Package: kdelibs
Vulnerability  : insecure permissions
Problem-Type   : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CAN-2005-1920

KDE developers have reported a vulnerability in the backup file
handling of Kate and Kwrite.  The backup files are created with
default permissions, even if the original file had more strict
permissions set.  This could disclose information unintendedly.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in
version 3.3.2-6.2.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 3.4.1-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your kate package.

Mandriva Linux Security Update Advisory
 ___

 Package name:   apache2
 Advisory ID:MDKSA-2005:161
 Date:   September 8th, 2005

 Affected versions:  10.0, 10.1, 10.2, Corporate 3.0,
 Multi Network Firewall 2.0
 __

 Problem Description:

 A flaw was discovered in mod_ssl's handling of the "SSLVerifyClient"
 directive. This flaw occurs if a virtual host is configured
 using "SSLVerifyClient optional" and a directive "SSLVerifyClient
 required" is set for a specific location. For servers configured in
 this fashion, an attacker may be able to access resources that should
 otherwise be protected, by not supplying a client certificate when
 connecting. (CAN-2005-2700)
 
 A flaw was discovered in Apache httpd where the byterange filter would
 buffer certain responses into memory. If a server has a dynamic
 resource such as a CGI script or PHP script that generates a large
 amount of data, an attacker could send carefully crafted requests in
 order to consume resources, potentially leading to a Denial of Service.
 (CAN-2005-2728)
 
 The updated packages have been patched to address these issues.

Dang! The new firmware made turned the DSL router into a paperweight. Sigh! 
Atleast I can use it for a 4 port switch now. :(

[ilugd] [OT] Anyone using an indian DLink 504T?

2005-09-08 Thread Sandip Bhattacharya 
I have been struggling to configure this adsl router for my tata indicom 
router connection. The cheap chinese router provided by Tata indicom works 
without a hitch. But a similar configuration on the dlink router is showing 
significant packet losses.

I am using the static config type in bridge mode. Hopefully it is the same as 
the rfc 1483 bridged mode in the chinese modem.

Also can somebody confirm whether the 504T sold in india[1] the same as the 
504t sold in US[2]?

 [1]: http://www.dlink.co.in/dlink/Products/broadband/dsl504t.htm
 [2]: http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=373

The US product is being shown as a router cum modem, while the indian product 
is being shown only as a router. 

The bundled firmware with the router - V1.00B02T02.EU.20040610, has apparently 
been reported to be vulnerable to external attacks[3].

 [3]: 
http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A//www.securiteam.com/securitynews/5MP0N0KFPO.html&ei=f0YgQ6XIHYPmaIjL0agP)

But no updated firmware exists on the Indian DLink site. I am trying to 
download the firmware from the Australian DLink support site as see what 
happens.

If someone has already configured this router successfully for a static router 
config, please let me know the specifics.

- Sandip

Re: [ilugd] Running Webserver from home

2005-09-08 Thread Jasbir Khehra 
I was also thinking of running a web server from home 24x7 for personal use 
but the datacaps limit imposed by BSNL is a damper.My real query is 
regarding this data transfer limits imposed by the dsl ISPs in India. 
1. Is this a money making gimmick or do the Indian ISPs lack the 
infrastructure to give real broadband with unlimited usage ?

2. Is this practice also followed in other countries?

the fun of this only happens when you record to a camcorder live. i have one

too barebones and uninspiring and crashes somewhat. the other one, 
cinerella, needs like a hefty donation of some nice workstation properly 
configured and then wince while it crashes [check the website for more of 
how they pulled this off at siggraph last year].

i have another topic in mind, but am gonna request vivek to help me with 
troubleshooting the install of it. spent all of last night, about 9 hours, 
trying to troubleshoot the install, even on two distros, and even 
hand-editing the config files of install with not much luck.

Re: [ilugd] Running Webserver from home

2005-09-08 Thread Saurabh Nanda 
I asked something related to Airtel broadband on a different mailing
list and I'm appending snippets of conversation that ensued. Some of
this information might help you:

- BEGIN SNIPPET #1 -
> How do you make Airtel work?

The DSL router sits between the POTS splitter and the NIC on your machine.
You get a small CAT5 and plug one end into the router and the other end into
your NIC. The router becomes your gateway now. It has an internal IP and the
external IP is dynamic (probably Radius'ed). The internal IP is configurable of
course but it's set to some default initially so that you can log in
to it and do
whatever.

I paid around 2000 as deposit + installation charges last September.
The standard
modem rental rate is Rs. 99/- pm. Go for a router instead at Rs. 199/-
pm. Actually
I'm planning to buy the router from them now because I've been paying 199 every
month for 12 months now and the routers they're giving out now are pretty stupid
(but still better than the modem option definitely). When I got my
connection I got
a ZyXEL router - a very good model with easy configurability.

