This file lists all changes made between Owl 2.0 and its corresponding
stable branch. Please note that the release itself remains fixed; it's
only the stable branch which has these changes.
The dates shown in braces indicate when an equivalent change went into
Owl-current, where applicable.
Security fixes have a "Severity" specified for the issue(s) being fixed.
The three comma-separated metrics given after "Severity:" are: risk
impact (low, medium, or high), attack vector (local, remote, or
indirect), and whether the attack may be carried out at will (active) or
not (passive). Please note that the specified risk impact is just that,
it is not the overall severity, so other metrics are not factored into
it. For example, a "high" impact "local, passive" issue is generally of
lower overall severity than a "high" impact "remote, active" one - this
is left up to our users to consider given their specific circumstances.
Per our current conventions, a Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability is
generally considered to have a "low" risk impact (even if it is a
"remote, active" one, which is to be considered separately as it may
make the vulnerability fairly critical under specific circumstances).
Some examples of "medium" impact vulnerabilities would be bugs enabling
non-critical information leaks, cryptographic signature forgeries,
and/or sending of or accepting spoofed/forged network traffic (where
such behavior was unexpected), as long as they would not directly allow
for a "high" impact attack. Finally, a typical "high" impact
vulnerability would allow for privilege escalation such as ability to
execute code as another user ID than the attacker's (a "local" attack)
or without "legitimately" having such an ability (a "remote" attack).
The metrics specified are generally those for a worst case scenario,
however in certain cases ranges such as "none to low" or/and "local to
remote" may be specified, referring to the defaults vs. a worst case yet
"legitimate" custom configuration. In some complicated cases, multiple
issues or attacks may be dealt with at once. When those differ in their
severity metrics, we use slashes to denote the possible combinations.
For example, "low/none to high, remote/local" means that we've dealt
with issue(s) or attack(s) that are "low, remote" and those that are
"none to high, local". In those tricky cases, we generally try to
clarify the specific issue(s) and their severities in the description.
Changes made between Owl 2.0 and Owl 2.0-stable.
2010/02/19 kernel
SECURITY FIX Severity: none to medium, remote, active
Updated to Linux 2.4.37.9-ow1. The 2.4.37.9 kernel fixes an e1000
Ethernet driver issue that could have allowed remote attackers to bypass
packet filters.

(2010/01/20)
2010/01/20 Package: gzip
SECURITY FIX Severity: none to high, indirect, passive
Applied upstream's fix for an integer underflow leading to an array
index error in the way gzip used to decompress data compressed with the
Lempel-Ziv-Welch (LZW) compression algorithm. An attacker could provide
a specially-crafted LZW-compressed gzip archive, which once decompressed
by an unsuspecting user on a 64-bit system would lead to a gzip crash or
potentially to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user
running gzip.

(2009/11/17)
2009/11/17 kernel
SECURITY FIX Severity: none to high, local, active
Updated to Linux 2.4.37.7-ow1. The 2.4.37.7 kernel fixes a number of
security-related bugs.
(2009/10/25)
2009/10/25 kernel
SECURITY FIX Severity: none to medium, local, active
Updated to Linux 2.4.37.6-ow1. The 2.4.37.6 kernel fixes a number of
information leak vulnerabilities. One of these was already fixed in
2.4.37.5-ow1, and the remaining ones may or may not affect specific
systems depending on both kernel and userspace configuration.
(2009/08/23)
2009/08/23 kernel
SECURITY FIX Severity: none to high/medium, local, active
Updated to Linux 2.4.37.5-ow1. The 2.4.37.5 kernel adds a fix for the
"Linux NULL pointer dereference due to incorrect proto_ops
initializations", which on Owl was not exploitable into privilege
escalation on its own due to the vm.mmap_min_addr feature, as long as
the latter was enabled and working (there have been no known issues with
it in recent kernels). In our patched kernels, vm.mmap_min_addr is
enabled by default. Additionally, our default kernels did not include
support for any socket types via which the bug is known to be
triggerable. More importantly, Linux 2.4.37.5-ow1 adds a fix for the
sigaltstack local information leak affecting 64-bit kernel builds.

(2009/07/15)
2009/08/23 Package: dhcp
SECURITY FIX Severity: none to low, remote, active
Updated to 3.0.7. Fixed the DHCP server premature termination bug when
receiving certain well-formed DHCP requests, provided that the server
configuration mixes host definitions using "dhcp-client-identifier" and
"hardware ethernet". It has not been fully researched whether the bug
had any impact on versions 3.0.x of the DHCP server, and there is a
specific reason why it might not have had any impact, yet we're fixing
the underlying bug. Discovery and patch by Christoph Biedl.

(2009/07/20 - 2009/08/03)
2009/08/03 kernel
SECURITY FIX Severity: none to high, local to remote, active
Updated from Linux 2.4.37.2-ow1 to 2.4.37.4-ow1 (jumping over the update
to 2.4.37.3-ow1, which was temporary and thus only made in Owl-current).
This update adds the "-fno-delete-null-pointer-checks" option to gcc
invocations, which is important to reduce the impact of a class of
kernel bugs (which are yet to be found and fixed individually, but are
known to exist in general). It also introduces an additional security
hardening measure where the kernel will no longer allow the
"personality" feature (which is needed to support some program binaries
from other operating systems) to be abused to bypass the
vm.mmap_min_addr restriction via SUID-root programs with a certain class
of design errors in them. Finally, the update adds several
security-relevant fixes to the RTL-8169 NIC driver, and makes other
assorted changes.

