REVISION: 1

SSRT3631 - Tru64 UNIX sendmail Potential Security Vulnerability

- ----------------------------------------------------------
NOTICE: There are no restrictions for distribution of this
Bulletin provided that it remains complete and intact.

RELEASE DATE: 30 October 2003

SEVERITY:  1

SOURCE:  HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY
Software Security Response Team

REFERENCE:  CA-2003-25, SSRT3612, SSRT3531

PROBLEM SUMMARY
A potential security vulnerability has been identified in
sendmail where a buffer overflow could result in a local or
remote user gaining unauthorized privileged access.

VERSIONS IMPACTED
All currently supported versions of HP Tru64 UNIX running
sendmail including:

HP Tru64 UNIX 5.1B  All Base levels

HP Tru64 UNIX 5.1A  All Base levels

HP Tru64 UNIX 5.1   All Base levels

HP Tru64 UNIX 4.0G  All Base levels

HP Tru64 UNIX 4.0F  All Base levels

and

HP Tru64 UNIX (IX) Internet Express running sendmail versions
8.9.3 through 8.12.9 which were delivered with IX kit versions
5.43 through 6.12.

To determine if this patch kit is needed

If the installed the version of sendmail was shipped with
affected versions of HP Tru64 UNIX or HP Tru64 UNIX (IX)
Internet Express versions 5.4 through 6.1 a patch will be
required.  Sendmail versions 8.9.3 through 8.12.9 are affected.

To determine the version of sendmail run the following command:

# /usr/sbin/sendmail -d0.1

Version 8.9.3
 Compiled with: some verbiage


RESOLUTION

Until the resolutions are available in HP Tru64 UNIX mainstream
release patch kits, HP is releasing the following Early Release
Patch (ERP) kits.

The fixes contained in the ERP kits are scheduled to be available
in the following mainstream patch kits:

     HP Tru64 UNIX V5.1B PK4

     HP Tru64 UNIX V5.1A PK6

NOTE: New 2048 byte maximum line enforcement for Tru64 UNIX
versions 5.1B, 5.1A and 5.1

The patched versions of sendmail for Tru64 UNIX versions 5.1B, 5.1A
and 5.1 include updated code from sendmail.org that enforces a
maximum
line length of 2048 bytes within a message.

If there is an application or other need to issue lines that exceed
2048 bytes, override the line length enforcement by entering the
following line in the sendmail.cf file:

MaxMimeHeaderLength=-1/-1

Early Release Patches

The ERP kits use dupatch to install and will not install over any
installed Customer Specific Patches (CSPs) that have file
intersections
with the ERPs.  Contact the appropriate HP Services support channel
for
assistance if the installation of the ERPs is blocked by any
installed CSPs.

For alternatives to using the Dupach ERP kit solutions for the HP
Tru64
UNIX Base OS please see the following Web page:
http://h30097.www3.hp.com/unix/AlternativesToUsingDupatch.htm.

The following ERP kits are available for HP Tru64 UNIX:

NOTE: These currently released ERPs do have file interactions with
the
ERPs provided to resolve SSRT3531 i.e. 5.1A PK4 (BL21), 5.1 PK6
(BL20),
4.0G PK3 (BL17), 4.0F PK7 (BL18) however, they are designed to
install
standalone or seamlessly over the previous SSRT3531 patch kits.
