[leaf-devel] local root exploit in linux Kernel <= 2.4.19 (?)

2002-10-25 Thread arne @ loopback . org
Hi there,

i just saw a message from the cert of the university of stuttgart (
only german: http://cert.uni-stuttgart.de/ticker/article.php?mid=1000) which
says that there seem to be some real security problems with kernel <
2.4.20pre11 (or 2.4.19 with a special patch applied). The y do not give real
details expecept that this vulnerabilities can be used for Denial of service
Attacks and local root exploits. It seems that some of these problems were
fixed silently in 2.4.19 (without any official statement!) and they point to
a patch fixing the other ones , too.

There is a link to a bugtraq message concerning redhat kernel updates but
this only talks about security problems in a few drivers. 
( http://cert.uni-stuttgart.de/archive/bugtraq/2002/10/msg00256.html ).
But they also mention that because of the DMCA the official information is
very rare (??).

just wanted to let you know, if someone finds out more interesting details,
i am interested too (eh, does anyone know about the DMCA legal stuff??)

regards,
arne

is a switch connected or whatever that lets me physically enable write
protection on the fly and not only at boot, cause i want to be able to
update my system without the need to reboot. I just don't know how to do
this for now, but that's my personal goal. So the router is protected as
long as the switch is on "write protection", if i change something i have to
physically press a switch on this machine...

 Only achieving protection for the
hd could be done using other methods, maybe, like looking for a way to let
linux only mount it read only in the kernel or whatever (maybe use
grsecurity massivly or LIDS). But i used the
Flashdisk cause i wanted to get rid of the floppy drive...

So maybe there are different needs out there.

I understand this. But as i see this, this special device has one pin that
it put to ground enables write protection. So what i that was: why not put
this adapter between it that does nothing but connecting all pins from the
device to the motherboard directly, except one, #30, which can be set to
ground or whatever using a switch. As #30 seems not to be used by normal
ATA, it should make not difference to the motherboard. the adapter is just
an physical extension to avoid brazing on the ATA device itself...

but shouldn't it be possible to build an adapter that is between the
motherboard and the ata disk that changes just this behaviour and loops all
other pins through ??
These Flashdisks are normally just plugged into the motherboard, right ?
its not the best solution, but i never saw anything that directly had this

Yes this might be a way, of course. But the main problem is that there is
time when this will fail, especially creating the real root install dir (
the root.lrp) which has to be done as root to get the right permissions.
expecially for tinylogin which needs to be suid root.. Or do i

[Leaf-devel] my stuff (uClibc based root)

2002-01-25 Thread arne @ loopback . org

Hi,

as i write this, i am putting my sources up to devel/arneb on
sourceforge/leaf. Note that this is not complete, it does not build a real
working root.lrp yet, but as people might be interested...
To have a look at it:
install uClibc on youre machine (version 0.9.8 is in the orig-src archive),
under /usr/i386-linux/uclibc (the default place). After that put in the
stuff from src.tgz into your src dir (e.g. /usr/src) go into it, become root
(needed for some install scripts) , and make a
./makeit make and go out for lunch. If you do that its a good idea to
redirect the output to a file... 
After that use ./makeit install to install the stuff into build/root 
you find the scripts for making/cleaning in src/scripts all binaries in
src/build/ ...

thats all for now...

I compiled both some time ago against uClibc. I did not test it though. but
i think other people use this already.

i successfully compiled dhclient 2.0pl4 (from debian potato) against uCLibc
without any problem (the server does compile too).

The only thing that gives real problems right now with uClibc is if it uses
libresolv, the most other clients should compile (i think there are even
perl and python out there). And it will get better, as the developers are
still developing , it has nothing to do with lineo anymore...

[Leaf-devel] Console (newt based) Interface

2002-01-03 Thread arne @ loopback . org

Hi,

i spent my last two weeks in playing around with my gcc again, and made a
first test version of a text/menu based version of a config frontend for lrp
(it currently works for my version for kernel 2.4, based on lrp 2.9.8 and
soon uClibc).
For now it just configures the stuff in the network.conf, but this will
change in the future. 
I would make versions for other lrp based dists also (like dachstein, oxygen
??), but it should be clear that this will only work with configuration
files NOT containing anything else than configuration keys-value pairs and
comments (and no shell script functions like dachstein had in previous
versions). 
This version now works (most of the time) and is intented to be a test, i
know that i will have to rewrite a lot of things. It is not ready for
production use, but i would people to have a look at it if they like (and
help me find bugs, etc.).

If anyone is interested, mail to me and i send you a copy of the program
(bin only, the src will follow the next days). It is statically compiled
against uClibc and minislang and is 125KB in Size (the tar gz is aroung
56kb). It should be possible to get this even smaller, as size was not so
importend for this test hack. 
I would just like to know, what people think.

so...

just a comment to the desc file, how about adding another information into

libc: ???