(2009/07/28)
2009/07/29 Package: bind
SECURITY FIX Severity: low, remote, active
Backported upstream fix for a remote DoS bug: by sending a specially
crafted dynamic update packet to a BIND server, a remote unauthenticated
attacker could cause the server to crash. According to the ISC and to
our own testing, this vulnerability affects servers that are masters for
one or more zones - it is not limited to those that are configured to
allow dynamic updates. Our default BIND configuration includes several
master zones, such as 127.in-addr.arpa, which are usable for the attack.
BIND's own access controls (such as the "allow-query" directive) are
ineffective against the attack.

(2009/07/07)
2009/07/07 kernel
SECURITY FIX Severity: none to high, remote, active
Updated to Linux 2.4.37.2-ow1. The 2.4.37.2 kernel release adds several
bug fixes, including security-relevant ones.
(2009/07/07)
2009/07/07 Package: openssh
SECURITY FIX Severity: none to high, remote, active
Backported upstream fix for a syslog call inside a signal handler. The
security impact this issue might have had was not fully evaluated. On
Debian systems, the reported impact was processes getting stuck on locks
inside glibc. On Owl, no problems were ever reported, yet the call was
unsafe, with the worst-case impact being arbitrary code execution
(depending on processing inside glibc).

(2009/05/24)
2009/05/24 kernel
SECURITY FIX Severity: none to high, local, active
Updated to Linux 2.4.37.1-ow1. Linux 2.4.37.1, compared to 2.4.35-ow2,
adds numerous security-relevant fixes to various kernel subsystems.
(2009/05/09)
2009/05/23 Package: postfix
Introduced a patch to prevent leaking of the install host's name into
the aliases.db file.
(2009/04/08)
2009/04/11 Package: tcb
In the new version 1.0.3 of the tcb package, child processes spawned by
pam_tcb will now always use _exit(2) rather than exit(3) to avoid
triggering side effects. When changing passwords, pam_tcb will now
fsync(2) the temporary file prior to renaming it over the actual shadow
file, as needed on filesystems with not entirely atomic rename(2) (XFS).
Thanks to Pascal Terjan of Mandriva and to Ermanno Scaglione for
reporting these two issues, respectively.
(2009/03/06)
2009/03/06 Package: bind
Dropped the root-delegation-only directive from the default named
configuration because the list of TLDs that are not delegation-only was
incomplete and wouldn't be maintained/updated on all installs, causing
some DNS lookups of valid records to fail.

https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-5077
(2008/08/14)
2008/08/24 Package: postfix
Disabled the Solaris symlink hack that allowed local mail deliveries
through "root-owned" symlinks. Although this is a security update for
some other systems, on Owl the problem was avoided or mitigated in
several ways:
- we have a patch, introduced prior to Owl 2.0, that adds the
local_minimum_uid setting with a default of 500 - preventing local mail
deliveries to user "root" (unless it is correctly setup as an alias to
some other e-mail address), as well as to other system special accounts;
- there's no potential attack vector to get group "mail" privileges on
Owl with no third-party software added - no single program is installed
SGID "mail";
- the mail spool directory is only writable by root and group "mail"
(not world-writable), yet it has the sticky bit set (mode 1771), which
prevents the attack for already-existing mailboxes;
- "useradd -m", which must be used to create a user account with a home
directory, also pre-creates the mailbox;
- our default kernel includes the CONFIG_HARDEN_LINK option, enabled by
default, which thwarts the hardlink-to-symlink attack.

2008/08/10 Package: bind
Updated to 9.3.5-P2, added an OpenBSD-derived patch to implement
support for more than 1024 simultaneous recursive queries.
(2008/07/08)
2008/07/11 Package: bind

(2008/05/27)
2008/05/30 Package: openssh
Implemented support for RSA/DSA key blacklisting in sshd based on
partial fingerprints, added a subpackage with blacklisted 48-bit partial
fingerprints for 1024-bit and 2048-bit RSA and 1024-bit DSA keys as
generated on vulnerable Debian, Ubuntu, and derived systems for PID
range 1 to 32767. Due to the encoding scheme used, the blacklist file
size is just 1.3 MB, which corresponds to less than 4.5 bytes per
fingerprint. This effort was supported by CivicActions. References:

2007/08/30 Package: vim
SECURITY FIX Severity: none to high, indirect, passive
Backported upstream fix to restrict dangerous functions in modelines.
Note that vim's modelines have always been disabled on Owl by default
(with a setting in /usr/share/vim/vimrc) and even this fix is no guarantee
modelines will be safe to use or the restricted mode safe to rely upon
in the future.
Backported upstream fix for format string vulnerability in the
helptags_one function, which allowed user-assisted remote attackers to
execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in a help-tags tag
in a help file.

2007/08/18 kernel
Updated to Linux 2.4.35-ow2. The single known security-relevant change
added with Linux 2.4.35 is correction of the randomness pool update bug
discovered by the PaX Team. The -ow2 revision adds a fix for the parent
process death signal bug in the Linux kernel discovered by Wojciech
Purczynski of COSEINC PTE Ltd. and iSEC Security Research; this bug has
no security impact on Owl with no added SUID programs. Also added are
two security hardening features, both enabled by default: restricted
access to VM86 mode (specific to 32-bit x86) and restricted zero page
mappings (generic).

2007/01/30 Package: bind
SECURITY FIX Severity: low, remote, active
Updated to 9.3.4, which fixes two security issues.
The first issue is a "use after free" vulnerability which allowed remote
DoS attack via unspecified vectors that cause BIND to "dereference (read)
a freed fetch context".
The second issue allowed remote DoS attack via a type ANY DNS query
response that contains multiple RR sets in the answer section, which
triggers an assertion error if DNSSEC validation is enabled.
