Re: [ilugd] What is Real Time Linux???????
Hullo, Dear Sys admins, Not everyone on this list is a sysadmin! :) What is Real Time Linux?? According to one of the most reliable sources around, RT Systems are those whose correctness includes its response time as well as its functional correctness. The above basically means that apart from the correct working of the system itself, how fast you get a response also matters a lot. In this regard, such systems get classified into Hard and Soft Real time systems. google for more info! How it is different from Mandrake,Fedora and RH etc. The distros mentioned above are user level distros - they are used on desktop applications, server management, development, blah - but essentially, by a human being sitting on a computer. RT Systems are deployed on satellites, missiles and such - that is where the term 'embedded' comes in as well. These systems have to gather data, and act on it in a very fast loop, in order to ensure the safety of the device they're on, or any other factors which may be in play.

Subject: tcpdump(/ethereal)[]: (RSVP) rsvp_print() infinite loop DOS.
Date: 26 Apr 2005 10:01:40 -
(i made a second message for this because it also effects ethereal,
both tcpdump and ethereal are patched in the current cvs/svn versions)
(tcpdump) workaround:
# tcpdump ip proto not rsvp
original DOS exploit reference:
http://fakehalo.us/xtcpdump+ethr-rsvp-dos.c
exploit: xtcpdump+ethr-rsvp-dos.c
/*[ tcpdump(/ethereal)[]: (RSVP) rsvp_print() infinite loop DOS. ]*
**
* by: vade79/v9 [EMAIL PROTECTED] (fakehalo/realhalo) *
**
* compile: *
* gcc xtcpdump+ethr-rsvp-dos.c -o xtcpdump+ethr-rsvp-dos*
**
* tcpdump homepage/URL: *
* http://www.tcpdump.org*
**
* ethereal homepage/URL: *
* http://www.ethereal.com *
**
* effected versions: *
* tcpdump: v3.8.x/v3.9.1/CVS (didn't check below 3.8.x) *
* ethereal: v0.10.10 (appears to be fixed in 0.10.10 SVN14167) *
**
* tcpdump(v3.9.1 and earlier versions) contains a remote denial *
* of service vulnerability in the form of a single (RSVP) packet *
* causing an infinite loop. *
**
* this bug also effects ethereal[v0.10.10] in a similar way, i *
* did not check ethereals source code to find out why, tcpdump *
* was the focus. (the packet usually must be clicked on, the *
* ICMP replies given back will cause it too) *
**
* as this bug doesn't appear to be fixed in the new(3.9.x/CVS) *
* versions i'll elaborate on the problem. the bug lies in *
* rsvp_print() in the RSVP_OBJ_ERO(and RSVP_OBJ_RRO) class, *
* allowing a zero length(+4 length really) situation, causing an *
* infinite loop. *
**
* some versions of tcpdump(depending on the platform/OS) need no *
* special command-line arguments to allow this to happen,*
* however most need the -v argument. *

Background == Convert-UUlib provides a Perl interface to the uulib library, allowing Perl applications to access data encoded in a variety of formats. Affected packages = --- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected --- 1 dev-perl/Convert-UUlib1.051 = 1.051 Description === A vulnerability has been reported in Convert-UUlib where a malformed parameter can be provided by an attacker allowing a read operation to overflow a buffer. The vendor credits Mark Martinec and Robert Lewis with the discovery. Impact == Successful exploitation would permit an attacker to run arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the Perl application. Workaround == There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution == All Convert-UUlib users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose =dev-perl/Convert-UUlib-1.051 Availability This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200504-26.xml Concerns? = Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
