Subject: Re: NFS Hack Attack ? CERT says many linux systems vunerable!
To me the issue is Linux NFS being susceptible to this kind of attack. It
looks like a buffer overflow type of attack.
Also, users should check that they are running the latest versions (without
trojan's). Also it seems they are scanning for vunerables and waiting til some
later time to do, what?
From www.cert.org:
http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-98.12.mountd.html
CA-98.12.mountd
October 12, 1998
There is a vulnerability in some implementations of the software that NFS
servers use to log requests to use file systems. Intruders who exploit the
vulnerability are able to gain administrative access to the vulnerable NFS file
server. That is, they can do anything the system administrator can do. This
vulnerability can be exploited remotely and does not require an account on the
target machine.
Affected systems:
NFS servers running certain implementations of mountd, primarily Linux systems.
On some systems, the vulnerable NFS server is enabled by default. This
vulnerability can be exploited even if the NFS server does not share any file
systems.
There is a vulnerability in some implementations of the software that handles
NFS mount requests (the mountd program). Specifically, it is possible for an
intruder to overflow a buffer in the area of code responsible for logging NFS
activity.
We have received reports indicating that intruders are actively using this
vulnerability to compromise systems and are engaging in large-scale scans to
locate vulnerable systems.
II. Impact
After causing a buffer overflow, a remote intruder can use the resulting
condition to execute arbitrary code with root privileges.
III. Solution
A. Install a patch from your vendor.
Red Hat Software, Inc.
All versions of Red Hat Linux are vulnerable, and we have provided fixed
packages for all our users. Updated nfs-server packages are available from our
site at http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/errata.html
The NetBSD Project
NetBSD is not vulnerable to this attack in any configuration. Neither the NFS
server or mount daemon are enabled by default.
Caldera
Caldera provided a fixed version as nfs-server-2.2beta35-2 on Aug 28. It is
available from
ftp://ftp.caldera.com/pub/OpenLinux/updates/1.2/013
FreeBSD, Inc.
FreeBSD 2.2.6 and above seem not be vulnerable to this exploit.
Lastly for 2.2 kernel people. the latest NFS software ( which should have the
fixes needed )
NFS
The user-land 2.2beta40 release:
ftp://ftp.mathematik.th-darmstadt.de/pub/linux/okir/dontuse/nfs-server-2.2beta40.tar.gz
ftp://linux.nrao.edu/mirrors/fb0429.mathematik.th-darmstadt.de/pub/linux/okir/dontuse/nfs-server-2.2beta40.tar.gz

Subject: NIC card not initializing
Date: Tue, 16 Mar 1999 04:03:38 GMT
Greetings all,
I'm trying to connect my Linux Box to a TCP/IP network. I have a 486DX4 100
with 32MB RAM, DTC 2278E controller, ATI Mach32, and an ISA SMC Elite
Ultra Network card (83C790QF Chipset). I tried using the Kernel
configuration utility under Xwindows. I chose the SMC Ultra module, and
configured the card properly. I then used the Network configuration utility
to setup the ip addresses, net mask, etc. The card did not initialize during
lilo boot. I also tried "ifconfig -a", with no output. I then swapped the
card with a new 3COM Etherlink III card and ran the configuration utilities
again. The same thing happens. I then typed "cat /some directory/proc" to
check for address conflicts, there was none. I also can't find eth0 in the
/dev directory. The HOWTO documents says to recompile the kernel to use the
ethernet modules. The documents says to untar the kernel source file in
"/usr/src" and run make config or make menuconfig. I don't see any kernel tar
files and "make config" yielded an error. How can I recompile the kernel
to use the ethernet module? Any help would beappreciated?
Thank You,
James
P.S. I also inserted, "append eth0=10, 0x300" in lilo.conf. Nothing happens

And you will then need to run smbpasswd for each user, as ther is no way
to extract the palin text password from the /etc/passwd, and the plain
text password is needed to define the encrypted password in /etc/smbpasswd.

OK so maybe all us newbies should learn how to compile the kernal. But
there is no reason why it should be our first project. Nor is there any
reason why linux should be researved for those comfortable with C or
compiling. There is a LOT of learning with linux, and I'll agree that in
the long run that is a good thing. BUT making it HARD for us to learn will
cause too many newbies to give up because unlike you (and I hope me) most
people just aren't stubborn enough to keep reinstalling again and again
before they get the things they already depend on working. OK so maybe you
feel it's a case of good ridence to the wimps who give up. But if we chase
away all the newbies who are looking for a way to get away from windows by
making it too difficult for them to get to know what linux really can do
for them, we only make it easier for Microsoft (or someone who thinks like
them) to dominate the OS universe with something designed to keep you in
the dark as to how it works.

PLUG AND PLAY (oh thank gosh it's not ready for that) But it would be nice
if we made it easier to get the info linux needs to be configured...
What would it take to have a conversion chart that lists a safe workable
generic hardware configureation value against something like the way the
same hardware would be described by microsofts msd program. Thus someone
who already owns hardware that they didn't know enough to keep the manuals
for (or who got them 2nd hand without such useful things) can at least use
the info they do have to get running...