(or something similar).
it might come the time where people are using glib-2.1.3 , 2.2.4 or uClibc,
and i would like to know if a packet is too old to use it , cause of the

[Leaf-devel] initrd initrd_archive and initramf

2001-11-26 Thread arne @ loopback . org

Hi,

i just saw a message that kernel 2.5 will be supporting a new type of
initial ramdisk, as the old initrd may be gone in a while...:


The first initramfs patch was posted by Alexander Viro this week. This patch
is the implementation of the new 2.5 boot process that was first discussed
in the July 12 kernel page. In this scheme, the kernel executable image
carries with it a cpio archive containing the contents of the initial root
filesystem. That archive is loaded into a ramdisk at boot time, at which time it can 
be used to continue the
system initialization process. 

The hope is to move much kernel initialization code out of kernel space and into this 
ramdisk. The result is a smaller kernel and
more flexibility in how the bootstrap process is set up. For the moment, the tasks 
that have been moved to
user space include: 

- Finding and mounting the real (permanent) root filesystem. NFS root filesystems are 
handled here as well. 
- Setting up any initial ramdisk (usually for the purpose of loading kernel modules 
needed for the boot process). 
- Running the linuxrc boot script. 
- Finding the real init process and running it. 

There is more that can be moved into this filesystem, but that's a good start. The 
claim is that kernels running with this patch
will function identically; no boot setups should be broken or require changes. Mr. 
Viro would, of course,
like to hear from anybody with evidence to the contrary. 

its from http://lwn.net/2001/0802/bigpage.php3

looks interesting i think ...

I don't use kernel 2.2 ;-) And i want to use kernel 2.4 > 2.4.9.
This does not work for now, cause there are no patches available for this.
I have started to make them running, but this is work that has to be done
every time the kernel people change stuff in the affected parts, and i am
sure, they will.

So my solution would be to port the patch to kernel 2.4.14 or make something
like an small initrd.gz which would work for all kernel (2.4 at least), and
put in harddisk/cdrom support (i use flashdisks)...

I would go a step further. make a minimal busybox only containing very few
applets(tar,msh as shell,mount,ls,cat,...) And link it statically with
uClibc. This will result in a quite small binary and you don't need to
include a big libc...

The Problem with your previous post is, that you can not load the
loadmod.lrp from the boot medium cause you need the modules from there to
access your boot medium.
I would prefer to put it into the kernel, this would lead to a few customed
kernels, but only a few. As i want to concentrate my work on LRP for Systems
with CD,harddisk or flashdisk i have no Problem with a larger kernel.
My main Problem is to have it the size to fit on a floppy. But if we do not
use a embedded libc we will run into problems anyway, as fewer programs will
support glibc-2.0.7 and we have to switch to another libc. This will break
the floppy stuff (as using kernel 2.4 might).

[Leaf-devel] Anybody succes with initrd_dyn

2001-11-02 Thread arne @ loopback . org

Hi,

i was just playing around with the initrd_dyn stuff from ftp.psychosis.com.
What i tried to to is to boot my lrp system with that using kernel 2.4.9 
and syslinux. But i can not get it to work,
i get messages like "no init found". My problem is i don't know how exactly
an append line for this should be.

Another point is that it will not get into the standard kernel as it seems,
initrd_archive + linuxrc_always does not work either for kernel > 2.4.9 so
maybe its time to try something new like mounting a minimal real initrd
first and creating a ramfs from that and putting the packages ...

But thats caused by the base (LRP 2.9.8) too...

yep, sound good.

Are you planning to upgrade to a new busybox version ?? It works o.k. for me
(including bb ifconfig and bb route and even ash). If you would use even
init and syslogd from bb root.lrp gets quite small, and i think the
functionality is o.k for a router , or am i wrong ??

well as i do not have any non UNIX System here around (except for testing
ipsec clients), no Problem ;-)

Yes and this works! (with the pkgpath.cfg).

i just had a look and a i like the idea of putting this on CD (We are
selling our systems with an IDE Flashdisk, though). But,
i would like to see the config scripts be seperate from the configs itself,
thats one difference to the release i made for myself. The other is of
course Kernel 2.4... 
But i like the new lrcfg interface it looks nice. But please change the
description there:
b ) Backup
d ) Set Backup Destination
and so on,

i tried multiple time to insert:
d root
...
 or something like that would be nicer...

[Leaf-devel] dachstein rc1 cd won't boot.

2001-10-12 Thread arne @ loopback . org

Hi,

i have problems with the dachstein rc1 cd. The machine boots from cd,
identifies the cdrom at hdd as ATAPI 2xCDROM and then cannot load the other
packages (etc.lrp ...). 
it just says: could not mount the boot device can't install packages.
I have not floppy inserted and no harddisk (now) in this machine...
