1. df Buffer Overrun Vulnerability

===========================================================================
AA-97.19                        AUSCERT Advisory
                    SGI IRIX df Buffer Overrun Vulnerability
                                 26 May 1997

Last Revised:   --

- - - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

AUSCERT has received information that a vulnerability exists in df(1),
distributed under IRIX 5.3, 6.2 and 6.3.  Other versions may also be
vulnerable.

This vulnerability may allow local users to gain root privileges.

Exploit information involving this vulnerability has been made publicly
available.

At this stage, AUSCERT is unaware of any official vendor patches.  AUSCERT
recommends that sites apply the workaround given in Section 3 until vendor
patches are made available.

This advisory will be updated as more information becomes available.

- - - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.  Description

    df(1) is a program used to display statistics about the amount of used
    and free disc space on file systems.

    Due to insufficient bounds checking on arguments which are supplied
    by users, it is possible to overwrite the internal stack space of the
    df program while it is executing.  By supplying a carefully designed
    argument to the df program, intruders may be able to force df to
    execute arbitrary commands.  As df is setuid root, this may allow
    intruders to run arbitrary commands with root privileges.

    Sites can determine if this program is installed by using:

        % ls -l /sbin/df

    df is installed by default in /sbin.  Sites are encouraged to check
    for the presence of this program regardless of the version of IRIX
    installed.

    Exploit information involving this vulnerability has been made publicly
    available.

2.  Impact

    Local users may gain root privileges.

3.  Workarounds/Solution

    AUSCERT recommends that sites prevent the exploitation of this
    vulnerability in df by immediately applying the workaround given in
    Section 3.1.

    If the df functionality is required by non-root users, AUSCERT recommends
    applying the workaround given in Section 3.2.

    Currently there are no vendor patches available that address this
    vulnerability.  AUSCERT recommends that official vendor patches be
    installed when they are made available.

3.1 Remove setuid and non-root execute permissions

    To prevent the exploitation of the vulnerability described in this
    advisory, AUSCERT recommends that the setuid permissions be removed
    from the df program immediately.  As df will no longer work for non-root
    users, it is recommended that the execute permissions for them also
    be removed.

        # ls -l /sbin/df
        -r-sr-xr-x   1 root   sys     23136 Nov 22  1994 /sbin/df

        # chmod 500 /sbin/df
        # ls -l /sbin/df
        -r-x------   1 root   sys     23136 Nov 22  1994 /sbin/df

3.2 Install df wrapper

    AUSCERT has developed a wrapper to help prevent programs from being
    exploited using the vulnerability described in this advisory.  Sites
    which have a C compiler can obtain the source, compile and install
    the wrapper as described in Section 3.2.1.  For sites without a C
    compiler, AUSCERT has made pre-compiled binaries available
    (Section 3.1.2).

3.2.1 Installing the wrapper from source

    The source for the wrapper, including installation instructions, can
    be found at:

        ftp://ftp.auscert.org.au/pub/auscert/tools/overflow_wrapper/
                                               overflow_wrapper.c

    This wrapper replaces the df program and checks the length of the
    command line arguments which are passed to it.  If an argument exceeds
    a certain predefined value (MAXARGLEN), the wrapper exits without
    executing the df command.  The wrapper program can also be configured
    to syslog any failed attempts to execute df with arguments exceeding
    MAXARGLEN.  For further instructions on using this wrapper, please
    read the comments at the top of overflow_wrapper.c.

    When compiling overflow_wrapper.c for use with df, AUSCERT recommends
    defining MAXARGLEN to be 32.

    The MD5 checksum for the current version of overflow_wrapper.c can be
    retrieved from:

        ftp://ftp.auscert.org.au/pub/auscert/tools/overflow_wrapper/CHECKSUM

    The CHECKSUM file has been digitally signed using the AUSCERT PGP key.

3.2.2 Installing the wrapper binaries

    Pre-compiled wrapper binary is provided for sites that wish to install
    the wrapper but do not have a C compiler available.  AUSCERT has
    compiled the wrapper on IRIX 5.3, however later versions of IRIX should
    be able to use the wrapper binary without recompilation.  The following
    compile time options have been used to create the binaries:

        REAL_PROG='"/sbin/df.real"'
        MAXARGLEN=32
        SYSLOG

    More information on these options can be found in Section 3.1.1 and
    in the overflow_wrapper.c source code.

    The pre-compiled binaries for the wrapper program can be retrieved from:

        ftp://ftp.auscert.org.au/pub/auscert/tools/AA-97.19-df_wrapper.tar.Z

    The MD5 checksum for AA-97.19-df_wrapper.tar.Z is:

        MD5 (AA-97.19-df_wrapper.tar.Z) = 9d21e6358129cccbe3768757a5361f56

    AA-97.19-df_wrapper.tar.Z contains a README file with installation
    instructions, as well as a pre-compiled binary.

