                          SGI Security Advisory 
 
Title    : xfsdump creates files insecurely 
Number   : 20030404-01-P 
Date     : April 10, 2003 
Reference: CVE CAN-2003-0173 
Reference: SGI BUG 885222 
Fixed in : IRIX 6.5.20 (when available) or patches 5059 and 5060 
______________________________________________________________________________ 
 
- ----------------------- 
- --- Issue Specifics --- 
- ----------------------- 
 
It's been reported that xfsdump creates quota information files insecurely, 
possibly leading to a root exploit by a local user. 
 
See: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2003-0173 
 
SGI has investigated the issue and recommends the following steps for  
neutralizing the exposure.  It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that these measures be 
implemented on ALL vulnerable SGI systems.  
 
These issues have been corrected with patches and in future releases of 
IRIX. 
 
 
- -------------- 
- --- Impact --- 
- -------------- 
 
The xfsdump binary is installed by default on IRIX 6.5 systems as part of 
eoe.sw.base.   
 
To determine the version of IRIX you are running, execute the following 
command:  
 
  # /bin/uname -R 
   
That will return a result similar to the following: 
 
  # 6.5 6.5.16f 
   
The first number ("6.5") is the release name, the second ("6.5.16f" in this 
case) is the extended release name.  The extended release name is the 
"version" we refer to throughout this document.   
 
 
- ---------------------------- 
- --- Temporary Workaround --- 
- ---------------------------- 
 
There is no effective workaround available for these problems if you need to 
use xfsdump on xfs filesystems with quotas.  SGI recommends either upgrading 
to IRIX 6.5.20 (when available), or installing the appropriate patch from 
the listing below. 
 
 
- ---------------- 
- --- Solution --- 
- ---------------- 
 
SGI has provided a series of patches for these vulnerabilities. Our 
recommendation is to upgrade to IRIX 6.5.20 (when available), or install the 
appropriate patch.

Comment 1 solar (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-09-21 23:06:12 UTC
Can anybody confirm or debunk this one, As far as I can tell were not SGI and this report makes no reference to anything other than SGI's xfsdump being vuln.

currently sys-fs/xfsdump-2.2.4-r1 is what we have in portage.
Comment 2 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2004-02-10 22:48:13 UTC
i just added xfsprogs-2.6.3 and xfsdump-2.2.16 to portage to unstable
Comment 3 Aida Escriva-Sammer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-02-20 16:01:42 UTC
xfsdump 2.2.16 appears to have the appropriate fix - can we get SpanKY's ebuild tested and marked stable on the various archs? 

*added x86, ppc, sparc, mips, amd64, ia64
Comment 4 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2004-02-20 19:36:48 UTC
x86 stable now
Comment 5 Jason Wever (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-02-20 19:49:48 UTC
most of us just got xfs support in 2.4.25 or 2.6.x and probably don't even have xfsprogs keyworded, so this might be a bit (or at least for sparc).
Comment 6 Jason Wever (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-02-20 20:05:16 UTC
xfsdump-2.2.16 dies on sparc with the following;

Comment 7 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2004-02-20 20:11:11 UTC
everyone on the cc list has ~arch in the KEYWORDS

how it got there, i dunno, but if it shouldnt be there, one option is to just remove your respective arch from all the versions of xfsdump
Comment 8 David Holm (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-02-21 02:29:22 UTC
XFS has been supported on ppc since ppc-sources-dev-2.4.22 iirc. Darkspecter tests it regulary. So it is known to work on ppc at least.
Comment 9 Jason Wever (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-02-21 14:47:02 UTC
I adjusted the xfsdump-2.2.16 ebuild so it can build on sparc64.

However, it appears at this time that xfsdump won't work due to ioctl issues when using a 64 bit kernel and a 32 but userland, http://oss.sgi.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=298 talks more about this.

So for now I've masked this on sparc.  It's possible xfsdump may work on sparc32, but to my knowledge, no one has tried to build xfs support in a kernel, let alone made one and tested xfsprogs on sparc32.  I will attempt it when I return home in the beginning of March (unless someone beats me to it).
Comment 10 Keith M Wesolowski (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-02-21 15:47:03 UTC
xfs builds and insmods on 2.6.3 for sparc32.  I have no idea whether it works but there's no good reason it shouldn't.
Comment 11 Aron Griffis (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-02-26 12:37:24 UTC
all set on alpha and ia64, removing from list
Comment 12 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2004-02-26 18:03:05 UTC
mips, amd64 ?
Comment 13 Aida Escriva-Sammer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-03-24 06:59:19 UTC
Would someone test 2.2.16 on mips and amd64? I would like to get this year old bug closed. 


*amd64@gentoo.org removed by mistake & re-added
Comment 14 Jon Portnoy (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-03-24 07:05:23 UTC
Done. Removing amd64 from CC
Comment 15 Joshua Kinard gentoo-dev 2004-03-24 18:58:08 UTC
I just tried on mips, but xfsprogs-2.6.3 fails to build on mips.  PPC seems to have the same bug issue, see Bug #42181.
Comment 16 Kurt Lieber (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-03-29 23:54:03 UTC
all supported arches have marked bug as stable.  closing.
Comment 17 Joshua Kinard gentoo-dev 2004-11-07 15:31:22 UTC
mips stable long ago.
