______________________________________________________________________________
1) problem description, brief discussion, solution, upgrade information
The OpenSSH daemon shipped with SuSE distributions contains various minor
bugs which allows bypassing of IP-access control in some circumstances or
the deletion of files named "cookies" if X11 forwarding is enabled.
It has also been verified that the recent remotely exploitable crc32 bug as
well as the logging-bug has been fixed in our latest ssh packages.
We strongly recommend to update to OpenSSH version 2.9.9p2. Please download
and update the packages as described in section 3. Then invoke
/etc/rc.d/sshd restart
to restart the OpenSSH daemon.
If you are logged on via sshd, then it is adviseable to perform the update
in an atjob to make sure that it can be completed if your secure shell
daemon gets killed:
rpm -Uhv openssh-*.rpm
echo "rcsshd restart" | at now
Please note that OpenSSH 2.9.9p2 is *not*
vulnerable to the crc32/deattack exploit. Some people made wrong statements
about that recently and claimed they have found exploits for this version
"in the wild" which exploits the crc32 hole against this version.
This is wrong and you can safely ignore these discussions.
If you installed the ssh-1.2.27 package instead of the openssh package no
updates should be necessary as long as you recognized the SuSE Security
Announcement SuSE-SA:2001:04 which recommends to update to the latest
ssh-1.2.27 packages.
Due to legal constraints, the packages for the 7.0 and older
distributions containing cryptographic code can be found on http://ftp.suse.de,
not http://ftp.suse.com. The distribution 7.1 and newer have all of their
update packages on http://ftp.suse.com.

3) standard appendix: authenticity verification, additional information
- Package authenticity verification:
SuSE update packages are available on many mirror ftp servers all over
the world. While this service is being considered valuable and important
to the free and open source software community, many users wish to be
sure about the origin of the package and its content before installing
the package. There are two verification methods that can be used
independently from each other to prove the authenticity of a downloaded
file or rpm package:
1) md5sums as provided in the (cryptographically signed) announcement.
2) using the internal gpg signatures of the rpm package.
1) execute the command
md5sum <name-of-the-file.rpm>
after you downloaded the file from a SuSE ftp server or its mirrors.
Then, compare the resulting md5sum with the one that is listed in the
announcement. Since the announcement containing the checksums is
cryptographically signed (usually using the key security@suse.de),
the checksums show proof of the authenticity of the package.
We disrecommend to subscribe to security lists which cause the
email message containing the announcement to be modified so that
the signature does not match after transport through the mailing
list software.
Downsides: You must be able to verify the authenticity of the
announcement in the first place. If RPM packages are being rebuilt
and a new version of a package is published on the ftp server, all
md5 sums for the files are useless.
2) rpm package signatures provide an easy way to verify the authenticity
of an rpm package. Use the command
rpm -v --checksig <file.rpm>
to verify the signature of the package, where <file.rpm> is the
filename of the rpm package that you have downloaded. Of course,
package authenticity verification can only target an uninstalled rpm
package file.
Prerequisites:
a) gpg is installed
b) The package is signed using a certain key. The public part of this
key must be installed by the gpg program in the directory
~/.gnupg/ under the user's home directory who performs the
signature verification (usually root). You can import the key
that is used by SuSE in rpm packages for SuSE Linux by saving
this announcement to a file ("announcement.txt") and
running the command (do "su -" to be root):
gpg --batch; gpg < announcement.txt | gpg --import
SuSE Linux distributions version 7.1 and thereafter install the
key "build@suse.de" upon installation or upgrade, provided that
the package gpg is installed. The file containing the public key
is placed at the toplevel directory of the first CD (pubring.gpg)
and at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/pubring.gpg-build.suse.de .
