We have it masked since yesterday, after Debian, suse, fedora, et. al all did the same: commit 6424767d42b1853c6e24b1cf0734d5a51d0e2e4d Author: Sam James <sam@gentoo.org> Date: Thu Mar 28 22:00:41 2024 +0000 profiles: mask >=app-arch/xz-utils-5.6.0 A serious bug is being investigated. Please downgrade ASAP until we have a fix. Signed-off-by: Sam James <sam@gentoo.org>
As a summary so far: * We had the (nominally) vulnerable versions in Gentoo. They were masked last night. * The posted injection script appears to not fire on Gentoo as it looks for .deb and .rpm specific files/environment variables in the build environment, but it's possible (I haven't yet verified) tht other versions had a different set of criteria. * In Gentoo, we don't patch net-misc/openssh with systemd-notify support which means liblzma, at least in the normal case, doesn't get loaded into the sshd process. * The backdoor which is injected by the script during the build process MAY OR MAY NOT only work on sshd, it's unclear (people report it checks argv[0] but no in-depth analysis has been done yet or at least shared publicly; it's possible it activates on other binaries).
After migrating to profile 23.0 last week, when updating @world, my terminal lit up with lzma flag in green on a like a dozen packages. I don't want to point fingers but I think it's worth checking why that was done and who did it, because my system worked without lzma in things like kmod for years. And this is especially bitter because I read that profile 23.0 is supposed to be "enhanced in security". I don't see how linking liblzma into everything enhances security.

Well, if we really want to get into that, we can talk about how BIND_NOW sort of made things interesting for the exploit in question. But let's try to keep this bug focused on facts please. There's already a lot of confusino out there.
(That said, I totally appreciate your point, I agree it's very unfortunate timing, I just don't think it was malicious at all, and I didn't oppose the change.)
Since the malicious party appears to be the upstream developer with the signing key, are we assuming any changes made by them to the (unmasked) previous releases will conflict with the manifest? Assuming those hypothetical malicious changes were not already present when the manifest was generated, of course.
(In reply to revamps.warbler-0w from comment #7) > Since the malicious party appears to be the upstream developer with the > signing key, are we assuming any changes made by them to the (unmasked) > previous releases will conflict with the manifest? Yes, you can safely assume this. I've also seen no evidence of tarballs being modified post-upload. I am still considering whether we should bring back the last release signed by Lasse Collin, rather than Jia Tan, to be safe. > Assuming those > hypothetical malicious changes were not already present when the manifest > was generated, of course. Yeah, this is the big challenge.
A note about the whiteboard status: we currently believe, as per sam's summary, that the likelyhood of an impact on Gentoo is small, and that would lead to something like an A4 severity level. However, with the backdoor not fully analyzed yet we want to take into account that the impact may be larger, and thus opt for a A0 severity, assuming a (currently unclear) worst case scenario where the backdoor could still be included and may act with root privileges. This severity also matches with the overall news about this vulnerability.
Since the exact scope of this is not 100% clear yet, two points we might want to consider: 1) The 'modules-compress' flag on gentoo-kernel(-bin) and external kernel modules uses xz-utils for compression. Would it be a good idea for users to recompile gentoo-kernel(-bin) after downgrading xz-utils if they have this flag enabled? Just to be on the safe side, or is this overkill? 2) (stable masked) generic-initramfs/generic-uki on gentoo-kernel(-bin) includes files from xz-utils. Do we want to rebuild these with an older version of xz-utils?

This seems to me to be the only responsible option, pending a thorough review, considering what I’ve seen about them pushing distros to update to the compromised version.

fyi, stage3-amd64-hardened-systemd-20240324T164906Z.tar.xz comes with the affected xz-utils version

I have done initial checks of 5.4..5.6 but not enough. 5.2..5.4 is harder. But yes, if we can't trust them, we can't trust them..

+1 to going back to a release with a signature that we can trust more, even if not by much. At least provided it's not too painful to do so. Additionally it might be prudent to consider LD_BIND_NOT=1 in the default environment, since from my understanding it only affects performance but not compatibility (other than with the backdoor). Especially on systems that have not yet been downgraded and (soft-)rebooted. Additionally do we *really* need +extra-filters IUSE on xz-utils? Those BCJ coders in particular have been making me uncomfortable me for years ever since I learned about them. Finally, it's probably a good idea to consider patching libarchive with https://github.com/libarchive/libarchive/commit/6110e9c82d8ba830c3440f36b990483ceaaea52c ASAP, since it should be addressing a suspect change by the same persona. I'm sure this APT will keep on giving us more gifts, so happy holidays, I guess. ;)

