____________________________________________________________________________
1) problem description, brief discussion, solution, upgrade information
Lukemftp (ftp(1), /usr/bin/ftp, /usr/bin/pftp) is a comportable ftp
client from NetBSD.
A buffer overflow could be triggered by an malicious ftp server while the
client parses the PASV ftp command. An attacker who control an ftp server
to which a client using lukemftp is connected can gain remote access to
the clients machine with the privileges of the user running lukeftp.
The lukemftp RPM package is installed by default.
You need to update the package, as no temporary workaround is possbible.
Please download the update package for your distribution and verify its
integrity by the methods listed in section 3) of this announcement.
Then, install the package using the command "rpm -Fhv file.rpm" to apply
the update.
Our maintenance customers are being notified individually. The packages
are being offered to install from the maintenance web.

2) Pending vulnerabilities in SuSE Distributions and Workarounds:
- imap
A bug report about a buffer overflow in the RFC1730 code of the wu-imap
eMail server was published. SuSE Linux' imap packages were compiled
without RFC1730 support, so SuSE Linux is not vulnerable to this bug per
default.
- dhcp
A format string bug was found in the DynamicDNS (DDNS) code of ISC's
DHCP server software. New RPMs are currently being build.
- imlib
Due to packaging failures we have to re-release the imlib packages
which should be available within the next days. This update addresses
missing dependencies and affects applications like xcdroast.
- perl-Digest-MD5
A bug was found in the UTF8 interaction between perl and perl-Digest-MD5
which leads into failures while verifying the MD5 hash.
New RPMs are currently being build.
____________________________________________________________________________
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 .