    Sites are encouraged to carefully read the installation notes in the
    README file before installation.

2. pset Buffer Overrun Vulnerability

===========================================================================
AA-97.20                        AUSCERT Advisory
                   SGI IRIX pset Buffer Overrun Vulnerability
                                 27 May 1997

Last Revised:   --

- - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AUSCERT has received information that a vulnerability exists in pset(1M),
distributed under IRIX 5.3 and 6.2.  Other versions may also be
vulnerable.

This vulnerability may allow local users to gain the privileges of group
sys.  These privileges may then be leveraged to gain root privileges.

Exploit information involving this vulnerability has been made publicly
available.

At this stage, AUSCERT is unaware of any official vendor patches.  AUSCERT
recommends that sites apply the workaround given in Section 3 until vendor
patches are made available.

This advisory will be updated as more information becomes available.

- - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.  Description

    pset(1M) is a program used to display and modify information concerning
    the use of processor sets in the current system.  The pset command is
    used on multi-processor systems to restrict the execution of different
    classes of jobs.

    Due to insufficient bounds checking on arguments which are supplied
    by users, it is possible to overwrite the internal stack space of the
    pset program while it is executing.  By supplying a carefully designed
    argument to the pset program, intruders may be able to force pset to
    execute arbitrary commands.  As pset is setgid sys, this may allow
    intruders to run arbitrary commands with the privileges of group sys.
    This may then be leveraged to gain root privileges.

    Sites can determine if this program is installed by using:

        % ls -l /sbin/pset

    pset is installed by default in /sbin.  Sites are encouraged to check
    for the presence of this program regardless of the version of IRIX
    installed.

    Exploit information involving this vulnerability has been made publicly
    available.

2.  Impact

    This vulnerability may allow local users to gain the privileges of group
    sys.  These privileges may then be leveraged to gain root privileges.

3.  Workarounds/Solution

    AUSCERT recommends that sites prevent the exploitation of this
    vulnerability in pset by immediately applying the workaround given in
    Section 3.1.

    If the pset functionality is required by non-root users, AUSCERT
    recommends applying the workaround given in Section 3.2.

    Currently there are no vendor patches available that address this
    vulnerability.  AUSCERT recommends that official vendor patches be
    installed when they are made available.

3.1 Remove setgid and non-root execute permissions

    To prevent the exploitation of the vulnerability described in this
    advisory, AUSCERT recommends that the setgid permissions be removed
    from the pset program immediately.  As pset will no longer work for
    non-root users, it is recommended that the execute permissions for
    them also be removed.

        # ls -l /sbin/pset
        -rwsr-sr-x   1 root   sys     31704 Nov 22  1994 /sbin/pset

        # chmod 500 /sbin/pset
        # ls -l /sbin/pset
        -r-x------   1 root   sys     31704 Nov 22  1994 /sbin/pset

3.2 Install pset wrapper

    AUSCERT has developed a wrapper to help prevent programs from being
    exploited using the vulnerability described in this advisory.  Sites
    which have a C compiler can obtain the source, compile and install
    the wrapper as described in Section 3.2.1.  For sites without a C
    compiler, AUSCERT has made pre-compiled binaries available
    (Section 3.2.2).

3.2.1 Installing the wrapper from source

    The source for the wrapper, including installation instructions, can
    be found at:

        ftp://ftp.auscert.org.au/pub/auscert/tools/overflow_wrapper/
                                               overflow_wrapper.c

    This wrapper replaces the pset program and checks the length of the
    command line arguments which are passed to it.  If an argument exceeds
    a certain predefined value (MAXARGLEN), the wrapper exits without
    executing the pset command.  The wrapper program can also be configured
    to syslog any failed attempts to execute pset with arguments exceeding
    MAXARGLEN.  For further instructions on using this wrapper, please
    read the comments at the top of overflow_wrapper.c.

    When compiling overflow_wrapper.c for use with pset, AUSCERT recommends
    defining MAXARGLEN to be 32.

    The MD5 checksum for the current version of overflow_wrapper.c can be
    retrieved from:

        ftp://ftp.auscert.org.au/pub/auscert/tools/overflow_wrapper/CHECKSUM

    The CHECKSUM file has been digitally signed using the AUSCERT PGP key.

3.2.2 Installing the wrapper binaries

    Pre-compiled wrapper binary is provided for sites that wish to install
    the wrapper but do not have a C compiler available.  AUSCERT has
    compiled the wrapper on IRIX 5.3, however later versions of IRIX should
    be able to use the wrapper binary without recompilation.  The following
    compile time options have been used to create the binaries:

        REAL_PROG='"/sbin/pset.real"'
        MAXARGLEN=32
        SYSLOG

    More information on these options can be found in Section 3.2.1 and
    in the overflow_wrapper.c source code.

