Fw: una-al-dia (05/12/2000) Vulnerabilidad en el cifrado de la password de KMail
Supongo q muchos lo habreis recibido para los q no aqui lo posteo. - Original Message - From: Noticias Hispasec [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 05, 2000 1:37 AM Subject: una-al-dia (05/12/2000) Vulnerabilidad en el cifrado de la password de KMail Hispasec - una-al-día 05/12/2000 Todos los días una noticia de seguridad www.hispasec.com Vulnerabilidad en el cifrado de la password de KMail KMail es un cliente de correo electrónico muy difundido porque forma parte del conocido entorno KDE. Desafortunadamente, tiene una grave vulnerabilidad que permite que cualquier persona con acceso de lectura al fichero de configuración pueda descifrar inmediatamente la contraseña de correo. La configuración de las cuentas se guarda en el fichero .kde/share/config/kmailrc, en el cual hay una entrada denominada passwd que guarda la contraseña para acceder al servicio POP3. Esta contraseña se guarda cifrada, pero el algoritmo de cifrado es tan simple que convierte en trivial la tarea de recuperarla. El algoritmo de cifrado puede expresarse como: E(c) = ASCII(287-ASCII(c)) Por ejemplo, E(ñ) = ASCII(287-ASCII(ñ)) = ASCII(287-241) = ASCII(46) = . y E(kde) = E(k) E(d) E(e) = = ASCII(287-ASCII(k)) ASCII(287-ASCII(d)) ASCII(287-ASCII(e)) = = ASCII(287-107) ASCII(287-100) ASCII(287-101) = = ASCII(180) ASCII(187) ASCII(186) = = ´»º Evidentemente, este hecho supone una seria amenaza para la seguridad de las contraseñas cifradas. Afortunadamente, KMail por defecto no guarda la contraseña POP3 sino que para hacerlo hay que activar la opción Store password in config file. A la vista del método de cifrado utilizado, recomendamos encarecidamente no utilizar dicha opción, a pesar de la incomodidad que ello supone. Existe, además, el problema adicional de que al borrar una cuenta toda la información de ésta, incluída la contraseña débilmente cifrada, permanece en el fichero de configuración.

Vulnerabilidad en el cifrado de la password de KMail
KMail es un cliente de correo electrónico muy difundido porque forma
parte del conocido entorno KDE. Desafortunadamente, tiene una grave
vulnerabilidad que permite que cualquier persona con acceso de lectura
al fichero de configuración pueda descifrar inmediatamente la
contraseña de correo.
Yo no lo veo como una vulnerabilidad. Veamos, sólamente puede conseguir
la clave quien tenga derecho de lectura al fichero ~/.kde/share. En el
caso de que alguien tenga derecho a ese fichero sin que sea el usuario, la
vulnerabilidad no es del kmail, si no del administrador de la máquina.
Si no, el fetchmail, tb tendría una vulnerabilidad si cabe un poco más
grabe, porque no se molesta ni en aplicarle un algoritmo (ni siquiera tan
simple) para ocultar la lectura de ésta.

instalacion via red
Hola, estoy intentando instalar Potato via ftp, primero he creado unos discos con el sistema base y lo he instalado. Hasta aqui sin problemas. Ahora quiero configurar la tarjeta de red, escribir el sources.list e instalar via ftp. Los problemas: La tarjeta creo que es una DE305, que modulos tengo que cargar y que debo tocar para que funcione? He probado con varios modulos y todos me responden: init_module: Device or resource busy no he elegido bien los modulos? o falla algo mas? Arrancando con un cd de la Suse que tenia por ahi veo que me arranca el modulo tlan.o (compaq netelligent 10/100/netflex3) pero lo he probado tanto con insmod como con modprobe obteniendo el mismo resultado que antes. No se que mas probar, a ver si me podei echar una mano, si no tendré que bajarme los cd's. Gracias por adelantado. TA LUEG Quimi

Instalacion En Disco Rigido Para Otra Pc
Hola lista, queria preguntarles si es posible instalar en un disco rigido y luego usar ese disco rigido en otra Pc. Resulta que tengo una pc en mi trabajo que la queremos usar como estacion de trabajo para lo cual me pidieron que le instalara la distribucion de Mandrake ya que esta se aclopa muy bien a las necesidades de usuario pero esta no tiene booteo desde cd-rom y cuando quiero instalar usando un diskette con la imagen para bootear con cd-rom se queda colgado, la unidad es totalmente standard por lo que no necesita de alguna configuracion especial, entonces pensaba si era posible instalar desde mi pc (que si tiene booteo desde cd-rom y no he tenido ningun problema), configurarle las X y luego usar ese disco rigido en la otra Pc, las maquinas son diferentes, estas son las especificaciones: Maquina 1: Booteable desde Cd-Rom Marca : Clone Procesador : Pentuim II 350 MHZ Memoria Ram : 64 MB Tarjeta De Video : S3 Maquina 2 Marca : AST Bravo LC 5100 Procesador: Pentim 100 Mhz Memoria Ram : 32 MB Tarjeta de Video : Sis 6205 Como ven las maquinas son diferentes pero ambas cumplen con las especificaciones minimas para instalar Linux, se que esta lista es de Debian pero les pregunto esto ya que yo uso Debian y el servidor que va a utilizar la maquina remota sera un Debian, espero no molestar a nadie de la lista por usar la distribucion de Mandrake pero es la distribucion que me pidieron que instale :(, gracias a todos y espero que puedan ayudarme. Una ultima pregunta, si tengo configurado correctamente las X en Debian que archivos necesito copiar para que en Mandrake no tenga que volver a configurarlas?? el XF86config.conf ?? alguno otro??

No puedo instalar desde particion...
Hola a todos, como estan? yo aca con problemas que les paso a contar: Me bajé de la red el KDE, todos los archivos porque no sabia cual instalar y cual necesitaria tal aplicacion... en fin, bajé todos para no tener problemas después. Voy a preguntar brevemente porque hice muchas cosas que ni yo recuerdo ya, asi que solo les preguntaré esto: Como hago para instalar el KDE desde un directorio? porque si pongo file:/kde en sources.list, al querer usar el apt-get install nombre_paquete me da este error: Reading Package List... Error! E: Read error - Read (21 Is a directory) problem opening /var/state/apt/lists/_kde_dists_stable_main_binary-i386_Packages E: The package lists or status file can not be parsed or opened Cual es la lista de paquetes? solo baje los .deb y supuse que era suficiente con eso. Qué tengo que modificar para que me reconozca ese directorio como fuente de archivos? modifiqué el sources.list y demas, cree unos directorios tipo /var/state/apt/lists/_kde_dists_stable_main_binary-i386_Packages que me decia no existian, y despues de crearlos los encuentra pero me da el error de antes. Meti los .deb ahi y todo, pero nada sale. Cómo hago para instalarlos? Antes de que me tiren con algo, les aclaro que hace poco comencé con Linux y tengo un winmodem que no pude instalar en Linux. Por tanto, los archivos los bajé desde Windows y los pasé a Linux, razón por la cual es unicamente un directorio, la fuente de archivos que puedo utilizar para instalar el KDE. Uso Potato pero no lo tengo completo, por eso no tengo KDE. Les mando un abrazo y espero me puedan ayudar... en unos días supongo ya tendré el nuevo modem, pero mientras tanto no me queda otra que instalar asi las cosas. Hasta pronto.

apt-get doesn't install everything
Hi, since I've upgraded to woody (about 3-4 weeks ago) apt-get sometimes installs only part of the package. I have this from time to time and it seems not to be related to the package. Example: Last night I installed isdnutils, and it didn't install the /etc/isdn/ parts. I converted then the deb package to tgz and yes -- the tgz CONTAINED the stuff. So it's likely not a package but a dpkg problem. I friend of mine experienced the same. apt-get install --reinstall doesn't help either. Did someone experience the same ? -- Johannes

Allright, I've been trying to take this up with matroxusers, matrox'
technical support people, etc, and I still don't seem any closer to
an answer. Matrox G400 32mb DH card on an up-to-date woody
installation, 2.4.0-test11 kernel. The problem described below has
appeared for as long as I can remember. (Relatively early in
Branden's phase-2 debs)
DGA display does not want to work. Whenever a program attempts to
do display the video mode changes, but only a black screen is
displayed. Everything else (sound, input etc) seems to go on, but
there's no display whatsoever. Once the program stops using dga or
terminates, display is restored. This has been observed in Wine,
snes9x, and the dga test program. No errors are reported, by the
server, nor on the standard output of the program in question. I've
attached my XF86Config-4 file, but I get the impression this isn't
going to help much, and I'll tell you why.
Between XF86 3.x and 4.x, there were some major changes in DGA. Lots of
things break with it (you left xmame off your list, too).
But there's now a patch on the xmame list for DGA2 and Matrox
(though it probably broke other things... I know Hans, the xmame
maintainer is running 3.3.6 and hasn't bothered seriously looking at the
DGA1 vs DGA2 differences.)
The summary of the patch from Shyouzou Sugitani:
| With this patch, xmame works well with DGA2.0 on my Matrox G200.
| My conclusion is that we need to call XF86DGADirectVideo() before
| XF86VidModeSwitchToMode().
|
| From README.DGA(version 2.0):
| XDGAOpenFramebuffer() should be called prior to initializing
| a dga mode if direct framebuffer access is desired for that mode.
I _can_ get DGA working if I switch to Matrox's now-over-2-month-old
driver. The only problem with this solution is that it's designed
for DRM1, so using it will kill off my currently working (and very
well i should add) GL. I also haven't been able to extract from
matrox any information on when they plan to release updated drivers.
It's not a Matrox issue per se. It's the changes in DGA.
I'm not sure of any other information to add, but if there's
something you need, ask and you shall recieve. I also cannot
confirm whether or not these symptons exhibit themselves in the
current XFree4 CVS. (I'm on a 28.8 modem, and my access to the
local T1 is sporadic). Any comment with respect to that, or
anything else, would be greatly appreciated.
Yes, you'll have similar problems with any application that calls
XF86VidModeSwitchToMode -before- XDGAOpenFramebuffer.

Re: spidermonkey.helixcode.com down?
Yes, the site was down for a bit earlier today. It's back up now as of 1:40 a.m CST. Cheng Dear debian-users, I decided to take the plunge and add the HelixCode site to sources.list, and 'apt-get install task-helix-gnome task-helix-gnome-dev' -- I figured I might as well get up to date with Gnome and see how it is these days. I get some errors from apt-get of this nature (for about 5 packages): Err http://spidermonkey.helixcode.com unstable/main sawfish-gnome 0.33.1-helix2 404 Not Found Failed to fetch http://spidermonkey.helixcode.com/distributions/debian/dists/woody/main/binary-i386/sawfish-gnome_0.33.1-helix2_i386.deb 404 Not Found Unable to correct missing packages.

(maybe your not following security updates, modutils was upgraded about 5 times to fix the same bug recently...)

Uh, this depends on what you wan't to do. One basic thing: cgi stands foc common gateway interface. Through this interface you can start all binarys or other programm code wich is supported by the operating system. php has nothing to do with cgi. It's a special apache mod. i've searched and read alot of faqs and so far they're all just howtos. the only conclusion i can come up with is with php u can use it directly with html (plus also call it from html code) whereas with perl the only way u can use it is to call it from your html code. Don't know if you got it exectly. The main difference it between cgi's and php. A cgi (could be Perl, C or whatever) prints the html code, in a php doc you normaly put the results within the php code. Start a little bit reading in the manual and you'll get it. For work with databeses php is one of the best thinks in the web! Cu, Sven
XFree86 4.0.1 packages and Potato
Hiya I'm wondering how things are standing with XFree86 4.0.1 packages for Debian 2.2 (Potato). I've noticed that they are already available for Woody, but not for Potato. I've tried to compile the woody source package, but I keep recompiling libs to get it the libs compiled I need to get X compiled, so if I would continu I would probably end up having a Woody system. Is there any solution to this, apart from switching to Woody? Thanks a lot in advance, Erik Noort PS I need XF86 4.0.1 to get my Matrox G450 working.

Yes. If you prefer to use System Commander - which I do because I have several Windows configurations and a debian on my PC and the different users (kids, wife and I) have each there password for their own os - then: during install of debian choose lilo to put the boot stuff NOT in the masterbootrecord; you should install it in root partition of debian. Btw systemcommander should be installed on FAT16 (systemcommander 2000 can also be installed on FAT32) If you are not stuck on System Commander - no need for more than one password - you can also use linux' lilo and put an extra stanza in it for your windows. Regards [EMAIL PROTECTED] 3-12-2000 19:14:39 is it possible to double boot windows and debian on a PIII pc, perhaps using system commander? sm

Re: 100Mbs ether cards talking @ 10Mbs ...
it might be limited by speed of disks, not by speed of network. try to get some diagnostics for the network card you use (not sure if it's available for your particular card, nor where to find it) and see what it says about conection. also, try some connection that is not disk related, I am not sure how to test it, maybe huge RAM-disk, or write some simple network program, well, two programs, one generating data (faster then 100Mbs), another one reading data... or open few VNCs with some graphics intensive stuff and see what you can squeeze out of the cards... erik Jan Pfeifer wrote: hi, I have two computers connected with a crossover cable (BTW, thanks rw), both with 100Mb/s ethernet cards (SIS900 RealTek 8139) but they seem to be connected only by 10Mb/s (NFS transfers are at a bit more than 1 mbyte/s).

multiple pages fax
Hello since recently I am using a debian computer as a fax machine (it works really good with the mgetty packages). In the same time I am having a number of problems which I was not able to resolve even with a reasonable reading effort. Non of them is a death-blow, but overall they are kind of annoying. Do any of you know: 1) how to glue a multiple paged fax into a single file (It is not fun to print 50 pages one by one) 2) hiw to translate a multiple paged fax (.g3) into something more reasonable--single ps or something like that. In fact I am interested in a package which can do the job in the batch mode. I have been searching the net and found multiple links to the software which is either can not be compiled on my debian box or does not seem to be in development. The mgetty manual tells a lot how to make a g3 file to send but nearly nothing about the inverse process. Right, there are references how to print a file to the laser jet, but what if I want to store my faxes in a kind of archive and want to be able to view them in a good viwer? Hence, the problem is to find not just a reference to a prog on the Net, but to find a solution which actually works. Does anybody have an working solution to share? thanks a lot -- Peter O.

update 2.2 - 2.2r2
Hi there Well, my computer has no internet connection itself, so I won't be able to do apt-get dist-update. I must download all packages I need at university, put them on Iomega ZIP's, carry them home ant install them from the ZIP's. Now, is there a way to find out 1.) which packages have changed 2.) which I have to download (I don't need to update the ones I don't have installed yet;-)) ? When all this is done, do I have to put them on my local harddisk in the same directory structure as on the debian mirrors? What will I have to add to my sources.list? This were quite a lot of questions, I know. Is there a howto on such a way to make an update? thanks a lot joerg -- Did you know that if you play a Windows 2000 cd backwards, you will hear the voice of Satan? That's nothing!

mt: /dev/nst0: Input/output error
Hope someone can help here... I've been testing out Arkeia as a backup system (it's free for small configurations - server plus two clients - now). I've got a SCSI DLT4000 (Quantum). I think my problem happened when a cron job tried to write to the tape at the same time as I was playing with Arkeia. Now I get: ns1:~ sudo mt -f /dev/nst0 status mt: /dev/nst0: Input/output error The machine is remote so I've tried a soft reboot but to no avail. I don't think it's Arkeia's fault because it happened once before and a poer down reboot did the trick. Is there any way I can clear the fault without physically visiting the machine? I've searched the WWW and, while there are quite a few reports of people havign similar problems, there doesn't seem to be any workable solutions. Thanks in advance.

Re: X4 and my Voodoo Banshee
I'm having a hell of a time getting this to work. Ahhh, the painful process of learning. I'm running a mostly-clean install of Debian. It'd be wholly clean, except that when I set my sources to woody to get the .debs I'd like, dselect threw in a bunch more and I wasn't inclined to argue :) Anyways, as the subjects says, I'm trying to get X4 running _properly_ with my video card, meaning that I'd like to have proper acceleration of X with my Banshee. I followed the instructions at debianplanet for X4 under 3dfx cards, but it balked at the libglide3 step, and when I searched the packages under dselect I couldn't find it either. But I have installed the proper libglide2 packages, or so it appears. As I understand it, I now have to install the device3dfx packages for libglide2 to run properly. I've downloaded and installed the source .deb, to want compiled kernel sources in /usr/src/linux? I tried out the header-package, ran debian/buildpkg, got a .deb out of that, but it doesn't install properly. So what's the secret? What am I supposed to do? I'm not sure exactly _how_ I'm supposed to compile the .deb myself, so it's possible and likely that I've done something wrong in that regards. I'm willing to compile a kernel, if I have to. I'm willing to reinstall if that's needed. So what am I supposed to do? I'm no pro at this, but I did get 3D acceleration working on my Banshee, so I know it works. Here we go... Glad to see you followed the debainplanet tutorial. Along with cleaning out my old XF3.3.6 stuff, I also removed most (if not all) of my glide/3d stuff. IIFC, you need libglide3 and that's it. Libglide2 and device3dfx are for XF3.3.6. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I'd look at my installed packages, but, that box is at home. Also, you need to recompile a kernel to support DRI and tdfx. I'm running 2.4.test10. The only problem I with my setup was that my default depth for X was set to 32. It should be 16 as that is what the Voodoo Banshee supports for 3D acceleration. Once I changed that, I had 3d support fullscreen and in windows. Email me if you need more help (am I asking for trouble???). Nigel http://www.flipside.org/vol3/apr00/00ap20a.htm Scott

Does Debian have a similar package or some other recommended kernel compiler? Try the gcc272 package.

autorestart pppd

These drivers should be used in conjunction with XFree86 4.0 and Glide 3 with DRI support (provided). These are the drivers that were used in the demonstrations at 3dfx's Linux World Expo booth. They ran games such as Quake3, Unreal Tournament (with OpenGL renderer), Soldier of Fortune and others. Note these drivers will still not work with, Myth2, Quake2 or other Glide and Mesa2x based applications but, the the DGA mouse bug been has been fixed. Also note, these drivers are still in early development. At this time only a single chip on the board is supported, that means that the board will not run at its full speed potential, nor are Full Scene Antialiasing (FSAA) and T-Buffer Cinematic effects available. As development continues these features will be implemented in the drivers. ---END--- Anyone know if they've been updated since??? Scott
