Securing High Speed Networks

Today's corporate network requires intrusion detection solutions that can
reliably handle high throughput. StealthWatch, by Lancope, is the first
optical gigabit appliance that meets the requirements of today's busy data
center. This advanced threat management system monitors, detects and
responds to security breaches and internal misuse. But unlike traditional
intrusion detection systems, StealthWatch recognizes advanced attack
methods such as undocumented, encrypted and DoS attacks without relying on
signatures. Its unique flow-based architecture recognizes attacks at high
speeds (100 Mbps to 1 Gbps) while reducing the false positives commonly
associated with these tools.

To learn more about how StealthWatch can handle your high-speed network,

1. An Introduction to OpenSSL, Part Two: Cryptographic Functions Continued
by Holt Sorenson

This is the second article in a series on OpenSSL, a library written in
the C programming language that provides routines for cryptographic
primitives utilized in implementing the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
protocol. In the first article in the series, we discussed some of the
basics of cryptography. This article will cover acquiring and compiling
OpenSSL and explore some commands that facilitate encryption and
decryption.

2. Chasing the Wind, Episode 10: the Road Less Traveled
by Robert G. Ferrell

This is the tenth installment of SecurityFocus's popular Chasing the Wind
series. In the last episode, we left Jake in the middle of his five-day
hacking seminar and Douglas continuied to forge ahead on the mysterious
Bellatrix Project. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to Douglas or to the United
States department of Defence, the shady figure known only as "Baseball
Cap" was successfully monitoring the Bellatrix project.

5. Virtual Private Networks: A Broken Dream?
by Eric Hines

Virtual Private Networks allow organizations to establish secure links
with business partners and extend communications to regional and isolated
offices. In doing so, they significantly diminish the cost of
communications for an increasingly mobile workforce. While VPNs are
gaining widespread acceptance as security solutions, they are not a
panacea. This article will serve as a brief introduction to VPN
technology. It will also illustrate some vulnerabilities that have been
discovered in VPNs.

II. BUGTRAQ SUMMARY
- -------------------
1. Solaris lpd Remote Command Execution Vulnerability
BugTraq ID: 3274
Remote: Yes
Date Published: 2001-08-31
Relevant URL:
http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/3274
Summary:

The print protocol daemon, 'in.lpd' (or 'lpd'), shipped with Solaris may
allow for remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands on target hosts
with superuser privileges.

This alleged vulnerability is not the buffer overflow discovered by ISS.

Lpd allows for clients to have email sent to a user when a job has
completed printing.  The supplied email address is passed to sendmail at
the command line when it is invoked by lpd.  Attackers may be able to
supply sendmail command-line options as the value of the email address
when using this functionality.  It may be possible to force sendmail to
use an uploaded print job as a configuration file.

To do this, an attacker may have to supply the command-line option to use
a custom configuration file as the email address.  The option must be
argumented with the location of the print job on the filesystem.  If this
can be accomplished, arbitrary commands can be executed on the server as
root.

If this vulnerability is successfully exploited, remote attackers can
execute any command on the target host with superuser privileges.

This vulnerability is likely the same or closely related to one described
in NAI advisory NAI-0020.

NOTE: It has been reported that a valid printer does NOT need to be
configured to exploit this vulnerability.

2. POP3Lite Input Validation Vulnerability
BugTraq ID: 3278
Remote: Yes
Date Published: 2001-09-03
Relevant URL:
http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/3278
Summary:

POP3Lite is a free, open-source compact POP3 daemon for Linux and BSD
systems.

POP3Lite has an input validation problem which may be exploited by remote
attackers. POP3Lite will not escape leading dots('.') from e-mail it
transfers. POP3Lite will send lines with leading dots to the mail client,
causing them to be interpreted as an end-of-message. At the very least
this may cause unusual behavior to occur, but may be manipulated to
malicious effect.

For example, a message may be crafted by the attacker to a victim
receiving mail from POP3Lite which causes the victim's client to accept a
fake end-of-message followed by falsified arbitrary server responses.

Remote attackers may exploit this issue to inject messages or cause
messages to be lost. A potential for mail-spoofing attacks also exists as
message headers can be falsified. A denial of services may also result,
depending on how the client interprets the malicious input.

This issue may also be exploited in combination with input validation
vulnerabilities that exist in mail clients.

3. HP-UX SWVerify Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
BugTraq ID: 3279
Remote: No
Date Published: 2001-09-03
Relevant URL:
http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/3279
Summary:

HP-UX is the UNIX Operating System variant distributed by Hewlett-Packard,
available for use on systems of size varying from workgroup servers to
enterprise systems.

A problem has been discovered in HP-UX that could allow a local user to
gain elevated privileges.  The vulnerability could result in complete
system compromise.

The problem is due to a buffer overflow in swverify.  By supplying a
string of 6039 bytes, a buffer overflow occurs, allowing the user to
overwrite stack variables, including the return address.

As the swverify program is setuid root, this makes it possible for the
local user to gain an elevation of privileges to root.

