Their systems guy is named Jeff Wade -- he's a good guy and reminds me of you in many ways. He's very security consious and has set up what looks like a solid and robust ops network. I was wondering if you'd be willing to talk with Jeff on the phone. I suggested that he talk to you about the various systems processes we used on EUVE: security, ECOs, etc. Let me know what you think. Thanks ...

First, it is meant to be an forum to allow those of us that use linux/administer linux to exchange questions/answers/suggestions amongst each other. Second, I plan on posting information about security updates (mainly the CERT Advisories) to it with emphasis on linux issues...to help you protect your linux machines better. There may be other catagories later on, but this is a good start. Issue 1. PAST CERT Advisories: I would direct everyone to the web site that deals with this and suggest everyone read through the last advisories concerning Unix (say for the past two years or so). It would be a good idea to verify on your machines at home and laptops, etc, that these have been dealt with satisfactorily. The URL for CERT is www.cert.org. You might also want to get put on the mailing lists for CERT Advisories here...it usually gives you a day notice before something bad happens (you might even be able to prevent it from happening). Issue 2. Helpful web site for Linux users: One of the most helpful sites for setting up and configuring your linux system is http://linuxdoc.org/ and its mirror sites. From here you can branch out to lots of other useful sites. Issue 3. Department resources...we have CDs/DVD media with RedHat 7.2, 7.1, Suse 7.3, and Debian (whatever the latest release is) on them. Some of these are my own personal copies, so please take care of them should you borrow them. We won't, at present, provide more than cursory support for installing and configuring them...at some time in the future, when we have more staff available to do it, we may provide more robust support. Issue 4. Always a good idea to look for things in the comp.os.linux newsgroups. If you have never used USENET news, the campus NNTP server is agate.berkeley.edu and you might subscribe to several if not all of the groups under the comp.os.linux catagory. Also, groups.google.com is helpful for archived news postings.

A pilot face recognition system at Palm Beach (FL) International Airport had an accuracy rate of less that 50%; airport authorities decided against making the technology a part of their security procedure. A German technology magazine's tests of facial recognition systems and fingerprint readers showed the technologies were easily fooled.

Vendors never established standards, which made interoperability a big problem. They also required a lot of money up front, which was fine until security budgets started getting tighter. One company that saw their PKI business drop to nothing has refocused their energy on smaller projects. http://www2.cio.com/research/security/edit/a05232002.html [Editor's (Schultz) Note: The fact that the PKI movement is essentially dead should come as no surprise. The more interesting question now is what will rise out of the proverbial rubble of PKI's ruins to replace it and when. Whoever provides a good alternative solution has a lot to gain. (Murray): Infrastructure has scale; e.g., application, system, network, enterprise, cross-enterprise, industry, national, and global. We design it top-down but we implement it bottoms up, one application at a time. We are doing successful applications but it is naive to believe that we will build the national or global infrastructure in less time than it took us to build the phone system, the highway system, or the internet.] ********************* Sponsored Link ********************************* NEUTRALIZE perimeter attacks and stop false alarms.

"Before a major attack there are often small, subtle ones while the attackers try out their methods for carrying out the larger attack. The University of Chicago has about 25,000 people on its network and about 13,000 computers. We are currently averaging about one compromised machine a day (it has been higher than normal recently). We have tons of machines that run MS-SQL, and even more that run the MS Data Engine. Some of these machines are run by vendors, who don't password the 'sa' account. Many of these machines are control machines for scientific equipment which *do not work* if there is a password on the 'sa' account. However, when the SQL Snake worm was released we had zero machines infected. This wasn't because of a technical solution -- we have no firewall, no large defensive borders. We were able to stay off the worm by successfully noting an early indicator. In particular, a few months back there was a lesser known worm called CBlade. CBlade, like SQL Snake propagates via MS-SQL servers with no password on the 'sa' account. As a threat, however, it never took off. Why? Because the CBlade worm connected to a web site at the Philadelphia Museum of Art before propagating. The Art Museum took down the offending web site and CBlade was neutralized. However, our policy allows us to immediately remove from the University's network any machine that is an immediate threat to the network. This includes any machine that is vulnerable to a worm. We recognized that, while the CBlade worm was neutralized, a variant would be easy to write. The next one wouldn't always connect to a single web site, it would connect back to the infecting host. As such, we removed all MS-SQL (including MSDE) machines from the network if they didn't have an 'sa' password. Writing a fast propagating, effective worm is not, currently, an easy thing to do. It is much more likely that someone will write one that isn't effective before the effective one is let loose. Watching for, and more importantly, acting upon, these early indicators is something that we as a community need to make sure is a priority. There's not a bug that's found that our group here doesn't ask ourselves how likely it will be to be used as a worm and what the largest potential damage from the bug is.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Content-Length: 2228 Status: RO X-Status: $$$$ X-UID: 0000000045 Alright, let's see if any of you have any bright ideas about this one: In the process of using Acronis Disk Administrator to resize my ext3 partition I mistakenly installed their dorky bootloader (Acronis OS Selector) over GRUB on the mbr of my hard drive. You would think that wouldn't be a problem and that I could do a 'grub-install hda' to re-write GRUB stage1 to the mbr. I did this and for some unexplainable reason I also did 'grub-install hda1'. Now hda1 is my Windows 98 SE partition! This means the small bit of code that is GRUB stage1 was written to my Windows partition. Now, when I boot up, I get the GRUB bootloader menu and can boot into Linux fine (thank you God) but when I choose to boot to Windows it simply executes the GRUB stage1 code (which outputs to the screen 'GRUB loading stage2...') and hangs. I've tried booting with a win98se bootdisk and doing a 'sys c:' and even 'fdisk /mbr' followed by a 'sys c:' but everytime the sys command returns 'invalid media type reading drive c, abort, retry, fail?' I can still mount the dos partition so I can backup any data or files and reformat that partition as a last resort (then I'd have to decide whether to shun MS forevert or to reinstall windoze). I'd prefer to just fix the damage that the 'grub-install hda1' did... but I've reached the limit of my expertise (and maybe the expertise/interest of the bug-grub mailing list).

