[guru] VMware biztonsagi frissitesek
DATE: Tue, 09 Mar 2010 00:56:23 +0100
Általános javítások:
--------------------
A vCenter java javítása számtalan biztonsági hibát orvosol.
ESX szervíz konzol javítások:
-----------------------------
A net-snmp csomagban levő snmpd daemon egy nullával osztás miatt DoS-olható.
A newt csomag heap buffer overflow hibát tartalmaz.
Az nfs-utils tcp wrapper támogatása nem megfelelő, bizonyos körülmények
között a /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} állományok ellenőrzése elmaradt.
Több biztonsági hibát is találtak a glib2 csomag base64 kezelésében.
Az openssl csomag DTLS implementációja, illetve a BMPString és
UniversalString ASN.1 adattípusok megjelenítése DoS-olható.
A bind DNSSEC ellenőrzés nélkül cache-elt válaszokat, ez cache poisoning
támadást tett lehetővé.
Az expat rutinkönyvtár az XML állomány UTF-8 sztringjeinek ellenőrzése
buffer overflow hibákat tartalmaz.
Az sshd egy Red Hat specifikus patch-et tartalmaz, ami a ChrootDirectory
opciójának megadott könyvtár jog ellenőrzésén lazít. A támadó tetszőleges
felhasználó jogaival kódot futtathat.
Az ntp daemon protokoll kezelése hibás, egy hamisított csomag segítségével
két daemon ping-pong-ozásra késztethető.
Kihozták a kernel javítását, ami számtalan problémát orvosol.
Javították a kpartx, libvolume-id, device-mapper-multipath, fipscheck,
dbus, dbus-libs, és ed csomagokat is.

VMware Security Advisory
Advisory ID: VMSA-2010-0003
Synopsis: ESX Service Console update for net-snmp
Issue date: 2010-02-16
Updated on: 2010-02-16 (initial release of advisory)
CVE numbers: CVE-2009-1887
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Summary
Update for Service Console package net-snmp
2. Relevant releases
VMware ESX 3.5 without patch ESX350-201002401-SG
3. Problem Description
a. Service Console package net-snmp updated
This patch updates the service console package for net-snmp,
net-snmp-utils, and net-snmp-libs to version
net-snmp-5.0.9-2.30E.28. This net-snmp update fixes a divide-by-
zero flaw in the snmpd daemon. A remote attacker could issue a
specially crafted GETBULK request that could cause the snmpd daemon
to fail.
This vulnerability was introduced by an incorrect fix for
CVE-2008-4309.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org) has
assigned the name CVE-2009-1887 to this issue.
Note: After installing the previous patch for net-snmp
(ESX350-200901409-SG), running the snmpbulkwalk command with the
parameter -CnX results in no output, and the snmpd daemon stops.
The following table lists what action remediates the vulnerability
(column 4) if a solution is available.

1. Summary
ESX Service Console updates for newt, nfs-utils, and glib2 packages.
vMA updates for newt, nfs-util, glib2, kpartx, libvolume-id,
device-mapper-multipath, fipscheck, dbus, dbus-libs, ed, openssl,
bind, expat, openssh, ntp and kernel packages.
2. Relevant releases
VMware ESX 4.0.0 without patch ESX400-201002404-SG, ESX400-201002407-SG,
ESX400-201002406-SG
VMware vMA 4.0 before patch 3
3. Problem Description
a. vMA and Service Console update for newt to 0.52.2-12.el5_4.1
Newt is a programming library for color text mode, widget based
user interfaces. Newt can be used to add stacked windows, entry
widgets, checkboxes, radio buttons, labels, plain text fields,
scrollbars, etc., to text mode user interfaces.
A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way newt
processes content that is to be displayed in a text dialog box.
A local attacker could issue a specially-crafted text dialog box
display request (direct or via a custom application), leading to a
denial of service (application crash) or, potentially, arbitrary
code execution with the privileges of the user running the
application using the newt library.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the name CVE-2009-2905 to this issue.
The following table lists what action remediates the vulnerability
(column 4) if a solution is available.

