strcmp(line,-BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-\n)==0)
{
// S-Quadra: here is where format string bug lives
fprintf(output,line);
gotit=1;
}
}
...
return 0;
}
/snip
3. FIX INFORMATION
S-Quadra alerted GnuPG development team to this issue on 27th November
2003.
For 1.2 branch fix available in CVS, latest devel version 1.3.4 also
contains fix for the reported bug.
4. CREDITS
Evgeny Legerov [EMAIL PROTECTED] is responsible for discovering
this issue.