    The pre-compiled binaries for the wrapper program can be retrieved from:

        ftp://ftp.auscert.org.au/pub/auscert/tools/AA-97.20-pset_wrapper.tar.Z

    The MD5 checksum for AA-97.20-pset_wrapper.tar.Z is:

        MD5 (AA-97.20-pset_wrapper.tar.Z) = 875367aec70936fc5f4531b0ba8ebc03

    AA-97.20-pset_wrapper.tar.Z contains a README file with installation
    instructions, as well as a pre-compiled binary.

    Sites are encouraged to carefully read the installation notes in the
    README file before installation.

4.  Additional measures

    Most Unix systems ship with numerous programs which have setuid or
    setgid privileges.  Often the functionality supplied by these privileged
    programs is not required by many sites.  The large number of privileged
    programs that are shipped by default are to cater for all possible
    uses of the system.

    AUSCERT encourages sites to examine all the setuid/setgid programs
    and determine the necessity of each program.  If a program does not
    absolutely require the setuid/setgid privileges to operate (for example,
    it is only run by the root user),  the setuid/setgid privileges should
    be removed.  Furthermore, if a program is not required at your site,
    then all execute permissions should be removed.

    A sample command to find all setuid/setgid programs is (run as root):

       # find / \( -perm -4000 -o -perm -2000 \) -type f -exec ls -l {} \;

    It is AUSCERT's experience that many vulnerabilities are being discovered
    in setuid/setgid programs which are not necessary for the correct
    operation of most systems.  Sites can increase their security by
    removing unnecessary setuid/setgid programs.

    For example, the functionality provided by the pset program is not
    needed by many sites.  If sites had previously disabled this program,
    they would not have been susceptible to this latest vulnerability.

3. eject Buffer Overrun Vulnerability

===========================================================================
AA-97.21                        AUSCERT Advisory
                   SGI IRIX eject Buffer Overrun Vulnerability
                                 27 May 1997

Last Revised:   --

- - - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

AUSCERT has received information that a vulnerability exists in eject(1),
distributed under IRIX 6.2.  Other versions may also be vulnerable.

This vulnerability may allow local users to gain root privileges.

Exploit information involving this vulnerability has been made publicly
available.

At this stage, AUSCERT is unaware of any official vendor patches.  AUSCERT
recommends that sites apply the workaround given in Section 3 until vendor
patches are made available.

This advisory will be updated as more information becomes available.

- - - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.  Description

    eject(1) is a program used to eject a removable media device, such as
    floppy, CDROM, or tape. If the floppy or CDROM is mounted, eject will
    first try to unmount it.

    Due to insufficient bounds checking on arguments which are supplied
    by users, it is possible to overwrite the internal stack space of the
    eject program while it is executing.  By supplying a carefully designed
    argument to the eject program, intruders may be able to force eject
    to execute arbitrary commands.  As eject is setuid root, this may
    allow intruders to run arbitrary commands with root privileges.

    Sites can determine if this program is installed by using:

        % ls -l /usr/sbin/eject

    eject is installed by default in /usr/sbin.  Sites are encouraged to
    check for the presence of this program regardless of the version of
    IRIX installed.

    Exploit information involving this vulnerability has been made publicly
    available.

2.  Impact

    Local users may gain root privileges.

3.  Workarounds/Solution

    AUSCERT recommends that sites prevent the exploitation of this
    vulnerability in eject by immediately applying the workaround given
    in Section 3.1.

    If the eject functionality is required by non-root users, AUSCERT
    recommends applying the workaround given in Section 3.2.

    Currently there are no vendor patches available that address this
    vulnerability.  AUSCERT recommends that official vendor patches be
    installed when they are made available.

3.1 Remove setuid and non-root execute permissions

    To prevent the exploitation of the vulnerability described in this
    advisory, AUSCERT recommends that the setuid permissions be removed
    from the eject program immediately.  As eject will no longer have its
    full functionality for non-root users, it is recommended that the
    execute permissions be also removed for these users.

        # ls -l /usr/sbin/eject
        -rwsr-xr-x   1 root    sys    45892 Nov 28 15:09 /usr/sbin/eject

        # chmod 500 /usr/sbin/eject
        # ls -l /usr/sbin/eject
        -r-x------   1 root    sys    45892 Nov 28 15:09 /usr/sbin/eject

    The pre-compiled binaries for the wrapper program can be retrieved from:

        ftp://ftp.auscert.org.au/pub/auscert/tools/AA-97.21-eject_wrapper.tar.Z

    The MD5 checksum for AA-97.21-eject_wrapper.tar.Z is:

        MD5 (AA-97.21-eject_wrapper.tar.Z) = 276bf0f51c89e54d4c584a9e8dd9265d

    AA-97.21-eject_wrapper.tar.Z contains a README file with installation
    instructions, as well as a pre-compiled binary.

    Sites are encouraged to carefully read the installation notes in the

    removing unnecessary setuid/setgid programs.

    For example, if sites had previously removed the setuid permissions
    for the eject program, they would not have been susceptible to this
    latest vulnerability.
