1.8 deraadt 92: overrun problems in <strong>xterm</strong> related to the input-Method,
93: preeditType, and *Keymap resources. Additional buffer overruns exist in

154: <i>All architectures</i><br>
1.1 deraadt 155: A combination localhost+remote host security problem exists if a
1.26 jsyn 156: local user running a setuid binary causes a non-existent root .rhosts
1.1 deraadt 157: file to be created via a symbolic link with a specific kind of corefile,
158: and then subsequently uses rsh/rlogin to enter the machine from remote.
159: A similar exploit might also be possible using sshd which lacks any code
160: for checking for deviations from the expected format in the .rhosts or
161: .shosts files, but we have not confirmed this yet. The following two
162: fixes are recommended:
163: <p>

165: <li>
1.59 sthen 166: <a href="http://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.2/common/nosuidcoredump.patch">
1.1 deraadt 167: (1) A kernel patch which adds a new sysctl option which permits the

1.59 sthen 170: <li><a href="http://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.2/common/rcmd.patch">
1.1 deraadt 171: (2) Replaces the libc ruserok() function with a more paranoid
172: version which detects bogus looking .rhosts files better.</a>
173: </ul>
174: <p>
175: If the
176: first patch is used to stop setuid coredumps, then the second patch is
177: not as important.
178: This problem is fixed much better in OpenBSD-current, where the kernel's
179: symbolic link handling has been improved such that coredumping will not
180: create a file on the other side of a symbolic link. Such a patch is not
181: possible for the 4.4lite1 VFS layer in the OpenBSD 2.2 kernel.<p>
182: The problem with the ruserok() function appears to also exist in
183: ssh 1.2.21 and previous (the ssh people have been alerted).

1.1 deraadt 187: A bug in the vm system permits a file descriptor opened read-only on a
188: device, to later on be mmap(2)'d read-write, and then modified. This
189: does not result in a security hole by itself, but it does violate the
