CVE-2008-1447

TITLE

Multiple DNS implementations vulnerable to cache poisoning

DESCRIPTION

The DNS protocol, as implemented in (1) BIND 8 and 9 before 9.5.0-P1, 9.4.2-P1, and 9.3.5-P1; (2) Microsoft DNS in Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP2 and SP3, and Server 2003 SP1 and SP2; and other implementations allow remote attackers to spoof DNS traffic via a birthday attack that uses in-bailiwick referrals to conduct cache poisoning against recursive resolvers, related to insufficient randomness of DNS transaction IDs and source ports, aka "DNS Insufficient Socket Entropy Vulnerability" or "the Kaminsky bug.". Deficiencies in the DNS protocol and common DNS implementations facilitate DNS cache poisoning attacks. ISC (Internet Systems Consortiuim) BIND generates cryptographically weak DNS query IDs which could allow a remote attacker to poison DNS caches. In IP NAT filtering in Sun Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris series products, when a DNS server runs NAT, it incorrectly changes the original address of the data packet. When the destination address is a DNS port, it will allow remote attackers to bypass CVE-2008 -1447 security protection. And spoof the address returned by the DNS response. RESOLUTION The resolution is to discontinue the use of BIND/iX and migrate DNS services to another platform. =========================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-627-1 July 22, 2008 dnsmasq vulnerability CVE-2008-1447 =========================================================== A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases: Ubuntu 8.04 LTS This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 net-dns/pdnsd < 1.2.7 >= 1.2.7 Description =========== Two issues have been reported in pdnsd: * The p_exec_query() function in src/dns_query.c does not properly handle many entries in the answer section of a DNS reply, related to a "dangling pointer bug" (CVE-2008-4194). * The default value for query_port_start was set to 0, disabling UDP source port randomization for outgoing queries (CVE-2008-1447). lead to the redirection of web or mail traffic to malicious sites. The first issue can be exploited by enticing pdnsd to send a query to a malicious DNS server, or using the port randomization weakness, and might lead to a Denial of Service. Workaround ========== Port randomization can be enabled by setting the "query_port_start" option to 1024 which would resolve the CVE-2008-1447 issue. Resolution ========== All pdnsd users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-dns/pdnsd-1.2.7" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2008-1447 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-1447 [ 2 ] CVE-2008-4194 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-4194 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200901-03.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.

Setting ActiveX killbit Starting from this release, VMware has set the killbit on its ActiveX controls. Setting the killbit ensures that ActiveX controls cannot run in Internet Explorer (IE), and avoids security issues involving ActiveX controls in IE. See the Microsoft KB article 240797 and the related references on this topic. Security vulnerabilities have been reported for ActiveX controls provided by VMware when run in IE. Under specific circumstances, exploitation of these ActiveX controls might result in denial-of- service or can allow running of arbitrary code when the user browses a malicious Web site or opens a malicious file in IE browser. An attempt to run unsafe ActiveX controls in IE might result in pop-up windows warning the user. Note: IE can be configured to run unsafe ActiveX controls without prompting. VMware recommends that you retain the default settings in IE, which prompts when unsafe actions are requested. Earlier, VMware had issued knowledge base articles, KB 5965318 and KB 9078920 on security issues with ActiveX controls. To avoid malicious scripts that exploit ActiveX controls, do not enable unsafe ActiveX objects in your browser settings. As a best practice, do not browse untrusted Web sites as an administrator and do not click OK or Yes if prompted by IE to allow certain actions. VMware would like to thank Julien Bachmann, Shennan Wang, Shinnai, and Michal Bucko for reporting these issues to us. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the names CVE-2008-3691, CVE-2008-3692, CVE-2008-3693, CVE-2008-3694, CVE-2008-3695, CVE-2007-5438, and CVE-2008-3696 to the security issues with VMware ActiveX controls.

VMware ISAPI Extension Denial of Service The Internet Server Application Programming Interface (ISAPI) is an API that extends the functionality of Internet Information Server (IIS). VMware uses ISAPI extensions in its Server product. One of the ISAPI extensions provided by VMware is vulnerable to a remote denial of service. By sending a malformed request, IIS might shut down. IIS 6.0 restarts automatically. However, IIS 5.0 does not restart automatically when its Startup Type is set to Manual. VMware would like to thank the Juniper Networks J-Security Security Research Team for reporting this issue to us.

VMware Consolidated Backup(VCB) command-line utilities may expose sensitive information VMware Consolidated Backup command-line utilities accept the user password through the -p command-line option. Users logged into the service console could gain access to the username and password used by VCB command-line utilities when such commands are running. This patch resolves this issue by providing an alternative way of passing the password used by VCB command-line utilities. The following options are recommended for passing the password: 1. The password is specified in /etc/backuptools.conf (PASSWORD=xxxxx), and -p is not used in the command line. /etc/backuptools.conf file permissions are read/write only for root. 2. No password is specified in /etc/backuptools.conf and the -p option is not used in the command line. The user will be prompted to enter a password. ESX is not affected unless you use VCB. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2008-2101 to this issue.

