Hash: SHA1
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Source: HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY
SECURITY BULLETIN: HPSBUX0304-254
Originally issued: 09 April 2003
SSRT3536 Potential Security Vulnerability in CIFS/9000 Server
-----------------------------------------------------------------
NOTICE: There are no restrictions for distribution of this
Bulletin provided that it remains complete and intact.
The information in the following Security Bulletin should be
acted upon as soon as possible. Hewlett-Packard Company will
not be liable for any consequences to any customer resulting
from customer's failure to fully implement instructions in this
Security Bulletin as soon as possible.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
PROBLEM: CIFS/9000 Server is potentially vulnerable to altered
SMB/CIFS network messages.
IMPACT: Potential remote root access.
PLATFORM: All HP9000 servers running CIFS/9000 Server versions up
through A.01.09.02 on HP-UX 11.0, 11.11(11i), and 11.22
SOLUTION: HP-UX 11.0/11.11
Download and install the smbd.11.00.r1 file containing
the fix. This file must be manually installed on the
CIFS Server version A.01.09.01 or A.01.09.02
HP-UX 11.22
The CIFS Server must be disabled until the new
CIFS/9000 Server version A.01.09.03 is available on
software.hp.com
MANUAL ACTIONS: Yes - NonUpdate
HP-UX 11.0/11.11
Install the smbd.11.00.r1 file.
HP-UX 11.22
Disable the CIFS/9000 Server.
AVAILABILITY: The temporary fix, smbd.11.00.r1, is available now.
This bulletin will be revised when web upgrades
are available.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
A. Background
Note: Although having similar descriptions, this is a
different vulnerability from that described in
HPSBUX0303-251:
SSRT3509 Potential Security Vulnerability
in CIFS/9000 Server
Using the fix described in this bulletin will correct
both vulnerabilities.
Note: The following are not vulnerable:
HP OpenVMS
HP NonStop Servers
HP Secure Web Servers for HP Tru64 UNIX
HP Secure Web Servers for HP Tru64 OpenVMS
As further information becomes available HP
will provide notice of the availability of any
additional Samba updates through standard security
bulletin announcements and information will be
available from your normal HP Services support channel.
CIFS Server version A.01.09.02 and prior may allow modified
SMB/CIFS messages to cause smbd to overwrite portions of its
own process address space. This could potentially be
exploited to gain root access remotely.
The latest version of CIFS Server adds checks for proper
SMB/CIFS messages to prevent invalid smbd memory accesses.
B. Recommended solution
If /opt/samba/bin/smbd is present on a system the following
instructions should be followed.
HP-UX 11.0/11.11
================
Update to version A.01.09.02 (available on software.hp.com)
if running versions of CIFS Server prior to A.01.09.01 .
Then download and install the fixed smbd as detailed below.
When available on software.hp.com, install the complete CIFS
Server 2.2e package (version A.01.09.03) to update the entire
product.
Instructions for installing the fixed smbd:
NOTE: If CIFS Server version A.01.09.03 is already installed,
this fixed smbd is not needed.
1. Update to CIFS Server version A.01.09.02 if necessary.
The CIFS Server is available on software.hp.com
2. Download new smbd.11.00.r1.gz binary file:
System: hprc.external.hp.com (192.170.19.51)
Login: samba
Password: samba
FTP Access: ftp://samba:sambahprc.external.hp.com/
or: ftp://samba:samba192.170.19.51/
or: ftp hprc.external.hp.com
Note: There is an ftp defect in IE5 that may result in
a browser hang. To work around this:
- Select Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced
- Un-check the option:
[ ] Enable folder view for FTP sites
3. Unpack the file with gunzip and verify the cksum or
the md5 sum:
cksum:
638984860 2555904 smbd.11.00.r1
MD5 (smbd.11.00.r1) = 1b9aed7552aa94d86e8bbe47cda16778
Note: If you wish to verify the md5 sum and you do not
have a copy of md5, please refer to:
HPSBUX9408-016
Patch sums and the MD5 program
Note: Using your itrc account security bulletins can be
found here:
http://itrc.hp.com/cki/bin/doc.pl/screen=ckiSecurityBulletin
4. Replace current smbd file with new version:
Back up the original smbd file : /opt/samba/bin/smbd
Stop CIFS/9000 Server if it is running.
Copy the downloaded smbd.11.00.r1 to /opt/samba/bin/smbd
Note: smbd.11.00.r1 is for both HP-UX 11.00 and
HP-UX 11.11 (11i).
Restart CIFS/9000 Server if it had been running.
HP-UX 11.22
===========
Disable the CIFS/9000 Server.
When available on software.hp.com, update to CIFS/9000 Server
version A.01.09.03

and by bulletin topic. Security Patch Check completely
automates the process of reviewing the patch matrix for
11.XX systems. Please note that installing the patches
listed in the Security Patch Matrix will completely
implement a security bulletin _only_ if the MANUAL ACTIONS
field specifies "No."
The Security Patch Check tool can verify that a security
bulletin has been implemented on HP-UX 11.XX systems providing
that the fix is completely implemented in a patch with no
manual actions required. The Security Patch Check tool cannot
verify fixes implemented via a product upgrade.
