Trustix Secure Linux Bugfix Advisory #2005-0017

Package name:      apache bind imagemagick initscripts kernel libcap libpcap
                   perl-convert-uulib php pptpd proftpd setup squid 
Summary:           Package fixes
Date:              2005-05-02
Affected versions: Trustix Secure Linux 2.1
                   Trustix Secure Linux 2.2
                   Trustix Operating System - Enterprise Server 2

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package description:
  apache:
  Apache is a full featured web server that is freely available, and also
  happens to be the most widely used.
  
  bind:
  BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain) is an implementation of the DNS
  (Domain Name System) protocols. BIND includes a DNS server (named),
  which resolves host names to IP addresses, and a resolver library
  (routines for applications to use when interfacing with DNS).  A DNS
  server allows clients to name resources or objects and share the
  information with other network machines.  The named DNS server can be
  used on workstations as a caching name server, but is generally only
  needed on one machine for an entire network.
  
  imagemagick:
  ImageMagick is a robust collection of tools and libraries to read, write,
  and manipulate an image in any of the more popular image formats
  including GIF, JPEG, PNG, PDF, and Photo CD.
  
  initscripts:
  The initscripts package contains the basic system scripts used to boot
  your Trustix Secure Linux system, change runlevels, and shut the system
  down cleanly.  Initscripts also contains the scripts that activate and
  deactivate most network interfaces.
  
  kernel:
  The kernel package contains the Linux kernel (vmlinuz), the core of your
  Trustix Secure Linux operating system.  The kernel handles the basic
  functions of the operating system:  memory allocation, process allocation,
  device input and output, etc.
  
  libcap:
  The POSIX.1e capability library for Linux. This package contains the
  getcap and setcap binaries and manual pages.
  
  libpcap:
  Libpcap provides a portable framework for low-level network
  monitoring.  Libpcap can provide network statistics collection,
  security monitoring and network debugging.  Since almost every system
  vendor provides a different interface for packet capture, the libpcap
  authors created this system-independent API to ease in porting and to
  alleviate the need for several system-dependent packet capture modules
  in each application.
  
  perl-convert-uulib:
  Convert-UUlib module from CPAN for perl
  
  php:
  PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language.  PHP attempts to make it
  easy for developers to write dynamically generated web pages.  PHP
  also offers built-in database integration for several commercial
  and non-commercial database management systems, so writing a
  database-enabled web page with PHP is fairly simple.  The most
  common use of PHP coding is probably as a replacement for CGI
  scripts.  The mod_php module enables the Apache web server to
  understand and process the embedded PHP language in web pages.
  
  pptpd:
  PPTPd, Point-to-Point Tunnelling Protocol Daemon, offers out
  connections to pptp clients to become virtual members of the IP pool
  owned by the pptp server.  In effect, these clients become virtual
  members of the local subnet, regardless of what their real IP address
  is.  A tunnel is built between the pptp server and client, and packets
  from the subnet are wrapped and passed between server and client
  similar to other C/S protocols.
  
  proftpd:
  ProFTPd is an enhanced FTP server with a focus toward simplicity,
  security, and ease of configuration.  It features a very Apache-like
  configuration syntax, and a highly customizable server infrastructure,
  including support for multiple 'virtual' FTP servers, anonymous FTP, and
  permission-based directory visibility.
  
  setup:
  The setup package contains a set of important system configuration and
  setup files, such as passwd, group, and profile.
  
  squid:
  Squid is a high-performance proxy caching server for Web clients,
  supporting FTP, gopher, and HTTP data objects. Unlike traditional
  caching software, Squid handles all requests in a single,
  non-blocking, I/O-driven process. Squid keeps meta data and especially
  hot objects cached in RAM, caches DNS lookups, supports non-blocking
  DNS lookups, and implements negative caching of failed requests.
  

Problem description:
  apache:
  - Fixed logrotate. Bug #454
  
  bind:
  - Make sure init script does not nuke the jail if the umount fails.
  
  imagemagick:
  - Exploitation of a heap overflow vulnerability could allow execution of
    arbitrary code or couse denial of service.  A heap overflow exists in
    ReadPNMImage() function, that is used to decode a PNM image files.
  - Fix Silent File Conflicts
  
  initscripts:
  - Add separate inittab package.
  
  kernel:
  - Seems the ipt_recent module was having pushing debug statements to the
    console.
  
  libcap:
  - Fixed the libraries to act as shared correctly.
  - Fixed the Unresolved symbols list with it.
  
  libpcap:
  - Fixed the libraries to act as shared. 
  - Fixed the Unresolved symbols list with it.
  
  perl-convert-uulib:
  - Fixed Buffer overflow, a malformed parameter can be provided by an 
    attacker allowing a read operation to overflow a buffer. Credits to 
    Mark Martinec and Robert Lewis with the discovery.
  
  php:
  - Added pcntl_* functions in php cli.  Bug #384.
  
  pptpd:
  - Fixed return status bug in init script. Bug#447.
  
  proftpd:
  - Retrack back from last changes. We donot make these changes in a
    Released Distro
  - Location of log changed and touched few files, Bug #450.
  
  setup:
  - Added ttyS0 and ttyS1 to securettys to allow serial console
  
  squid:
  - A race window has been discovered where Set-Cookie headers may leak
    to another users if the requested server relies on the old obsolete
    (since 1997) Netscape Set-Cookie specifications in how caches should
    handle the Set-Cookie header on otherwise cacheable content.
  

Action:
  We recommend that all systems with this package installed be upgraded.
  Please note that if you do not need the functionality provided by this
  package, you may want to remove it from your system.
