1) problem description, brief discussion, solution, upgrade information
The ISC (Internet Software Consortium) dhcp package is an imple-
mentation of the "Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol" (DHCP).
An internal source code audit done by ISC revealed several buffer
overflows in the code which is responsible to handle dynamic DNS
requests.
These bugs allow an attacker to gain remote access to the dhcp
server if the dynamic DNS feature is enabled.
Dynamic DNS is not enabled by default on SuSE Linux.
As temporary fix you can disable dynamic DNS support and restart your
dhcp server. Otherwise install the new packages from our FTP servers.
Please backup your lease file before updating the package.
After the package update you have to restart the dhcp server
This can be done by executing the following commands as root:
- rcdhcpd restart
or (for older versions):
- rcdhcp restart
Please download the update package for your distribution and verify its
integrity by the methods listed in section 3) of this announcement.
Then, install the package using the command "rpm -Fhv file.rpm" to apply
the update.
Our maintenance customers are being notified individually. The packages
are being offered to install from the maintenance web.

2) Pending vulnerabilities in SuSE Distributions and Workarounds:
- fam
SuSE Versions < 8.0 are shipping a vulnerable version of fam
which allows unprivileged users to determine filenames of
group root.
New packages are available on our FTP servers.
- xpdf
An integer overflow in pdftops may lead to system compromise.
New packages are available on our FTP servers..
- libmcrypt
Several buffer overflows in libmcrypt were discovered by Ilia
Alshanetsky. The buffer overflows can lead to system compromise.
New packages are currently being build.
- gfxboot
Since SuSE 8.1 the bootloader lilo is replaced by grub.
Grub's password authentication can be bypassed.
New packages will be released soon.
- mod_php4
A buffer overflow in the wordwrap() function has been reported.
New packages will be prepared and should be available on our ftp
servers soon.
- wget
A buffer overflow in wget's url_filename function was found.
This buffer overflow can be triggered by long URLs.
New packages are currently being build and will be released
soon.
- IMP
The web front-end of IMP is vulnerable to a SQL injection attack.
New packages are currently being build and will be released
soon.

3) standard appendix: authenticity verification, additional information
- Package authenticity verification:
SuSE update packages are available on many mirror ftp servers all over
the world. While this service is being considered valuable and important
to the free and open source software community, many users wish to be
sure about the origin of the package and its content before installing
the package. 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) md5sums as provided in the (cryptographically signed) announcement.
2) using the internal gpg signatures of the rpm package.
1) execute the command
md5sum <name-of-the-file.rpm>
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
announcement. Since the announcement containing the checksums is
cryptographically signed (usually using the key security@suse.de),
the checksums show proof of the authenticity of the package.
We disrecommend to subscribe to security lists which cause the
email message containing the announcement to be modified so that
the signature does not match after transport through the mailing
list software.
Downsides: You must be able to verify the authenticity of the
announcement in the first place. If RPM packages are being rebuilt
and a new version of a package is published on the ftp server, all
md5 sums for the files are useless.
2) rpm package signatures provide an easy way to verify the authenticity
of an rpm package. Use the command
rpm -v --checksig <file.rpm>
to verify the signature of the package, where <file.rpm> is the
filename of the rpm package that you have downloaded. Of course,
package authenticity verification can only target an un-installed rpm
package file.
Prerequisites:
a) gpg is installed
b) The package is signed using a certain key. The public part of this
key must be installed by the gpg program in the directory
~/.gnupg/ under the user's home directory who performs the
signature verification (usually root). You can import the key
that is used by SuSE in rpm packages for SuSE Linux by saving
this announcement to a file ("announcement.txt") and
running the command (do "su -" to be root):
gpg --batch; gpg < announcement.txt | gpg --import
SuSE Linux distributions version 7.1 and thereafter install the
key "build@suse.de" upon installation or upgrade, provided that
the package gpg is installed. The file containing the public key
is placed at the top-level directory of the first CD (pubring.gpg)
and at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/pubring.gpg-build.suse.de .
- SuSE runs two security mailing lists to which any interested party may
subscribe:
suse-security@suse.com
- general/linux/SuSE security discussion.