4. PGP Invalid Key Display Vulnerability
BugTraq ID: 3280
Remote: Yes
Date Published: 2001-09-04
Relevant URL:
http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/3280
Summary:

PGP Security provides privacy and data confidentiality software.

There is a vulnerability in some of PGP's display of key validity which
could allow a user to be tricked into accepting a signature created by an
invalid user ID.

When there are two user ID's on the same key, PGP's display heuristically
communicates key validity to the user.  The first strategy is to base the
validity display on the first user ID in the key.  The second is to base
the validity display on the most valid key.

The key verification window's name field uses the first strategy, while
the validity light on this display uses the second strategy.  Thus, when a
key having an invalid user ID as the primary name and a valid user ID as
the secondary name is displayed, it shows the primary user's name, but the
validity of the secondary name.

If such a key is sent to a user who relies on the affected validity
displays, the key may appear to be valid.  If the key is imported into the
target user's keyring, attackers can forge signatures on documents sent to
the target user as the invalid user-id.

5. Informix SQL Temporary Log File Symbolic Link Vulnerability
BugTraq ID: 3281
Remote: No
Date Published: 2001-09-04
Relevant URL:
http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/3281
Summary:

Informix is an enterprise database software package designed for use on
multiple platforms.  It is distributed and maintained by IBM.

A problem with Informix makes it possible for local users to overwrite
files, resulting in file corruption, and potentially in privilege
elevation.

The problem is due to the creation of predictable temporary files.  When
either the onbar_d, ondblog, or onsmsync programs are executed, files
serving as temporary logs of activity are created in /tmp.  These three
programs are installed with the default permissions of setuid root, and
setgid informix.

The execution of one of these three programs results in the creation of
the files bar_act.log and bar_dbug.log in the /tmp directory.  This
vulnerability may be exploited only if these files do not exist or the
attacker is in the informix group, as they're created with permissions
660, and can not be removed by a user that either isn't root, or in the
group informix.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to a denial of
service, or potentially an elevation of privileges to root, although the
latter is unproven.

6. FreeBSD rmuser Password Hash Disclosure Vulnerability
BugTraq ID: 3282
Remote: No
Date Published: 2001-09-04
Relevant URL:
http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/3282
Summary:

FreeBSD ships with a perl script called 'rmuser'.  It can be used by
administrators to completely remove users from a system.

When rmuser is run, the 'passwd' and 'master.passwd' files must be
updated.  The rmuser script creates copies of these files and then
modifies them.  When complete, the original files are replaced with the
updated copies.

The script explicitly sets an insecure umask and the copy files are
created world readable.  If an attacker can anticipate the use of rmuser
by an administrator, it may be possible to obtain the contents of
'master.passwd'.  If successful, the attacker would obtain the password
hashes of other users on the system.  This information may assist in a
brute-force password attack.

Exploitation of this vulnerability is extremely time dependent, as the
attack must be launched when rmuser is being used and while the
world-readable copy exists (it is deleted by the script after the original
files are overwritten).

Attacks against this utility may be more feasible on systems where
'rmuser' is run automatically at scheduled times (for example, on a server
where an automated script runs that removes ISP users with expired
accounts).

7. Informix SQL ONSRVAPD Predictable Temporary File Creation Vulnerability
BugTraq ID: 3283
Remote: No
Date Published: 2001-09-04
Relevant URL:
http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/3283
Summary:

Informix is an enterprise database distributed and maintained by IBM.

A problem in the Informix SQL package makes it possible for a local user
to overwrite root-owned files, and potentially gain elevated privileges.

The problem is in the onsrvapd program.  Upon execution, the program
creates the predictable files onsrvapd.log (owned and group member
informix), and onsnmp.$HOSTNAME.log (owned by root, group member informix)
in the /tmp directory, where $HOSTNAME is the name of Informix SQL host.
The log files are created with world-writable permissions.

Since the onsrvapd program is setuid root, this makes it possible for a
user to create a symbolic link in place of the onsnmp.$HOSTNAME.log file,
and point the symbolic link to any file, existing or non-existing.

In the case of an existing file, this allows the attacker to overwrite the
file, leaving the file with permissions of 0666.  If the file does not
exist, a file will be created at the end of the symbolic link with
permissions 0666.

This problem could result in a local user denying service to legitimate
users of the system, or potentially gaining local root access.

8. Inter7 vpopmail MySQL Authentication Data Recovery Vulnerability
BugTraq ID: 3284
Remote: No
Date Published: 2001-09-04
Relevant URL:
http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/3284
Summary:

Inter7 vpopmail is a freely-available software package that provides an
way for system administrators to manage virtual email domains and
non-system password based email accounts on Qmail or Postfix mail servers.

A vunerability exists in vpopmail that may result in the disclosure of
sensitive authentication information when the package is configured to use
a MySQL database.  When the package is compiled, account information used
for database authentication is compiled into an object archive and
subsequently linked against the command-line programs included in the
package.  Due to the non-interactive nature of the package, this
information is written in cleartext.

