Synopsis ========

A race condition might lead to theft of user credentials or information disclosure in services using nss_ldap.

Background ==========

nss_ldap is a Name Service Switch module which allows 'passwd', 'group' and 'host' database information to be pulled from LDAP.

Affected packages =================


Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected


1 sys-auth/nss_ldap < 258 >= 258

Description ===========

Josh Burley reported that nss_ldap does not properly handle the LDAP connections due to a race condition that can be triggered by multi-threaded applications using nss_ldap, which might lead to requested data being returned to a wrong process.

Impact ======

Remote attackers could exploit this race condition by sending queries to a vulnerable server using nss_ldap, possibly leading to theft of user credentials or information disclosure (e.g. Dovecot returning wrong mailbox contents).

Workaround ==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution ==========

All nss_ldap users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-auth/nss_ldap-258"

#21 fixed upgrade out of Rails vulnerabilities mitchb price
Description

We have 1.2.3 and some older Rails installed, and 1.2.3 is vulnerable. 1.2.5 is fixed. Some users may be using 1.2.3 (we also have 2.something), so we should get them upgraded.

Hopefully this just means installing 1.2.5 and deleting 1.2.3; if these were, eg, Python versions, that'd be true. We don't know enough about Rails to know if it'll be that easy, or require changes to users' scripts.

Synopsis
========

Several vulnerabilities were found in Ruby on Rails allowing for file
disclosure and theft of user credentials.

Background
==========

Ruby on Rails is a free web framework used to develop database-driven
web applications.

Affected packages
=================

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 dev-ruby/rails < 1.2.5 >= 1.2.5

Description
===========

candlerb found that ActiveResource, when processing responses using the
Hash.from_xml() function, does not properly sanitize filenames
(CVE-2007-5380). The session management functionality allowed the
"session_id" to be set in the URL (CVE-2007-5380). BCC discovered that
the to_json() function does not properly sanitize input before
returning it to the user (CVE-2007-3227).

Impact
======

Unauthenticated remote attackers could exploit these vulnerabilities to
determine the existence of files or to read the contents of arbitrary
XML files; conduct session fixation attacks and gain unauthorized
access; and to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's
browser session in context of an affected site by enticing a user to
browse a specially crafted URL.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All Ruby on Rails users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-ruby/rails-1.2.5"

#149 fixed use GSSAPI for LDAP-to-LDAP auth instead of SSL certs geofft
Description

LDAP replication authenticates over SSL certs. The problem with SSL certs is that they expire (also we have our own one-off CA for signing these certs). It would be great if we could use this nifty Kerberos thing for authenticating our LDAP servers to each other.

Last time we had an outage due to an expired cert, I got really really close to making GSSAPI authentication work, but it turns out that you can't modify an existing LDAPS replication agreement to turn into an LDAP-with-GSSAPI one, so you need to remove the replication agreement and create a new one, and for various complicated reasons I think the only way that we're really comfortable doing them is tearing down _all_ of the replication agreements at once, making GSSAPI work, and re-configuring replication anew with GSSAPI. This is a bit annoying.

We should first test that it will actually work, by setting up LDAP on two or three VMs and trying GSSAPI auth (with, like, ZONE realm principals).

Once we're comfortable with doing so, we should do this at a time (like, oh, early on a Sunday morning) when we can temporarily turn off account registrations and Pony so we don't have to deal with things needing to be replicated while we're breaking and recreating replication.

See the scripts-team thread "Re: failed scripts account setup" and zlogs of -c scripts -i ldap from May 2, 2010 for more background.

Note: See TracQuery for help on using queries.
