From meissner@suse.de Wed Jul 6 12:23:48 2005 From: Marcus Meissner To: bugtraq@securityfocus.com Date: Wed, 06 Jul 2005 17:29:36 +0200 Subject: SUSE Security Announcement: zlib denial of service attack (SUSE-SA:2005:039) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ______________________________________________________________________________ SUSE Security Announcement Package: zlib Announcement ID: SUSE-SA:2005:039 Date: Wed, 06 Jul 2005 14:00:00 +0000 Affected Products: 9.1, 9.2, 9.3 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 Novell Linux Desktop 9 Open Enterprise Server Vulnerability Type: remote denial of service Severity (1-10): 7 SUSE Default Package: yes Cross-References: CAN-2005-2096 Content of This Advisory: 1) Security Vulnerability Resolved: zlib denial of service attack Problem Description 2) Solution or Work-Around 3) Special Instructions and Notes 4) Package Location and Checksums 5) Pending Vulnerabilities, Solutions, and Work-Arounds: See SUSE Security Summary Report. 6) Authenticity Verification and Additional Information ______________________________________________________________________________ 1) Problem Description and Brief Discussion A denial of service condition was fixed in the zlib library. Any program using zlib to decompress data can be crashed by a specially handcrafted invalid data stream. This includes web browsers or email programs able to view PNG images (which are compressed by zlib), allowing remote attackers to crash browser sessions or potentially anti virus programs using this vulnerability. This issue is tracked by the Mitre CVE ID CAN-2005-2096. Since only zlib 1.2.x is affected, older SUSE products are not affected by this problem. 2) Solution or Work-Around Install the updated packages. 3) Special Instructions and Notes Please restart running programs using zlib. 4) Package Location and Checksums The preferred method for installing security updates is to use the YaST Online Update (YOU) tool. YOU detects which updates are required and automatically performs the necessary steps to verify and install them. Alternatively, download the update packages for your distribution manually and verify their integrity by the methods listed in Section 6 of this announcement. Then install the packages using the command rpm -Fhv to apply the update, replacing with the filename of the downloaded RPM package. Our maintenance customers are notified individually. The packages are offered for installation from the maintenance web. x86 Platform: SUSE Linux 9.3: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.3/rpm/i586/zlib-1.2.2-5.2.i586.rpm 69306a26b2f9cbaadd139adafe8ec4ac ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.3/rpm/i586/zlib-devel-1.2.2-5.2.i586.rpm e8f2b4dd7ac1a58850ceb78f806167fc ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.3/rpm/x86_64/zlib-32bit-9.3-7.1.x86_64.rpm 08a77c7932298f449c1a82808f254110 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.3/rpm/x86_64/zlib-devel-32bit-9.3-7.1.x86_64.rpm 5855d394fa83bd00e63c3dd921696ea3 SUSE Linux 9.2: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.2/rpm/i586/zlib-1.2.1-74.2.i586.rpm 8f9d09a2d49a351261f4b31eeee7e4cd ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.2/rpm/i586/zlib-devel-1.2.1-74.2.i586.rpm 2143442ba3f12fa0d76be2fa98b1db8a ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.2/rpm/x86_64/zlib-32bit-9.2-200507042003.x86_64.rpm 4850236d95a259a406e4d4d6c93b8859 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.2/rpm/x86_64/zlib-devel-32bit-9.2-200507042003.x86_64.rpm 1d559edb263577bff25d1016777ebb55 SUSE Linux 9.1: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.1/rpm/i586/zlib-1.2.1-70.9.i586.rpm 51e2ae37c32d4979d1da05b667289640 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.1/rpm/i586/zlib-devel-1.2.1-70.9.i586.rpm 3a7fd561f637ecfcf2f3b5118e48327a ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/x86_64/update/9.1/rpm/i586/zlib-32bit-9.1-200507042050.i586.rpm 8070a09339374edeb50cf1d72249964f ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/x86_64/update/9.1/rpm/i586/zlib-devel-32bit-9.1-200507042050.i586.rpm 91d1551e541e00e4bfefff68afc7ed8f source rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.1/rpm/src/zlib-1.2.1-70.9.src.rpm c2cf9d2d338d44ab0af7cc4612053ef6 x86-64 Platform: SUSE Linux 