SuSE Security Announcement
Package: squid
Announcement-ID: SuSE-SA:2001:037
Date: Tuesday, Oct 30th 2001 12:30 MEST
Affected SuSE versions: 6.3, 6.4, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3
Vulnerability Type: remote denial of service
Severity (1-10): 4
SuSE default package: no
Other affected systems: Systems running the squid proxy server
Content of this advisory:
1) security vulnerability resolved: squid
problem description, discussion, solution and upgrade information
2) pending vulnerabilities, solutions, workarounds
3) standard appendix (further information)
______________________________________________________________________________
1) problem description, brief discussion, solution, upgrade information
The squid proxy server can be crashed with a malformed request, resulting
in a denial of service attack. After the crash, the squid proxy must be
restarted. The weakness can only be triggered from an address that
is allowed to send requests, as configured in the squid configuration
file.
An upgrade to a fixed version of the squid package is the only reasonable
countermeasure against the bug. Please download the package for your
distribution, verify its integrity according to section 3) of this
SuSE Security announcement, then apply the update using the command
rpm -Uhv <package.rpm>
where <package.rpm> is the filename of the package that you
downloaded.
NOTE:
SuSE Linux distributions come with two different squid packages: One
development package and one stable package. The respective package
for your installation can be found using the command
rpm -qa|grep squid
Please download and update only the package that is installed on your
system as determined by the version of the package installed.
Both packages for your distribution are listed below.
SPECIAL INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:
The squid proxy has to be restarted in order for the fix to become
effective. Use the command
rcsquid restart
after successful installation of the upgrade to do this. Please note
that the start of the squid daemon can use several seconds so that
the daemon refuses to accept connections during that time.

2) Pending vulnerabilities in SuSE Distributions and Workarounds:
- openssh
After stabilizing the openssh package, updates for the distributions
6.4-7.2 are currently being prepared. The update packages fix a security
problem related to the recently discovered problems with source ip
based access restrictions in a user's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 file.
The packages will appear shortly on our ftp servers. Please note that
packages for the distributions 6.3 and up including 7.0 containing
cryptographic software are located on the German ftp server ftp.suse.de,
all other packages can be found on ftp.suse.com at the usual location.
We will issue a dedicated Security announcement for the openssh package.
______________________________________________________________________________
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 .