So because the people who didn't want to help you made it hell for you
to learn, everybody must go through hell??? I feel sorry for you!
BESIDES the fact it that while your right, not EVERYTHING comes precompiled
in the kernals, most the things the newbie needs do come on the kernals that
ship with modern disrtibutions... (Though I can only really speak for
slackware 3.5 distribution) which came with ppp support pre configured And
even came with a kernal version with both ppp and support for older
propriatory CD-roms <such as my old soundblaster> AND while I will
eventualy learn to recompile my kernal so that it doesn't have to scan the
cd-rom every time I boot, I did not have to do so to get ppp-working. and
If I had listened to the jerks who kept telling me I had to compile my
kernal to get something working that WAS in fact ALREADY BUILT-IN to the
prepackaged sample kernals I, in my ignorance would never have been able to
determine when the problem was the kernal or some other problem, and would
probably have had to give up and live in a dos only universe...

I fixed the problem with help of Klimas.
The main problem in this was even if enter the values IP, netmask, brcast
through the Network Configuration & Linux Conf tools it doesn't update my
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file which is the crux of the
problem.

I use their DS108 dual-speed hub at work, and the EN104 hub at home. In both
locations there are Linux machines with Netgear NICs (100bt PCI) and 10bt ISA.
Both cards came with Linux ne.c (the ISA) and tulip.c (PCI) sources that
compiled in a snap just before I added them to the conf.modules. The
documentation on their website (netgear.baynetworks.com) and in the manual
suggests using their version of the tulip driver, not the free-domain one.
Don't know why. The ISA card comes with a DOS program that sets PnP on or off
and lets you set the IRQ and io.

take a look at samba. (www.samba.org). It's a very nice program that allows
you to do just that. Windows machines cannot tell the difference between
samba box and NT server, so as far as your clients are concerned, they'll
think the NT server got an upgrade. The ultimate upgrade, if you will...

Jeremy, your situation pretty much mirrors my own--@Home w/ Linux, could
ping only loopback, etc. I had a breakthrough tonight, when I _enabled_ my
Dell Dimension's Plug & Play (the good people at Dell ship new systems with
the service turned off, I found out--probably to eliminate one variable in
support calls).
Is the card being assigned an Ethernet address of "ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff" at
startup (upon ifconfig)? If so, you're experiencing an IRQ conflict which,
in my case, PnP was able to resolve. My DNS is still not working, though...
back to the grind....

OK. Now I've got MARS_NWE installed and running properly - ie: it starts
without hassle, but it doesn't appear when I run slist.
I'm getting depressed here, I visited the web page, but my German isn't too
good..
My questions now are as follows:
If I have an existing Novell 3.11 server on the network, should I have any
unusual setups in the nwserv.conf?
slist is finding my existing Novell server, and I can ncpmount the volume on
this server with no problems. So I figured that I must have IPX networking
set up properly.
I then removed section 4 from my nwserv.conf file, on the basis that my IPX
setup is fine as it stands. Should I remove section 3 as well?

Date: Mon, 15 Mar 1999 19:22:19 -0800
Hi,
I'm trying to enable networking in Red Hat Linux. The problem is I can't
re-compile the Red Hat kernel. I can't figure out how to get the source
code into /usr/src/linux. Unfortunately, Red Hat puts their source codes in
/usr/src/redhat under several sub directories, and I'm not sure where or
what files I'm supposed to use. (So much for standardization) I've
RTFManual a thousand times but like I said, friggin Red Hat has decided to
do it their own way.
Does anyone know what to do for Red Hat 5.2? Otherwise it's back to
Slackware. By the way, I can't JUST download a copy of the source code
because it's not hooked up to the network, I have to read it off the
"source" CD that comes with RH Linux. So I'm kinda screwed there too.
For those who know, I've gotten this far ...
rpm'ed the kernel source files from the CD (kernel.etc.etc.rpm) which placed
some files in the SPECS directory
then I rpm'ed the files in the SPECS directory which placed files in the
BUILD directory ... so now what?
Thanks,
Michael Wisniewski

In my experience NT only crashes when administered by people that don't know
what they are doing, or are trying to use too many of it myriad
possibilities on one machine, or have loaded who knows what ot the many
possible applications onto it
Most Linux machines do nothing but serve files, maybe web, maybe dns and
SQL. My NT servers doing only this never crash either.

Im not a great sendmail guru, so I couldn't tell you what to change in
the config file, but how about running two seperate servers, one for
local network mail, and one for outgoing mail to the internet?

Subject: IP Masquerading abilities?
Date: Mon, 15 Mar 1999 20:01:55 -0800
My lan goes through a router that masquerades to the internet.
Can I set up the router's ipfwadm so that it will remap and forward a
packet originating from inside the lan back to the lan?
Normally
LAN -> router (remap) -> outside world new IP address and port
I want it to
LAN (using new IP address and port) -> router -> back to lan, as if
packet originated from outside.
The problem is my game matcher (part of xbomberman) sends the client
a list of hosted games which consist of ip addresses and port numbers,
but these have been remapped after going through the router.
Thanks

change the user's shell to /bin/false (using chsh) and make sure /bin/false
is listed in /etc/shells
