Security news
cdrecord trouble
September 15, 2004
This article was contributed by Jake Edge.
Making sweeping statements about the security of a particular program
can come back to haunt you rather quickly as the recent case of a local
root exploit in cdrecord demonstrates. During a discussion of recent changes
in the 2.6 Linux kernel (as covered
by LWN), Jörg Schilling, the author of cdrecord, made a comment about
the security of that program:
Judging from the number of reports, I would guess that the Linux kernel is
much more insecure than cdrecord.
That statement could well be true, but in making it, Jörg may have
inspired someone to take a closer look at cdrecord.
Max Vozeler recently found that cdrecord fails to drop privileges when it executes
an external program, and that users can specify which external program is run
via the RSH environment variable. If cdrecord is
installed setuid root, any local user can exploit this vulnerability to
gain root access; multiple exploits have already been posted on bugtraq.
Jörg recommends installing
cdrecord as a setuid root.
cdrecord uses the elevated privileges to lock its buffers into physical
memory and to request real-time scheduling, both of which reduce the
chances of a buffer underrun. In addition, cdrecord opens the
SCSI device before dropping privileges back to that of the user who executed
it. In the case of a remote device, it executes the command to access
that device, but prior to this bug being fixed, it did that with
elevated privileges.
Other means for allowing non-root users to
burn CDs do exist, but they are less secure, according to Jörg:
What some people did (chmod on /dev/ entries) was definitely always a bigger
security risk than running cdrecord suid root.
Another alternative, which is used by some distribution vendors (notably
Red Hat and SuSE), is to disallow non-root users from burning CDs; clearly this
is the most secure choice, but can be inconvenient for users and
system administrators. Many administrators and some CD burning front end programs override
this choice and, in this case,
that could lead to a large security hole that may not be patched by the
distribution. To avoid this possibility, some distributions have issued
cdrecord updates even though they do not install the program in a setuid
mode; see the LWN vulnerability
entry for the current list.
Jörg has fixed this bug in the most recent version of his cdrtools
package (2.01a38, available from his
cdrecord page).

Mozilla, Firefox, and Thunderbird security issues
The announcements for the new releases from the Mozilla project discussed
new features at length, but were silent on one other point: those releases
include fixes for a number of security vulnerabilities, some of which can
lead to remote code execution. See
this
list of fixed vulnerabilities for several good reasons to upgrade.

Webmin, Usermin: Multiple vulnerabilities in Usermin

CVE #(s): | CAN-2004-0559

| Created: | September 13, 2004 |
Updated: | September 23, 2004 |
| Description: |
There is an input validation bug in the webmail feature of Usermin.
Additionally, the Webmin and Usermin installation scripts write to
/tmp/.webmin without properly checking if it exists first.
The first vulnerability allows a remote attacker to inject arbitrary
shell code in a specially-crafted e-mail. This could lead to remote
code execution with the privileges of the user running Webmin or
Usermin.
The second could allow local users who know Webmin or Usermin is going
to be installed to have arbitrary files be overwritten by creating a
symlink by the name /tmp/.webmin that points to some target file, e.g.
/etc/passwd. |