I did accomplish getting a 2.5.48 kernel to fully boot and recognize everything cleanly, but, I'm stuck on trying to make a bootable install cd with that kernel. There's a great howto for making a modified redhat boot cd with different rpm's and what not, but the howto does not cover modifying the kernel (also, see isolinux dir under the redhat install cd's). So, anyone done this before? I have feelers out for it on several news groups and I'm waiting for a response from someone at redhat, but if anyone local has done this or knows where to find out more quickly, please e-mail me. - Colby --------------------------------------------------------------------- James Colby Kraybill Radio Astronomy Laboratory colby@astro.berkeley.edu University of California, Berkeley From colby@astron.Berkeley.EDU Sun Nov 24 00:37:55 2002 Received: from celestial.Berkeley.EDU (celestial [128.32.92.243]) by astron.Berkeley.EDU (8.11.4/8.11.4) with ESMTP id gAO8bmw15196 for ; Sun, 24 Nov 2002 00:37:48 -0800 (PST) Received: from localhost (colby@localhost) by celestial.Berkeley.EDU (8.11.4/8.11.4) with ESMTP id gAO8blx03905 for ; Sun, 24 Nov 2002 00:37:47 -0800 (PST) Date: Sun, 24 Nov 2002 00:37:47 -0800 (PST) From: James Colby Kraybill To: linuxusers@astron.Berkeley.EDU Subject: Laptop beaten into submission Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Content-Length: 445 Status: RO X-Status: $$$$ X-UID: 0000000050 Thanks go to Jeffrey Newman and Michael Fitzgerald for responding quickly.

Systems Affected * Sendmail Pro (all versions) * Sendmail Switch 2.1 prior to 2.1.5 * Sendmail Switch 2.2 prior to 2.2.5 * Sendmail Switch 3.0 prior to 3.0.3 * Sendmail for NT 2.X prior to 2.6.2 * Sendmail for NT 3.0 prior to 3.0.3 * Systems running open-source sendmail versions prior to 8.12.8, including UNIX and Linux systems Overview There is a vulnerability in sendmail that may allow remote attackers to gain the privileges of the sendmail daemon, typically root. I. Description Researchers at Internet Security Systems (ISS) have discovered a remotely exploitable vulnerability in sendmail. This vulnerability could allow an intruder to gain control of a vulnerable sendmail server. Most organizations have a variety of mail transfer agents (MTAs) at various locations within their network, with at least one exposed to the Internet. Since sendmail is the most popular MTA, most medium-sized to large organizations are likely to have at least one vulnerable sendmail server. In addition, many UNIX and Linux workstations provide a sendmail implementation that is enabled and running by default. This vulnerability is message-oriented as opposed to connection-oriented. That means that the vulnerability is triggered by the contents of a specially-crafted email message rather than by lower-level network traffic. This is important because an MTA that does not contain the vulnerability will pass the malicious message along to other MTAs that may be protected at the network level. In other words, vulnerable sendmail servers on the interior of a network are still at risk, even if the site's border MTA uses software other than sendmail. Also, messages capable of exploiting this vulnerability may pass undetected through many common packet filters or firewalls. Sendmail has indicated to the CERT/CC that this vulnerability has been successfully exploited in a laboratory environment. We do not believe that this exploit is available to the public. However, this vulnerability is likely to draw significant attention from the intruder community, so the probability of a public exploit is high. A successful attack against an unpatched sendmail system will not leave any messages in the system log. However, on a patched system, an attempt to exploit this vulnerability will leave the following log message: Dropped invalid comments from header address Although this does not represent conclusive evidence of an attack, it may be useful as an indicator. A patched sendmail server will drop invalid headers, thus preventing downstream servers from receiving them. The CERT/CC is tracking this issue as VU#398025. This reference number corresponds to CVE candidate CAN-2002-1337. For more information, please see http://www.sendmail.org http://www.sendmail.org/8.12.8.html http://www.sendmail.com/security/ http://www.iss.net/issEn/delivery/xforce/alertdetail.jsp?oid=21950 http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/398025 II. Impact Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow an attacker to gain the privileges of the sendmail daemon, typically root. Even vulnerable sendmail servers on the interior of a given network may be at risk since the vulnerability is triggered from the contents of a malicious email message. III. Solution Apply a patch from Sendmail Sendmail has produced patches for versions 8.9, 8.10, 8.11, and 8.12. However, the vulnerability also exists in earlier versions of the code; therefore, site administrators using an earlier version are encouraged to upgrade to 8.12.8. These patches are located at ftp://ftp.sendmail.org/pub/sendmail/sendmail.8.12.security.cr.patch ftp://ftp.sendmail.org/pub/sendmail/sendmail.8.11.6.security.cr.patch ftp://ftp.sendmail.org/pub/sendmail/sendmail.8.9.3.security.cr.patch Apply a patch from your vendor Many vendors include vulnerable sendmail servers as part of their software distributions.

Over the last few months, SCO has been sending out threatening letters to Linux distributors, claiming that some code from Unix SysV (what Solaris 2.x, AIX, HP-UX, IRIX are based on) has ended up in Linux (Linux is also very SysVish in appearance).
