openSUSE: 2011:035 moderate: glibc password hashing issue

Affected passwords are potentially faster to crack via brute force methods (CVE-2011-2483). SUSE's crypt() implementation supports the blowfish password hashing function (id $2a) and system logins by default also use this method. This update eliminates the bug in the $2a implementation. After installing the update existing $2a hashes therefore no longer match hashes generated with the new, correct implementation if the password contains 8bit characters. For system logins via PAM the pam_unix2 module activates a compat mode and keeps processing existing $2a hashes with the old algorithm. This ensures no user gets locked out. New password hashes are created with the id "$2y" to unambiguously identify them as generated with the correct implementation. Services that do not use PAM but do use crypt() to store passwords using the blowfish hash do not have such a compat mode. That means users with 8bit passwords that use such services will not be able to log in anymore after the update. As workaround administrators may edit the service's password database and change stored hashes from $2a to $2x. This will result in crypt() using the old algorithm. Users should be required to change their passwords to make sure they are migrated to the correct algorithm. FAQ: Q: I only use ASCII characters in passwords, am I a affected in any way? A: No. Q: What's the meaning of the ids before and after the update? A: Before the update: $2a -> buggy algorithm After the update: $2x -> buggy algorithm $2a -> correct algorithm $2y -> correct algorithm System logins using PAM have a compat mode enabled by default: $2x -> buggy algorithm $2a -> buggy algorithm $2y -> correct algorithm Q: How do I require users to change their password on next login? A: Run the following command as root for each user: chage -d 0 Q: I run an application that has $2a hashes in it's password database. Some users complain that they can not log in anymore. A: Edit the password database and change the "$2a" prefix of the affected users' hashes to "$2x". They will be able to log in again but should change their password ASAP. Q: How do I turn off the compat mode for system logins? A: Set BLOWFISH_2a2x=no in /etc/default/passwd 2) Solution or Work-Around There is no known workaround, please install the update packages. 3) Special Instructions and Notes To actually migrate hashes to the new algorithm all users with 8bit characters in passwords must change passwords after the update. 4) Package Location and Checksums The preferred method for installing security updates is to use the YaST "Online Update" module or the "zypper" commandline tool. The package and patch management stack will detect which updates are required and automatically perform the necessary steps to verify and install them. Alternatively, download the update packages for your distribution manually and verify their integrity by the methods listed in Section 6 of this announcement. Then install the packages using the command rpm -Fhv to apply the update, replacing with the filename of the downloaded RPM package. x86 Platform: openSUSE 11.4:

Red Hat: RHSA-2010:0819-01 Moderate: Pam Security Update

Updated pam packages that fix three security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores,. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ==================================================================== Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Moderate: pam security update Advisory ID: RHSA-2010:0819-01 Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advisory URL: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2010:0819.html Issue date: 2010-11-01 CVE Names: CVE-2010-3316 CVE-2010-3435 CVE-2010-3853 ==================================================================== 1. Summary: Updated pam packages that fix three security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: RHEL Desktop Workstation (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) - i386, ia64, ppc, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64 3. Description: Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) provide a system whereby administrators can set up authentication policies without having to recompile programs that handle authentication. It was discovered that the pam_namespace module executed the external script namespace.init with an unchanged environment inherited from an application calling PAM. In cases where such an environment was untrusted (for example, when pam_namespace was configured for setuid applications such as su or sudo), a local, unprivileged user could possibly use this flaw to escalate their privileges. (CVE-2010-3853) It was discovered that the pam_mail module usedroot privileges while accessing users' files. In certain configurations, a local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to obtain limited information about files or directories that they do not have access to. (CVE-2010-3435) It was discovered that the pam_xauth module did not verify the return values of the setuid() and setgid() system calls. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to execute the xauth command with root privileges and make it read an arbitrary input file. (CVE-2010-3316) Red Hat would like to thank Sebastian Krahmer of the SuSE Security Team for reporting the CVE-2010-3435 issue. All pam users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues. 4.
