Impact: A race condition that can permit an authenticated remote attacker to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.

Description: If the FTP service has been enabled, and a remote attacker can correctly authenticate, then a race condition would permit them to stop the FTP service or execute arbitrary code. The fix is to replace the lukemftpd FTP service with tnftpd. lukemftp is installed but not activated in Mac OS X Server, which instead uses xftp. Credit to Luke Mewburn of the NetBSD Foundation for informing us of this issue.

Component: OpenLDAP

CVE-ID: CAN-2004-0823

Available for: Mac OS X 10.3.4, Mac OS X 10.3.5, Mac OS X Server 10.3.4, Mac OS X Server 10.3.5

Impact: A crypt password can be used as if it were a plain text password.

Description: Backwards compatibility with older LDAP implementations permits the storing of a crypt password in the userPassword attribute. Some authentication validation schemes can use this value as if it were a plain text password. The fix removes the ambiguity and always uses this type of field as a crypt password. This issue does not occur in Mac OS X 10.2.8. Credit to Steve Revilak of Kayak Software Corporation for reporting this issue.

Safari:

CVE-IDs: CAN-2004-0743

Impact: In a special situation, navigation using the forward/backward buttons can re-send form data to a GET url.

Description: This is for a situation where a web form is sent to a server using a POST method which issues an HTTP redirect to a GET method url. Using the forward/backward buttons will cause Safari to re-POST the form data to the GET url. Safari has been modified so that in this situation forward/backward navigation will result in only a GET method. Credit to Rick Osterberg of Harvard University FAS Computer Services for reporting this issue.

TCP/IP Networking:

CVE-IDs: CAN-2004-0744

Impact: Maliciously crafted IP fragments can use too many system resources preventing normal network operation.

Mac OS X 10.3 Panther

• Finder: Fixes CAN-2003-0876 where folder permissions may not be preserved when copying a folder from a mounted volume such as a diskimage. Credit to Dave G. from @stake, Inc. for finding this issue.

• Kernel: Fixes CAN-2003-0877 where if a system is running with core files enabled, a user with interactive shell access can overwrite arbitrary files, and read core files created by root-owned processes. This may result in sensitive information such as authentication credentials being compromised. Core file creation is disabled by default on Mac OS X. Credit to Dave G.from @stake, Inc. for finding this issue.

• slpd: Fixes CAN-2003-0878 when Personal File Sharing is enabled, the slpd daemon may create a root-owned file in the /tmp directory. This could overwrite an existing file and allow a user to gain elevated privileges. Personal File Sharing is off by default in Mac OS X. Creditto Dave G. from @stake, Inc. for finding this issue.

• Kernel: Fixes CAN-2003-0895 where it may be possible for a local user to cause the Mac OS X kernel to crash by specifying a long command line argument. The machine will reboot on its own after several minutes. Credit to Dave G. from @stake, Inc. for finding this issue.

• ktrace: Fixes CVE-2002-0701 a theoretical exploit when ktrace is enabled through the KTRACE kernel option, a local user might be able to obtain sensitive information. No specific utility is currently known to be vulnerable to this particular problem.

• nfs: Fixes CVE-2002-0830 for the Network File System where a remote user may be able to send RPC messages that cause the system to lock up.

• zlib: Addresses CAN-2003-0107. While there were no functions in Mac OSX that used the vulnerable gzprintf() function, the underlying issue inzlib has been fixed.

• gm4: Fixes CAN-2001-1411 a format string vulnerability in the gm4 utility. No set uid root programs relied on gm4 and this fix is a preventive measure against a possible future exploit.

• OpenSSH: Fixes CAN-2003-0386 where "from=" and "user@hosts" restrictions are potentially spoofable via reverse DNS for numerically specified IP addresses. Mac OS X 10.3 also incorporates prior fixes released for OpenSSH, and the version of OpenSSH as obtained via the "ssh -V" command is: OpenSSH_3.6.1p1+CAN-2003-0693, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090702f

• nidump: Fixes CAN-2001-1412 where the nidump utility provides access to the crypted passwords used to authenticate logins.

• System Preferences: Fixes CAN-2003-0883 where after authenticating with an administrator password, the system will continue to allow access to secure Preference Panes for a short period of time. This could allow a local user to access Preference Panes that they would not normally be able to use. In Mac OS X 10.3 Security preferences, there is now a choice to "Require password to unlock each secure system preference." Credit to Anthony Holder for reporting this issue.

• TCP timestamp: Fixes CAN-2003-0882 where the TCP timestamp is initialized with a constant number. This could allow a person to discover how long the system has been up based upon the ID in TCP packets. In Mac OS X 10.3, the TCP timestamp is now initialized with a random number. Credit to Aaron Linville for reporting this issue and submitting a fix via the Darwin open source program.

• Mail: Fixes CAN-2003-0881 in the Mac OS X Mail application, if an account is configured to use MD5 Challenge Response, it will attempt to login using CRAM-MD5 but will silently fall back to plain-text if the hashed login fails. Credit to Chris Adams for reporting this issue.

• Dock: Fixes CAN-2003-0880 when Full Keyboard Access is turned on via the Keyboard pane in System Preferences, Dock functions can be accessed blindly from behind Screen Effects.

Mac OS X 10.2.8

• OpenSSL: Fixes CAN-2003-0543, CAN-2003-0544, CAN-2003-0545 to address potential issues in certain ASN.1 structures and in certificate verification code.

Thus, the OpenSSL version in Mac OS X 10.2.8, as obtained via the "openssl version" command, is: OpenSSL 0.9.6i Feb 19 2003

• OpenSSH: Addresses CAN-2003-0693, CAN-2003-0695, and CAN-2003-0682 to fix buffer management errors in OpenSSH's sshd versions prior to 3.7.1. To deliver the update in a rapid and reliable manner, only the patches for CVE IDs listed above were applied, and not the entire set of patches for OpenSSH 3.7.1. Thus, the OpenSSH version in Mac OS X 10.2.8, as obtained via the "ssh -V" command, is: OpenSSH_3.4p1+CAN-2003-0693, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090609f

• sendmail: Addresses CAN-2003-0694 and CAN-2003-0681 to fix a buffer overflow in address parsing, as well as a potential buffer overflow in ruleset parsing.

• fb_realpath(): Fixes CAN-2003-0466 which is an off-by-one error in the fb_realpath() function that may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code.

• arplookup(): Fixes CAN-2003-0804. The arplookup() function caches ARP requests for routes on a local link. On a local subnet only, it is possible for an attacker to send a sufficient number of spoofed ARP requests which will exhaust kernel memory, leading to a denial of service.
