Security
SELinux has become, to many, the mechanism for high-security Linux
deployments. The SELinux framework is considered sufficiently powerful,
flexible, and universal that some developers have contemplated removing the
Linux security module (LSM) interface altogether. When SELinux does
everything, why have hooks for anything else? The fact of the matter,
however, is that SELinux is not the only high-security approach out there.
On September 27, version
1.2.5 of the Rule Set Based Access Control
(RSBAC) patch was released. RSBAC has been around for several years,
but it has never quite achieved the prominence of SELinux.
Like SELinux, RSBAC inserts hooks throughout the kernel source. RSBAC does
not use the LSM framework, however. This
page explains why; in short, the RSBAC developer (Amon Ott) does not
like how LSM exposes kernel internals to security modules, and the LSM
hooks are not nearly extensive enough for RSBAC. In fact, RSBAC adds hooks
in many places (individual device drivers, for example) where LSM does not
tread. RSBAC hooks can also change system state in ways not allowed with
the LSM framework.
With the hooks in place, RSBAC allows for several different access control
regimes, all of which can be mixed and matched as desired. Available
options include:
- Authenticated user: essentially a list of user IDs which may be
assumed by each process on the system. This module is required by
most other RSBAC security schemes.
- User
management: a replacement for the PAM and shadow mechanisms which
moves most of the user and group management tasks into the kernel.
- Role
compatibility: assigns roles to users and programs, and ensures
that they match at run time.
- Access
control lists: a variant of file ACLs which can take additional
RSBAC features (such as roles) into account.
- Mandatory
access control: assigns security levels to processes and objects,
and prevents access between different levels.
- Dazuko:
a specialized interface for virus scanning applications. Dazuko
creates a special purpose device which can be used to intercept file
accesses; malware scans can then be performed before the access is
allowed to succeed. There is a ClamAV interface to Dazuko.
There are several other models available, see the RSBAC models
page for the full list. One thing that should be clear is that the
RSBAC framework has been used to implement a wide variety of access control
mechanisms. The project's long history suggests a stable user base, and
RSBAC has been adopted by some distributions (including the Adamantix (formerly "Trusted Debian") and
Hardened Gentoo
projects). The non-LSM approach seems likely to keep RSBAC out of the
mainline kernel indefinitely (nobody is even proposing merging it), but
RSBAC appears to be a viable option regardless.

MozillaZine reports that a recently developed Firefox
IDN link buffer overflow vulnerability exploit
has been developed.
" The PwnZilla 5 code takes advantage of the international domain name (IDN) link buffer overflow flaw, details of which were published earlier this month. The weblog post says that the exploit code "could let attackers take complete control over computers cruising the Web with unpatched versions of the Firefox Internet browser". Previous public exploits for the vulnerability have been basic proof-of-concepts that simply crash the browser."

|
| Created: | September 26, 2005 |
Updated: | September 28, 2005 |
| Description: |
Attached files are opened without any warnings directly from the user's cache directory. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary Javascript in context of "file://". Normally, filename extensions are determined by the "Content-Type" in Opera Mail. However, by appending an additional '.' to the end of a filename, an HTML file could be spoofed to be e.g. "image.jpg.". These two vulnerabilities combined may be exploited to conduct script insertion attacks if the user chooses to view an attachment named e.g. "image.jpg." e.g. resulting in disclosure of local files. These are fixed in Opera 8.50. |

Watchfire reported a flaw that occurred when using the Apache server as an

libgd2: buffer overflows in PNG handling

CVE #(s): | CAN-2004-0990
CAN-2004-0941
|
| Created: | October 29, 2004 |
Updated: | June 28, 2006 |
| Description: |
Several buffer overflows have been discovered in libgd's PNG handling
functions.
If an attacker tricked a user into loading a malicious PNG image, they
could leverage this into executing arbitrary code in the context of
the user opening image. Most importantly, this library is commonly
used in PHP. One possible target would be a PHP driven photo website
that lets users upload images. Therefore this vulnerability might lead
to privilege escalation to a web server's privileges.
Multiple buffer overflows in the gd graphics library (libgd) 2.0.21 and
earlier may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via malformed
image files that trigger the overflows due to improper calls to the
gdMalloc function. |

parses remote resources and allows them to influence the URL, then this
flaw could be used to execute arbitrary code. |

| Description: |
A number of vulnerabilities were discovered in OpenVPN that were fixed in
the 2.0.1 release:
A DoS attack against the server when run with "verb 0" and without
"tls-auth" when a client connection to the server fails certificate
verification, the OpenSSL error queue is not properly flushed. This could
result in another unrelated client instance on the server seeing the error
and responding to it, resulting in a disconnection of the unrelated client.
A DoS attack against the server by an authenticated client that sends a
packet which fails to decrypt on the server, the OpenSSL error queue was
not properly flushed. This could result in another unrelated client
instance on the server seeing the error and responding to it, resulting in
a disconnection of the unrelated client.
A DoS attack against the server by an authenticated client is possible in
"dev tap" ethernet bridging mode where a malicious client could
theoretically flood the server with packets appearing to come from hundreds
of thousands of different MAC addresses, resulting in the OpenVPN process
exhausting system virtual memory.
If two or more client machines tried to connect to the server at the same
time via TCP, using the same client certificate, a race condition could
crash the server if --duplicate-cn is not enabled on the server. |