The programs are then installed with world-readable file access
permissions.  As a result, it may be possible for an attacker with local
access to retrieve the authentication information by examining one of the
programs.

9. Marconi ForeThought 7.1 Telnet Administration Denial of Service
Vulnerability BugTraq ID: 3286
Remote: Yes
Date Published: 2001-09-04
Relevant URL:
http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/3286
Summary:

ForeThought is the internetworking software used by most of Marconi's
product line.  The software incorporates remote administration through
telnet and web console interfaces.

The telnet administration interface allows up to two concurrent sessions.
When both sessions are locked, the only way to release the sessions is to
reboot the device.  Until the device is rebooted, access to the telnet
interface is not possible.

It has been reported that some port scans may unintentionally trigger this
condition.

10. Informix SQL SNMPDM Predictable Temporary File Creation Vulnerability
BugTraq ID: 3287
Remote: No
Date Published: 2001-09-04
Relevant URL:
http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/3287
Summary:

Informix is an enterprise level database maintained and distributed by
IBM.

A problem with the Informix SQL database add-on package makes it possible
for a local user to exploit a symbolic link problem.  This problem is in
the snmpdm package.

Upon execution of the setuid root application snmpdm, a file is created in
the /tmp directory using filename snmpd.log.  This file is created with
world-writable permissions.

Since the snmpdm program is setuid root, this makes it possible for a user
to create a symbolic link in place of the snmpd.log file, and point the
symbolic link to any file, existing or non-existing.

In the case of an existing file, this allows the attacker to overwrite the
file, leaving the file with permissions of 0666.  If the file does not
exist, a file will be created at the end of the symbolic link with
permissions 0666.

This problem could result in a local user denying service to legitimate
users of the system, or potentially gaining local root access.

11. Vibechild Directory Manager Command Execution Vulnerability
BugTraq ID: 3288
Remote: Yes
Date Published: 2001-09-04
Relevant URL:
http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/3288
Summary:

Directory Manager is an application used to maintain LDAP directory data.
It is maintained by Vibechild and hosted for download on Sourceforge.net.

An input validation error exists in Directory Manager that may enable
remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on a host running the software.
The flaw is due to a script in the package that fails to filter shell
metacharacters from a user-supplied value passed to PHP's passthru()
function.

Successful exploitation of this issue is achievable by submitting shell
metacharacters followed by a command in the 'userfile_name' field of a
HTTP request.

Exploitation of this vulnerability may lead to the disclosure of sensitive
data on or compromise of a vulnerable host.

12. HP-UX login btmp Logging Failure Vulnerability
BugTraq ID: 3289
Remote: Yes
Date Published: 2001-09-03
Relevant URL:
http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/3289
Summary:

The version of 'login' shipped with HP-UX 10.26 does not record
unsuccessful login attempts in 'btmp'.  The btmp file is used to record
bad logins.

It may be possible for attackers to launch a brute force attack that is
not noticed by administrators who rely on btmp.  As unsuccessful logins
would not be recorded in the file, administrators using 'lastb' to view
recent bad login attempts would not notice the attacker's attempts.

The attempts may still be visible in other logs (such as syslog).

Platforms: PalmOS
Summary:

SMS spoof is a PalmOS application that allows you to send spoofed SMS
messages. It uses a dialup connection to an EMI/UCP-compatible SMSC. It
can be used with a modem connected to the Palm, such as an IR link to a
GSM phone with a built-in modem. SMS spoof has been tested with Telenor's
SMSC in Norway, but it should work with any SMSC that supports the EMI/UCP
protocol, as long as no authentication is required.

4. Typhon
by Next Generation Security Software Ltd
Relevant URL:
http://www.securityfocus.com/tools/2195
Platforms: Windows 2000 and Windows NT
Summary:

Typhon, an updated version of Cerberus Internet Scanner, is a
vulnerability assessment tool. It will scan a given host for known
security holes and vulnerabilities. It does this by looking at the
services offered by a host and each of these are examined for holes. For
example, Typhon will check for over 180 known vulnerabilities in the web
service or daemon offered by a server. Once a scan has been completed a
report in HTML is produced detailing what security holes were found, the
impact of those holes and how to fix them. Once these holes have been
removed then the host will be more secure against attacks. As new
vulnerabilities are discovered almost on a daily basis it is necessary to
ensure that the Typhon is kept upto date and hosts are scanned on a
regular basis.

Securing High Speed Networks

Today's corporate network requires intrusion detection solutions that can
reliably handle high throughput. StealthWatch, by Lancope, is the first
optical gigabit appliance that meets the requirements of today's busy data
center. This advanced threat management system monitors, detects and
responds to security breaches and internal misuse. But unlike traditional
intrusion detection systems, StealthWatch recognizes advanced attack
methods such as undocumented, encrypted and DoS attacks without relying on
signatures. Its unique flow-based architecture recognizes attacks at high
speeds (100 Mbps to 1 Gbps) while reducing the false positives commonly
associated with these tools.

To learn more about how StealthWatch can handle your high-speed network,
sign up to receive a Brief entitled "Securing High Speed Networks" at:
