Please make sure that the tool that creates the credentials stores them in
a mode 0600 file.  The API examples[1] do not mention this, and I think
it's an important bit of protection.

While playing with lplib for security team work, I took this a step
further and even make the directory unreadable.  e.g.:

cachedir = os.path.expanduser('~/.launchpadlib/cache')

What about the case of setting path for ruby gems running in CGI
environments?  A /usr/local symlink works for that, but /etc/environment
doesn't.

LP does not currently have a way to record all the information
the security team needs recorded for our work, so we use the
ubuntu-cve-tracker[1].  And another reason this isn't in LP yet is because
there is no stable API for doing data queries -- asking LP for the CVE
state of 500 installed packages would take a looong time right now.

We are already outputting human-readable state information[2], so
perhaps a long-term solution would be for someone to produce an output
mode for the tracker on a per-package basis (right now the output is
CVE-oriented).

Perhaps the best short-term solution would be to have the tool check the
LSB info and abort on non-Debian machines?

Upcoming Ubuntu Security Team meeting - Thursday, 8th of May - 20:00 UTC - #ubuntu-meeting

2008-05-07 Thread Kees Cook
Hi,

The next Security Team meeting is scheduled for the 8th at 20:00 UTC.
We'll be discussing plans for Intrepid, looking back at Hardy, and
generally getting ready for the current development cycle.

Everyone is welcome.  If you have specific topics you'd like to see
discussed, please add them to the agenda:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/Meeting

Thanks, and hope to see everyone there,

new default compiler flags

2008-05-02 Thread Kees Cook
In Edgy, we enabled "-fstack-protector" to gain protections against
stack overflow attacks.  For Intrepid, we've added more:

-Wl,-z,relro

 This is designed to provide some protection to ELF binaries so they
 can have their runtime link maps not as useful a target for attackers.
 Daemons and other programs that are more interested in security than
 time-to-load can also add "-Wl,-z,now" for maximal benefit.

 If this option causes problems, you can add "-Wl,-z,norelro" to LDFLAGS.

-Wformat -Wformat-security

 This is designed to warn during compile-time about potentially unsafe
 format string usage.  Generally "%s" is missing: 'printf(buffer);'
 instead of the correct 'printf("%s",buffer);'  These warnings will
 frequently not point to security issues, but I urge everyone to fix
 them if you see them anyway.

 To disable format-security warnings when you run with -Wall, use
 "-Wno-format-security".  To disable all format warnings, use
 "-Wformat=0".
 
-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2

 This is going to cause the most pain for this release -- this option
 enables checks for common unsafe usage of various libc functions (read,
 strcpy, memcpy, sprintf, printf, system, etc).  Most of the errors will
 be real things that need to be fixed in the source, with varying degree
 of importance.  Even if they don't turn out to be serious issues, they
 will improve the overall quality of code in Ubuntu.

 To disable these checks, use "-U_FORTIFY_SOURCE" in your CPPFLAGS.

Further details and examples of failure conditions are written up in the
wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompilerFlags

Thanks in advance for everyone's time and attention for fixing the
issues that will crop up.  :)

The debian/* files have a very strict format which is sensitive to
whitespace in particular.  I recommend using something like "dh_make" to
lay down the initial debian/* tree, and tools like "dch"[1] to manipulate
the changelog.

I think the packaging section[2] of the Devel wiki is useful, and found
the packaging tutorial[3] quite good.

Good luck!

Very nice!  Thanks for getting these done.  I've made some minor
adjustments:
- use -security pocket for dapper, edgy, feisty
- use regular versioning for gutsy
- don't adjust maintainer for dapper/edgy since the build tools for this
  are less well tested.

They are all building now, and I should have them published shortly.

Thanks!

I don't know if packages.ubuntu.com uses the -updates pockets.  It seems

Are you sure you have the -updates pocket enabled in your

Correct, 1.1.2-0.1ubuntu2 was built for gutsy.  You want the

motu security reviews

2007-05-25 Thread Kees Cook
Hi!

Since the dedicated security-review mailing list was shut down due to
low-traffic, I'd like to explicitly bring MOTU security reviews to the
ubuntu-motu list, since it may frequently include packaging issues, and
other MOTU-related things.  In the past, it was a relatively low-traffic
list, so I would expect the impact here to be small as well.  Assuming
no one has any objections, I can update the SUP[1] to reflect the new
place to discuss MOTU security stuff.

Thanks!

needing help: vnc4

Hi everyone,

Bug 78282[1] has been a real problem for people for a while now, and is 
related to vnc4 getting rebuilt for a security update.  Unfortunately, 
it doesn't work on edgy and feisty, and no one know is more familiar 
with the codebase has been able to help.  I tried repackaging vnc4 with 
a more recent Xorg source[2], but it still fails.  Does anyone have some 
time and knowledge to throw at this problem?

Re: Clamav?

2007-03-14 Thread Kees Cook
Hi Eric,

On Wed, Mar 14, 2007 at 07:06:25AM -0600, Eric Krieger wrote:
> Why is clamav not being maintained for all ubuntu versions (at least 
> back to Dapper LTS)? Some of us actually use clamav in a production

No one (that I've seen) has stepped up to take ownership of clamav.  I 
do, however, try to make time to release security updates for it, since 
I recognize that a lot of people use it and I don't want to leave them 
vulnerable.  (Lacking new features in a virus scanner, however, could be 
seen as "vulnerable" too -- that's true.  Regardless, it doesn't change 
the need for performing lots of testing on updates.)

Normally for security updates, we don't do full-version upgrades of 
software since there may be unintended breakage.  Security updates 
(which don't change the base version number) have been ongoing, though, 
which you can see, for example, in the Dapper changelog[1].  From that, 
you can also see that backports have happened at times.  Usually those 
need to be explicitly requested (and tested).  The best situation would 
be to have clamav go through a full SRU[2].

> WARNING: Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED!
> WARNING: Local version: 0.88.4 Recommended version: 0.90.1
> WARNING: Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED!
> WARNING: Current functionality level = 8, recommended = 14

So, to recap, I see three things that are possible for clamav:

1) let it age without security updates (ugly)
2) let it age, but backport security updates (middle-ground)
3) always have the latest version (wonderful)

Right now I've been treating clamav as "regular" software, and have just 
been backporting security flaws -- I built some simple tests to do 
validation, so it doesn't take much time to do basic tests.

Doing full-version upgrades will require more testing (e.g. did the 
library or unix-socket interfaces change?) before it gets published.  
What's needed to get us to "3" is someone to update the package, file an 
SRU, and then follow it through the SRU testing process.  I'm happy to 
help test (I use clamav myself), but I don't have the time to drive the 
process at the moment.  Would you be willing to help out with the SRUs?

Thanks,

I examined this yesterday; it's clean.  The 2.1.1 orig.tar.gz from 
Debian was taken prior to wordpress.org getting broken into.  Based on 
the report, the described backdoor wasn't present.

To avoid (this kind of) confusion, wordpress.org simply declared all of 
2.1.1 as "bad", just to make sure no one had a bad version.

Thanks for reporting this.  This was already reported as bug 81305[1], 
and fixed for feisty.  Feel free to report any other bugs you find (but 
please use the bugtracker).

A lot of developers find it much easier to follow issues that are on the

(especially since it gets us back into sync with Debian).  Could you 
prepare this, since you've got packages ready?

Thanks,

Out of curiosity, which package is it?

Woo-hoo!  This team is already rocking!  I'm always happy to have more 
eyes (and debdiffs) on the security issues in universe.  A bunch of 
-security uploads have already gone through as a result of motu-swat 
attention.  :)

One thing I'd like to figure out is some way to publicize universe 
security updates more widely.  One place that collects the "recent 
package updates" is the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter.  There's a Security 
Updates section which catches USNs (for main), and an Updates section 
which catches notifications sent to the $RELEASE-changes mailing list, 
but since security uploads are done kind of side-ways, they seem to 
bypass the -changes mailing lists (and as a result, the Newsletter).

Thanks motu-swat!  :)

Hi Bruno!

Please file a bug report in launchpad[1].  It is usually pretty hard to 
track bugs on a mailing list.

Thanks!

rebuilds for libssl0.9.7 -> libssl0.9.8

2006-10-12 Thread Kees Cook
Hi!  I've been making my way through packages that were still linked 
against libssl0.9.7, and have made some good progress (21 successfully 
rebuilt).  I've moved on to small code changes which is mostly the md5.h 
includes, and minor other fixes (current count: 10).

At this point, I've run into some strange stuff that I'm not sure how to 
deal with:

aolserver4-nsopenssl, aolserver4-nsimap: Built fine for all but amd64.  
Their prereq "aolserver4"'s most recent build only built for amd64[1] 
(all others failed), and has a bad start-up script (uses "source" 
instead of ".").  Should we try to fix aolserver4's latest version, or 
is there a way to "reject" the most recent build in favor of the earlier 
one?

arla: build-dep conflicts:
 The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  heimdal-dev: Conflicts: kerberos4kth-dev but 1.2.2-11.3ubuntu4 is to be

  kerberos4kth-dev: Depends: libotp0-kerberos4kth (= 1.2.2-11.3ubuntu4) but it 
is not going to be installed
Depends: libroken16-kerberos4kth (= 1.2.2-11.3ubuntu4) but 
it is not going to be installed
Depends: libkafs0-kerberos4kth (= 1.2.2-11.3ubuntu4) but it 
is not going to be installed
Depends: libkafs0-kerberos4kth (>= 1.2.2-11.3ubuntu4) but 
it is not going to be installed
Depends: libroken16-kerberos4kth (>= 1.2.2-11.3ubuntu4) but 
it is not going to be installed
Depends: libdb4.3-dev but it is not going to be installed
Any clue on how to fix this up?

sope: build-dep conflicts:
 The following packages have unmet dependencies:
   apache-dev: Depends: libdb4.4-dev but it is not going to be installed
This totally baffles me.  I can install the build-dep by hand without 
any problem, but within my sbuild environment, it breaks as above.  Any 
clues on how to solve this?

ldmud: segfaults during build:
 ./make_func instrs
 Primary codes: 249 (127 + 122) - Secondary codes:   62 ( 17 +  45)
 Tabled codes:   73 (  0 +  73) - Tabled varargs codes:  27 (  0 +  27)
 make[1]: *** [instrs.h] Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Ignore for now since it's in multiverse?


Thanks!
