-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- =========================================================================== AUSCERT External Security Bulletin Redistribution ESB-2002.333 -- RHSA-2002:051-16 New Squid packages available 5 July 2002 =========================================================================== AusCERT Security Bulletin Summary --------------------------------- Product: Squid-2.x Vendor: Red Hat Operating System: Red Hat Linux 6.2 Red Hat Linux 7.0 Red Hat Linux 7.1 Red Hat Linux 7.2 Red Hat Linux 7.3 Platform: Alpha i386 IA-64 SPARC Impact: Execute Arbitrary Code/Commands Access Confidential Data Access Required: Remote Ref: ESB-2002.332 - --------------------------BEGIN INCLUDED TEXT-------------------- - --------------------------------------------------------------------- Red Hat, Inc. Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: New Squid packages available Advisory ID: RHSA-2002:051-16 Issue date: 2002-03-22 Updated on: 2002-07-02 Product: Red Hat Linux Keywords: Squid DNS FTP gopher Cross references: Obsoletes: RHSA-2002:029 RHSA-2001:113 RHSA-2001:097 CVE Names: CAN-2002-0163 - --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Topic: New Squid packages are available which fix various security issues. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Linux 6.2 - alpha, i386, sparc Red Hat Linux 7.0 - alpha, i386 Red Hat Linux 7.1 - alpha, i386, ia64 Red Hat Linux 7.2 - i386, ia64 Red Hat Linux 7.3 - i386 3. Problem description: Squid is a high-performance proxy caching server. The following summary describes the various issues found and their resolutions. A problem was found in the code used by Squid to handle compressed DNS replies where a malicious DNS server could cause Squid to crash. This bug is fixed in the 2.4.STABLE6 release of Squid. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2002-0163 to this issue. Note that Red Hat Linux 7.3 is not vulnerable to this issue. Several buffer overflows have been found in the MSNT auth helper (msnt_auth) when configured to use denyusers or allowusers access control files. Several buffer overflows were found in the gopher client of Squid. It could be possible for a malicious gopher server to cause Squid to crash. A problem was found in the handling of the FTP data channel, possibly allowing abuse of the FTP proxy to bypass firewall rules or inject false FTP replies. Several possible buffer overflows were found in the code parsing FTP directories, potentially allowing an untrusted FTP server to crash Squid. Thanks go to Olaf Kirch and the Squid team for notifying us of the problems, and to the Squid team for providing patches. Note that Carp support has been disabled in this errata. If you need Carp support, you can reconfigure it with --enable-carp and rebuild the packages. All users of Squid are advised to upgrade to these errata packages which contain patches to correct each of these issues. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied. To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run: rpm -Fvh [filenames] where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the desired RPMs. Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system. 5.