Version 9.2.4.-22.el3 addresses the recently discovered vulnerability in the BIND software used for Domain Name resolution (DNS). VMware doesn't install all the BIND packages on ESX Server and is not vulnerable by default to the reported vulnerability. Of the BIND packages, VMware only ships bind-util and bind-lib in the service console and these components by themselves cannot be used to setup a DNS server. Bind-lib and bind-util are used in client DNS applications like nsupdate, nslookup, etc. VMware explicitly discourages installing applications like BIND on the service console. In case the customer has installed BIND, and the DNS server is configured to support recursive queries, their ESX Server system is affected and they should replace BIND with a patched version. Note: ESX Server will use the DNS server on the network it is on, so it is important to patch that DNS server. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2008-1447 to this issue.

Dan Kaminsky identified a practical vector of DNS response spoofing and cache poisoning, exploiting the limited entropy in a DNS transaction ID and lack of UDP source port randomization in many DNS implementations. Scott Kitterman noted that python-dns is vulnerable to this predictability, as it randomizes neither its transaction ID nor its source port. Taken together, this lack of entropy leaves applications using python-dns to perform DNS queries highly susceptible to response forgery. For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in version 2.3.0-5.2+etch1. We recommend that you upgrade your python-dns package.

Security Advisory (08-AUG-2008) (CVE-2008-3280) =============================================== Ben Laurie of Google's Applied Security team, while working with an external researcher, Dr. Richard Clayton of the Computer Laboratory, Cambridge University, found that various OpenID Providers (OPs) had TLS Server Certificates that used weak keys, as a result of the Debian Predictable Random Number Generator (CVE-2008-0166). In combination with the DNS Cache Poisoning issue (CVE-2008-1447) and the fact that almost all SSL/TLS implementations do not consult CRLs (currently an untracked issue), this means that it is impossible to rely on these OPs. Attack Description ------------------ In order to mount an attack against a vulnerable OP, the attacker first finds the private key corresponding to the weak TLS certificate. He then sets up a website masquerading as the original OP, both for the OpenID protocol and also for HTTP/HTTPS. Then he poisons the DNS cache of the victim to make it appear that his server is the true OpenID Provider. There are two cases, one is where the victim is a user trying to identify themselves, in which case, even if they use HTTPS to "ensure" that the site they are visiting is indeed their provider, they will be unable to detect the substitution and will give their login credentials to the attacker. The second case is where the victim is the Relying Party (RP). In this case, even if the RP uses TLS to connect to the OP, as is recommended for higher assurance, he will not be defended, as the vast majority of OpenID implementations do not check CRLs, and will, therefore, accept the malicious site as the true OP. Mitigation ---------- Mitigation is surprisingly hard. In theory the vulnerable site should revoke their weak certificate and issue a new one. However, since the CRLs will almost certainly not be checked, this means the site will still be vulnerable to attack for the lifetime of the certificate (and perhaps beyond, depending on user behaviour). Note that shutting down the site DOES NOT prevent the attack. Therefore mitigation falls to other parties. Browsers must check CRLs by default. OpenID libraries must check CRLs. Until either 1 and 2 or 3 have been done, OpenID cannot be trusted for any OP that cannot demonstrate it has never had a weak certificate. Discussion ---------- Normally, when security problems are encountered with a single piece of software, the responsible thing to do is to is to wait until fixes are available before making any announcement. However, as a number of examples in the past have demonstrated, this approach does not work particularly well when many different pieces of software are involved because it is necessary to coordinate a simultaneous release of the fixes, whilst hoping that the very large number of people involved will cooperate in keeping the vulnerability secret. In the present situation, the fixes will involve considerable development work in adding CRL handling to a great many pieces of openID code. This is a far from trivial amount of work. The fixes will also involve changes to browser preferences to ensure that CRLs are checked by default -- which many vendors have resisted for years. We are extremely pessimistic that a security vulnerability in OpenID will be seen as sufficiently important to change the browser vendors minds. Hence, we see no value in delaying this announcement; and by making the details public as soon as possible, we believe that individuals who rely on OpenID will be better able to take their own individual steps to avoid relying upon the flawed certificates we have identified. OpenID is at heart quite a weak protocol, when used in its most general form[1], and consequently there is very limited reliance upon its security. This means that the consequences of the combination of attacks that are now possible is nothing like as serious as might otherwise have been the case. However, it does give an insight into the type of security disaster that may occur in the future if we do not start to take CRLs seriously, but merely stick them onto "to-do" lists or disable them in the name of tiny performance improvements. Affected Sites -------------- There is no central registry of OpenID systems, and so we cannot be sure that we have identified all of the weak certificates that are currently being served. The list of those we have found so far is: openid.sun.com www.xopenid.net openid.net.nz Notes ----- [1] There are ways of using OpenID that are significantly more secure than the commonly deployed scheme, I shall describe those in a separate article. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