The site says it's a 1:2 DSL meaning it's shared. Now theoretically,
DSL can never
be shared because it works over your landline which means it's private
to you. What this basically means is that (and probably the
salesperson doesn't know it) there's a main line which is split such
that every customer receives 128 kbps. I don't understand how else
I've been getting 100% b/w on both u/l and d/l consistently day-in and
day-out. After the upgrade to 256 kbps, any wget download off even a
reasonably good server (any Gentoo mirror for instance) gives me a
consistent 30 kBps which equates to 240 kbps of the promised 256 kbps.
Considering that Airtel uses PPP over ATM (lot of overhead) this is
very very good indeed. The uploads don't come upto 30 kBps, but that's
probably because no one pulls from me at 30 kBps consistenly.

The best way for you to check things out would be to visit a neighbour who has a
DSL connection and try some wgetting. With my DSL there's no such
thing as peak and off-peak time so you can try anytime you want.

Unless they have blocked ALL ports you can use a redirection from a
company like TZO (www.tzo.com) , they can provide dynamic DNS as well as
port redirection among other things.

It's only a physical link. You and the ISP also need to agree on a way
to exchange IP packets over that link. That's what PPP (or SLIP) gives
you, independent of the nature of the link.

In theory, you could agree to exchange "raw" IP packets over the link,
but there are plenty of advantages to using PPP.

> As per my understanding, PPP is simply a 'wrapper' protocol.

That picture is incomplete.

PPP provides a means to use any physical link to negotiate connections
and exchange datagrams in a uniform way. Besides having the type field
to enable peers to identify the format of each encapsulated datagram,
it doesn't care what sort of data you send over it.

It is more concerned with providing a uniform interface, if you will,
to different kinds of link layers (and that's why you specify the use
of PPP for each link layer, and not the use of each protocol with PPP).

> Why would PPP frames be encapsulated in Ethernet frames?

So that two peers connected via Ethernet may use PPP to negotiate a
connection (over and above the connection they already share through
the Ethernet, even though IP datagrams may be transmitted over that
link without PPP).

When you consider that PPPoE is typically used over something that is
not really Ethernet (e.g., Ethernet frames are themselves transported
via a DSL-over-ATM link with RFC 1483 encapsulation), then you begin
to understand the true horror that is PPPoE.

> why would anyone want to use PPPoE?

For authentication.

[ilugd] PPP vs Ethernet vs PPPoE

2005-09-08 Thread Saurabh Nanda 
Hi,

I've been trying to read up on PPP and have got myself into a confused
mess. Most of the information that I've gathered is from Wikipedia.

So here goes...
 
# From Wikipedia: "The Point-to-Point Protocol, or PPP, is commonly
used to establish a direct connection between two nodes"

Suppose I'm using a dialup line. The modem 'dials into' my ISP's
server and establishes a connection. Effectively, isn't this a
one-to-one direct connection? Can't I have a simple script which does
the following as soon as the modem has 'dialled into' the ISP's
server:

1. Change my machine's IP addresss to a pre-determined IP address
(probably provided by the ISP when I purchased the net connection)
2. Change the routing rules to route all outgoing network traffic
through a pre-determined IP address (the IP address of the server
which I've just dialled into)
3. And finally, change /etc/resolv.conf

As soon as the modem disconnects, another script could bring all the
network configuration back to the original state.


# From Wikipedia: "PPP was designed to work with several network layer
protocols, such as IP, IPX and AppleTalk..."

As per my understanding, PPP is simply a 'wrapper' protocol. Given two
nodes connected to each other using a single link (cable, connection
media, whatever), PPP may be used for communicating using multiple
protocols at the same time. i.e., under normal circumstances, only one
of IP or IPX may be used, at any given time. However, by using PPP,
both IP and IPX, can be multiplexed.

 
# From Wikipedia: "PPPoE, point-to-point protocol over Ethernet, is a
network protocol for encapsulating PPP frames in Ethernet frames."

If I understand this correctly, Ethernet works a layer below PPP. Why
would PPP frames be encapsulated in Ethernet frames? Shouldn't it be
the exact opposite? Additionally, since PPP encapsulates IP, IPX,
etc., out of which (at least) IP datagrams can be sent 'inside'
Ethernet frames (the way a 'normal' LAN work), why would anyone want
to use PPPoE?
 
Any answers to these questions? Or pointers to where I can read up
stuff written in plain English?
 
Nandz.

[ilugd] MPROTECT

2005-09-08 Thread rantu 
Hi all, 
This is regarding running .NET applications on Apache. I've been trying 
since last month to run .NET applications on apache, but still waiting for 
success.
I've managed to install mono successfully and compile apache with 
mod_mono.so (which is the module required to run .NET applications on 
Apache.)But when im pointing my browser to "http://localhost/aspnet";  i get 
server error. And in the file /var/log/httpd/error.log i get the error as 
"mod-mono-server.exe: mprotect failed: permossion denied."
 
  This clearly shows that the mod-mono-server.exe process is unable to 
execute just because it is unable to access the memory space required(This can 
be seen from the word mprotect). 
Now can anybody tell me some more documentation regarding mprotect . 
Do anyone know or hosting .NET applications on apache...?
