Title: Security vulnerability in OpenSSH
TEXT
---------------------------------------------------------------
HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY SECURITY BULLETIN: #005
Originally issued: 12 December '01
---------------------------------------------------------------
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 the
customer's failure to fully implement instructions in this Security
Bulletin as soon as possible.
Because the vulnerability does not require a Hewlett-Packard Secure OS
1.0 patch or re-packaging of the RPM affected by the advisory, the
RPMs have not been produced or tested by Hewlett-Packard.
---------------------------------------------------------------
PROBLEM: Security vulnerability in OpenSSH.
PLATFORM: Any system running HP Secure OS software for Linux Release 1.0
DAMAGE: Potential execution of commands by an intruder.
SOLUTION: Apply the appropriate RPMs (see section B below).
MANUAL ACTIONS: None
AVAILABILITY: The RPMs are available now.
---------------------------------------------------------------
A. Background
OpenSSH contains a vulnerability that permits an intruder to
execute arbitrary code if the UseLogin directive is enabled.
UseLogin is not enabled by default on HP Secure OS Software
for Linux.
B. Fixing the problem
Hewlett-Packard recommends that customers download the RPMs
listed in the following Red Hat Security Advisory:
http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/RHSA-2001-161.html
To install the security advisory RPMs, use the following sequence
of commands:
1. If you use the tripwire product, we recommend that you run a
a consistency check and fix any violations before installing
the security advisory RPM.
tripwire --check --interactive
2. Install the advisory RPM from the root account.
rpm -F <advisory RPM name>
3. Update the tripwire database
tripwire --check --interactive
NOTE:
The rpm -q <package name> command can be used to determine if the
product is installed. Hewlett-Packard recommends applying the
security advisory fixes to installed packages only. The -F option
to the RPM installer will only apply the fix if the package is
currently installed on the system. Dependent RPMs can be found by
using the "Find Latest RPMs" search facility at
http://www.redhat.com/apps/download. To find the latest dependent
RPM enter the RPM's name in the "By Keyword" box.
