______________________________________________________________________________
1) problem description, brief discussion
Chris Evans reported three vulnerabilities in libXpm which can
be exploited remotely by providing malformed XPM image files.
The function xpmParseColors() is vulnerable to an integer overflow
and a stack-based buffer overflow. The functions ParseAndPutPixels()
as well as ParsePixels() is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow
too.
Additionally Matthieu Herrb found two one-byte buffer overflows.
2) solution/workaround
There is no workaround known.
3) special instructions and notes
After you have updated your system it would be best to restart the
X server to remove all running instances of vulnerable libXpm code
from your computer's memory.
4) package location and checksums
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.

5) Pending vulnerabilities in SUSE Distributions and Workarounds:
- samba
This version fixes several bugs in the Samba suite including two
denial-of-service (DoS) Vulnerabilities.
Microsoft Windows XP clients with installed Service Pack 2 crash the
Samba (smbd) process while printing.
Using macros in the smb.conf 'log file' statement might lead to an
infinite recursion.
A wrong counter and pointer handling in samba-vscan leads to a crash
of the Samba (smbd) process sometimes.
A DoS bug in smbd may allow an unauthenticated user to cause smbd to
spawn new processes, each one entering an infinite loop. After sending
a sufficient amount of packets it is possible to exhaust the memory
resources on the server. This issue is known as
CAN-2004-0807.
A DoS bug in nmbd may allow an attacker to remotely crash the nmbd
daemon. This issue is known as
CAN-2004-0808.
New packages are available on our FTP servers.
- a2ps
This update fixes the handling of filenames that include shell meta-
characters. Without this patch it was possible to execute shell
commands via a2ps by providing a filename that includes meta-
characters as an argument.
New packages are available on our FTP servers.
- mozilla
We are in the process of releasing updates for mozilla (and related
browsers), fixing various issues:
CAN-2004-0597,
CAN-2004-0718,
CAN-2004-0722,
CAN-2004-0757,
CAN-2004-0758,
CAN-2004-0759, CAN-2004-
0760,
CAN-2004-0761,
CAN-2004-0762,
CAN-2004-0763,
CAN-2004-0764 and
CAN-2004-0765.
We will give you concrete details in a separate mozilla advisory when
the updates are available.
- mc
The console filesystem browser mc was found vulnerable to various
meta-char attacks in the extfs perl and shell scripts. These bugs
can be exploited by providing a malformed archive file to a victim
user to execute shell commands with her/his privileges.
(
CAN-2004-0494)
New packages will be available soon.
- squid
Certain malformed NTLMSSP packets can crash the NTLM helpers
provided by Squid (
CAN-2004-0832).
New packages will be available soon.
- gaim
This security update fixes four security issues which are registered as:
+
CAN-2004-0754
An integer overflow in the groupware message handler exists in Gaim.
+
CAN-2004-0784
A shell escape vulnerability in the handling of smiley theme tar-
ball filenames could lead to arbitrary command execution.
+
CAN-2004-0785
Buffer overflows in Gaim could lead to a denial of service or
arbitrary code execution.
Additionally a buffer overflow in the URL parsing code of gaim is fixed.
This bug let to remote system compromise with the privileges of the user
running gaim.
- nessus
The nessus-adduser creates temporary files in $TMPDIR in an insecure
manner.
New packages will be available soon.
- konqueror
Westpoint notified us about a cookie stealing problem in various web-
browsers (
http://www.westpoint.ltd.uk/advisories/wp-04-0001.txt).
The already available kdelibs3 packages (announced in SUSE-SA:2004:026)
include patches for this vulnerability. We would like to thank
Westpoint for their cooperation.
Other browsers (Mozilla, Opera, ...) will be updated as soon as
possible.

6) 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
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
to verify the signature of the package, where 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
