-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- =========================================================================== AUSCERT External Security Bulletin Redistribution ESB-2003.0740 -- HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY SECURITY BULLETIN: HPSBUX0310-286 SSRT3622 Security Bulletin rev.1 - HP-UX AAA Server 24 October 2003 =========================================================================== AusCERT Security Bulletin Summary --------------------------------- Product: HP-UX AAA Server Publisher: Hewlett-Packard Operating System: HP-UX B.11.11 HP-UX B.11.00 Platform: HP9000 Impact: Denial of Service Access Required: Remote CVE Names: CAN-2003-0543 CAN-2003-0544 CAN-2003-0545 Ref: AL-2003.18 ESB-2003.0710 Comment: NB: revisions to SOLUTION sections - --------------------------BEGIN INCLUDED TEXT-------------------- - -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ----------------------------------------------------------------- **REVISED 01** Source: HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY SECURITY BULLETIN: HPSBUX0310-286 Originally issued: 07 Oct 2003 Last revised: 22 Oct 2003 SSRT3622 Security Bulletin rev.1 - HP-UX AAA Server ----------------------------------------------------------------- NOTICE: There are no restrictions for distribution of this Bulletin provided that it remains complete and intact. The information in the following Security Bulletin should be acted upon as soon as possible. Hewlett-Packard Company will not be liable for any consequences to any customer resulting from customer's failure to fully implement instructions in this Security Bulletin as soon as possible. ----------------------------------------------------------------- PROBLEM: 1. Certain ASN.1 encodings that are rejected as invalid by the parser can trigger a bug in the deallocation of the corresponding data structure, corrupting the stack. This can be used as a denial of service attack. It is currently unknown whether this can be exploited to run malicious code. This issue does not affect OpenSSL 0.9.6. More details are available at: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2003-0545 2. Unusual ASN.1 tag values can cause an out of bounds read under certain circumstances, resulting in a denial of service vulnerability. More details are available at: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2003-0543 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2003-0544 3. A malformed public key in a certificate will crash the verify code if it is set to ignore public key decoding errors. Exploitation of an affected application would result in a denial of service vulnerability. 4. Due to an error in the SSL/TLS protocol handling, a server will parse a client certificate when one is not specifically requested. IMPACT: Potential Denial of Service PLATFORM: HP9000 Servers running HP-UX release B.11.00, B.11.11 with HP-UX AAA Server, A.06.01.02 or earlier, (AAAServer/T1428AA) This product included OpenSSL 0.9.7b. **REVISED 01** SOLUTION: For HP-UX releases B.11.00, B.11.11, download new HP-UX AAA Server product from <software.hp.com> For AAAServer/T1428AA download the following: - HP-UX AAA Server A.06.01.02.04 or later (AAAServer) This product includes OpenSSL 0.9.7b + patches. MANUAL ACTIONS: Yes - Update Install the product containing the fix. Remove AAAServer (T1428AA) and migrate to HP-UX AAA Server A.06.01.02.04 or later. AVAILABILITY: Complete product bundles are available from <software.hp.com>. CHANGE SUMMARY: Rev. 1 - product bundles are available from <software.hp.com>, ftp site has been removed. ----------------------------------------------------------------- A. Background An SSL/TLS testing suite developed by the NISCC (National Infrastructure Security Co-Ordination Centre in the UK) has identified ASN.1 parsing vulnerabilities in OpenSSL. The HP-UX AAA Server (T1428AA) is affected by latest OpenSSL vulnerabilities. AFFECTED VERSIONS ================== The following is a list by HP-UX revision of affected filesets or patches and fix information. To determine if a system has an affected version, search the output of "swlist -a revision -l fileset" for an affected fileset or patch, then determine if a fixed revision or applicable patch is installed. The affected filesets are: (product.fileset) ================== HP-UX B.11.00 HP-UX B.11.11 AAAServer fix: install revision A.06.01.02.04 or subsequent END AFFECTED VERSIONS **REVISED 01** B. Recommended solution For customers using the HP-UX AAA Server (T1428AA) --> revision A.06.01.02 and earlier, download the depot from <software.hp.com>. ================================================== To fix the problem: 1. Determine the affected version. 2. Remove HP-UX AAA Server (T1428AA) 3. Install the appropriate HP-UX AAA Server depot. The fix requires removing AAAServer (T1428AA) from the system and migrating to HP-UX AAA Server A.06.01.02.04 or later. --> NOTE: Even if you recently installed the depot from the --> ftp site, product users should overwrite the --> previous downloads of this version A.06.01.02.04 --> with the latest one from software.hp.com. There --> are changes in the pre- and post-install control and --> SD scripts. --> It is not necessary to remove the installed version. Check for AAA Installation -------------------------- To determine if the HP-UX AAA Server is installed on your system, use Software Distributor's swlist command. For example, the results of the command swlist -l product | grep -i AAA might show: AAAServer A.06.01.02 AAA Server Stop HP-UX AAA Server --------------------- Before updating, make sure to stop any previous HP-UX AAA Server binary. Otherwise, the previous binary will continue running, preventing the new one from starting, although the installation may be successful. After determining which HP-UX AAA Server is installed, stop the process with the following command: kill `cat /var/opt/aaa/run/radiusd.pid | awk '{print $1}'` Stop any active tomcat processes using the following command: /opt/hpws/tomcat/bin/shutdown.sh **REVISED 01** Download and Install HP-UX AAA Server ----------------------------- --> - Download HP-UX AAA Server depot file from software.hp.com. --> - Register the depot using "swreg" and install using the --> "swinstall" SD commands. - Remove AAAServer (T1428AA) and migrate to HP-UX AAA Server A.06.01.02.04 or later. Installation of this new version of HP-UX AAA Server over an existing HP-UX AAA Server installation is supported, while installation over any non-HP AAA Server is NOT supported. Removing an HP-UX AAA Server Installation ---------------------------- If you rather remove HP-UX AAA Server from your system than install a newer version to resolve the security problem, use both Software Distributor's "swremove" command. Note: Before executing swremove, stop HP-UX AAA Server and the active tomcat processes. Remove the HP-UX AAA Server using SD command: swremove T1428AA C.

(near the bottom of the page) Once in the archive the third link is to the current Security Patch Matrix. Updated daily, this matrix categorizes security patches by platform/OS release, and by bulletin topic. Security Patch Check completely automates the process of reviewing the patch matrix for 11.XX systems. Please note that installing the patches listed in the Security Patch Matrix will completely implement a security bulletin _only_ if the MANUAL ACTIONS field specifies "No." The Security Patch Check tool can verify that a security bulletin has been implemented on HP-UX 11.XX systems providing that the fix is completely implemented in a patch with no manual actions required. The Security Patch Check tool cannot verify fixes implemented via a product upgrade. For information on the Security Patch Check tool, see: http://www.software.hp.com/cgi-bin/swdepot_parser.cgi/cgi/ displayProductInfo.pl?productNumber=B6834AA The security patch matrix is also available via anonymous ftp: ftp://ftp.itrc.hp.com/export/patches/hp-ux_patch_matrix/ On the "Support Information Digest Main" page: click on the "HP Security Bulletin Archive".