vMA 4.0 RHEL5 Patch 3
* hosted products are VMware Workstation, Player, ACE, Server, Fusion.
b. vMA and Service Console update for vMA package nfs-utils to
1.0.9-42.el5
The nfs-utils package provides a daemon for the kernel NFS server
and related tools.
It was discovered that nfs-utils did not use tcp_wrappers
correctly. Certain hosts access rules defined in "/etc/hosts.allow"
and "/etc/hosts.deny" may not have been honored, possibly allowing
remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the name CVE-2008-4552 to this issue.
The following table lists what action remediates the vulnerability
(column 4) if a solution is available.

vMA 4.0 RHEL5 Patch 3
* hosted products are VMware Workstation, Player, ACE, Server, Fusion.
c. vMA and Service Console package glib2 updated to 2.12.3-4.el5_3.1
GLib is the low-level core library that forms the basis for projects
such
as GTK+ and GNOME. It provides data structure handling for C,
portability wrappers, and interfaces for such runtime functionality
as an event loop, threads, dynamic loading, and an object system.
Multiple integer overflows in glib/gbase64.c in GLib before 2.20
allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a
long string that is converted either from or to a base64
representation.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the name CVE-2008-4316 to this issue.

d. vMA and Service Console update for openssl to 0.9.8e-12.el5
SSL is a toolkit implementing SSL v2/v3 and TLS protocols with full-
strength cryptography world-wide.
Multiple denial of service flaws were discovered in OpenSSL's DTLS
implementation. A remote attacker could use these flaws to cause a
DTLS server to use excessive amounts of memory, or crash on an
invalid memory access or NULL pointer dereference.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the names CVE-2009-1377, CVE-2009-1378,
CVE-2009-1379, CVE-2009-1386, CVE-2009-1387 to these issues.
An input validation flaw was found in the handling of the BMPString
and UniversalString ASN1 string types in OpenSSL's
ASN1_STRING_print_ex() function. An attacker could use this flaw to
create a specially-crafted X.509 certificate that could cause
applications using the affected function to crash when printing
certificate contents.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the name CVE-2009-0590 to this issue.

e. vMA and Service Console package bind updated to 9.3.6-4.P1.el5_4.1
It was discovered that BIND was incorrectly caching responses
without performing proper DNSSEC validation, when those responses
were received during the resolution of a recursive client query
that requested DNSSEC records but indicated that checking should be
disabled. A remote attacker could use this flaw to bypass the DNSSEC
validation check and perform a cache poisoning attack if the target
BIND server was receiving such client queries.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the name CVE-2009-4022 to this issue.

f. vMA and Service Console package expat updated to 1.95.8-8.3.el5_4.2.
Two buffer over-read flaws were found in the way Expat handled
malformed UTF-8 sequences when processing XML files. A specially-
crafted XML file could cause applications using Expat to fail while
parsing the file.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the names CVE-2009-3560 and CVE-2009-3720 to these

g. vMA and Service Console package openssh update to 4.3p2-36.el5_4.2
A Red Hat specific patch used in the openssh packages as shipped in
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 (RHSA-2009:1287) loosened certain
ownership requirements for directories used as arguments for the
ChrootDirectory configuration options. A malicious user that also
has or previously had non-chroot shell access to a system could
possibly use this flaw to escalate their privileges and run
commands as any system user.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the name CVE-2009-2904 to this issue.

h. vMA and Service Console package ntp updated to
ntp-4.2.2p1-9.el5_4.1.i386.rpm
A flaw was discovered in the way ntpd handled certain malformed NTP
packets. ntpd logged information about all such packets and replied
with an NTP packet that was treated as malformed when received by
another ntpd. A remote attacker could use this flaw to create an NTP
packet reply loop between two ntpd servers through a malformed packet
with a spoofed source IP address and port, causing ntpd on those
servers to use excessive amounts of CPU time and fill disk space with
log messages.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org)