9.3: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.3/rpm/x86_64/zlib-1.2.2-5.2.x86_64.rpm 9d76d7e17c4bd39b76671ae085667e68 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.3/rpm/x86_64/zlib-devel-1.2.2-5.2.x86_64.rpm cc3090fe5ec5abbe7db63cb8f2191643 source rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.3/rpm/src/zlib-1.2.2-5.2.src.rpm 3a5b7b89f1cafe11d6650e45c15105a9 SUSE Linux 9.2: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.2/rpm/x86_64/zlib-1.2.1-74.2.x86_64.rpm f479591a07c85f3a4eddaefdaead314b ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.2/rpm/x86_64/zlib-devel-1.2.1-74.2.x86_64.rpm e95130cc47899b7d7e82f2ef9dfcbbd9 source rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.2/rpm/src/zlib-1.2.1-74.2.src.rpm 416613c25a05f474fb146c2c5bd12ee0 SUSE Linux 9.1: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/x86_64/update/9.1/rpm/x86_64/zlib-1.2.1-70.9.x86_64.rpm acd231a2cbe98589b5e76b07837885c8 ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/x86_64/update/9.1/rpm/x86_64/zlib-devel-1.2.1-70.9.x86_64.rpm a2c9ae2e48b5bf6b1612ff2d06e3bd4c source rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/x86_64/update/9.1/rpm/src/zlib-1.2.1-70.9.src.rpm fa552f93abcc60e00686185c2b33fa98 ______________________________________________________________________________ 5) Pending Vulnerabilities, Solutions, and Work-Arounds: See SUSE Security Summary Report. ______________________________________________________________________________ 6) Authenticity Verification and Additional Information - Announcement authenticity verification: SUSE security announcements are published via mailing lists and on Web sites. The authenticity and integrity of a SUSE security announcement is guaranteed by a cryptographic signature in each announcement. All SUSE security announcements are published with a valid signature. To verify the signature of the announcement, save it as text into a file and run the command gpg --verify replacing with the name of the file where you saved the announcement. The output for a valid signature looks like: gpg: Signature made using RSA key ID 3D25D3D9 gpg: Good signature from "SuSE Security Team " where is replaced by the date the document was signed. If the security team's key is not contained in your key ring, you can import it from the first installation CD. To import the key, use the command gpg --import gpg-pubkey-3d25d3d9-36e12d04.asc - Package authenticity verification: SUSE update packages are available on many mirror FTP servers all over the world. While this service is considered valuable and important to the free and open source software community, the authenticity and the integrity of a package needs to be verified to ensure that it has not been tampered with. There are two verification methods that can be used independently from each other to prove the authenticity of a downloaded file or RPM package: 1) Using the internal gpg signatures of the rpm package 2) MD5 checksums as provided in this announcement 1) The internal rpm package signatures provide an easy way to verify the authenticity of an RPM package. Use the command rpm -v --checksig to verify the signature of the package, replacing with the filename of the RPM package downloaded. The package is unmodified if it contains a valid signature from build@suse.de with the key ID 9C800ACA. This key is automatically imported into the RPM database (on RPMv4-based distributions) and the gpg key ring of 'root' during installation. You can also find it on the first installation CD and at the end of this announcement. 2) If you need an alternative means of verification, use the md5sum command to verify the authenticity of the packages. Execute the command md5sum after you downloaded the file from a SUSE FTP server or its mirrors. Then compare the resulting md5sum with the one that is listed in the SUSE security announcement. Because the announcement containing the checksums is cryptographically signed (by security@suse.de), the checksums show proof of the authenticity of the package if the signature of the announcement is valid. Note that the md5 sums published in the SUSE Security Announcements are valid for the respective packages only. Newer versions of these packages cannot be verified. - SUSE runs two security mailing lists to which any interested party may subscribe: suse-security@suse.com - General Linux and SUSE security discussion.