This includes all 700 commits made after they merged a pull request in Jan 7 2023, at which point they appear to have already had direct push access, which would have also let them push commits with forged authors. Probably a number of other commits before that point as well. Reverting the backdoored version to a previous version is not sufficient to know that Jia Tan has not hidden other backdoors in it. Version 5.4.5 still contains the majority of those commits. Commits by them such as 18d7facd3802b55c287581405c4d49c98708c136 and ae5c07b22a6b3766b84f409f1b6b5c100469068a show that they were deep into analyzing the security of xz. They were well placed to insert a buffer overflow that could allow eg, a targeted xz file to cause arbitrary code execution. The impact of such a security hole could be much more stealthy and bad than the known backdoor since it would allow chaining xz with other unrelated software releases on an ongoing basis. The package should be reverted to a version before their involvement, which started with commit 6468f7e41a8e9c611e4ba8d34e2175c5dacdbeb4. Or their early commits vetted and revert to a later point, but any arbitrary commit by a known bad and malicious actor almost certainly has less value than the risk that a subtle change go unnoticed. I'd suggest reverting to 5.3.1. Bearing in mind that there were security fixes after that point for ZDI-CAN-16587 that would need to be reapplied. </QUOTE>
(In reply to Sébastien P. from comment #23) The ebuild verifies it using Lasse Collin's key with USE=verify-sig, even.
(In reply to Jeffrey Walton from comment #24) 5.3.1 would not be suitable to downgrade to, as it was a development release. xz-utils does odd/even for dev/stable. It would have to be 5.2.x.
(In reply to Sam James from comment #25) > (In reply to Sébastien P. from comment #23) > > The ebuild verifies it using Lasse Collin's key with USE=verify-sig, even. Ok. About verify-sig, I saw that Jia Tan one is still on portage: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/sec-keys/openpgp-keys-jiatan It should be removed/masked since it can not be trusted anymore.
Only masked packages depend on this key anyway: # grep -r openpgp-keys-jiatan /usr/portage/**/*.ebuild /usr/portage/app-arch/xz-utils/xz-utils-5.4.6-r1.ebuild: BDEPEND+=" verify-sig? ( sec-keys/openpgp-keys-jiatan )" /usr/portage/app-arch/xz-utils/xz-utils-5.6.1.ebuild: BDEPEND+=" verify-sig? ( sec-keys/openpgp-keys-jiatan )" /usr/portage/app-arch/xz-utils/xz-utils-9999.ebuild: BDEPEND+=" verify-sig? ( sec-keys/openpgp-keys-jiatan )"
Yeah, that's why I haven't been in a hurry to do anything about it there, but I should add it to the mask at least.

It looks like more analysis has revealed this is a RCE with the payload in the modulus of a public key: "The payload is extracted from the N value (the public key) passed to RSA_public_decrypt, checked against a simple fingerprint, and decrypted with a fixed ChaCha20 key before the Ed448 signature verification..." Also see <https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2024/03/30/36>.
Is there information currently on the scope of the backdoor? We know it attacked sshd as that was how it was discovered, but would this have any impact on something like zstd (another [de]compression program) which can be complied with USE +lzma? The linux kernel itself with CONFIG_XZ_DEC?

The linux kernel itself with CONFIG_XZ_DEC? Someone decrypted the strings in the payload (https://gist.github.com/q3k/af3d93b6a1f399de28fe194add452d01) only mentions sshd.

I got a similar confusion with Debian: https://packages.debian.org/sid/xz-utils => 5.6.1+really5.4.5-1 First, I saw 5.6.1 and did not pay attention to the next part… I also saw that Alpine stay with 5.6.1 and just switch from release to git archives: https://git.alpinelinux.org/aports/commit/main/xz/APKBUILD?id=982d2c6bcbbb579e85bb27c40be84072ca0b1fd9 Like ou say: “there's enough confusion out there anyway” :). In that case, it is important to look at security alert of your distro. Because each one can handle it in different ways.
I'm maintaining https://gist.github.com/thesamesam/223949d5a074ebc3dce9ee78baad9e27 as a FAQ.
(In reply to Spencer from comment #32) > Is there information currently on the scope of the backdoor? It is a RCE (remote code execution) backdoor, where sshd is used as the first step: It listens for connections, and when so patched, invokes the malignant liblzma, which in turn executes a stage 2 that finally executes the payload which is provided to sshd in a part of the encrypted public key given to it as the credential (wich doesn't need to be authentic to be harmful). > would this have any impact on something like zstd (another > [de]compression program) which can be complied with USE +lzma? > The linux kernel itself with CONFIG_XZ_DEC? sshd and indeed liblzma was apparently chosen deliberately for its convenience as a remove code execution attack vector, particularly as RedHat and others were friendly enough to patch them together (something to look into, eventually -- was this prepared a long time ago? When and by whom were such patches pushed?), but -- as far as we know yet -- there is no suggestion that authentication bypass was attempted or even intended, nor that archives other than the encrypted public keys were supposed to be used. If you can run a payload by simply sending a crafted public key, there is no need for authentication bypass... Where direct ssh access from the internet is not required, users should restrict sshd to accept connections only from the local network (and connect to it from the internet using wireshark, if needed).
(In reply to Alexander Wessel from comment #38) > wireshark WireGUARD, of course. I do that all the time. :/
I'll correct the above statement to __always__ VPN into any remote access daemon which has root and probably even just full local user rights. Exposing such things directly to the internet is asking for the next 0-day to hit you even if it's a once or twice per century kind of bug. WireGuard is quite simple to set up and costs nothing, so just use it. And best not to use SSH as the poor man's VPN here. ;)
BTW, its not all hardware. its only x86_64. The way it works is, the build system is broken is some archives. The backdoor is not in the code. Its in some object files left there. That get included in the final library, but are not built on said system. The are artifacts that remain in the archive. And they are x86_64 only. The backdoor is injected by a single test at the end of configure, which in turn use that binary test to uncompress some code and execute it, which in turn compromise the existing build system to inject the another code into the resulting library binary. So it has 2 parts. The one that injects it, and the one that gets injected. Second one at least is x86_64 only. And the tests in configure system also point to x86_64 only.
https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2024/03/29/4/1 This is part of what configure does. The modifications on configure already did before. The injection part. https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2024/03/29/4/2 This is the actual objected injected.

(In reply to revamps.warbler-0w from comment #17) > Github has disabled the XZ repository entirely as of 1:29 AM UTC Yes, and should remain that way for a very long time or indefinitely. The current version of xz that's not "compromised" need to be frozen and excluded from receiving updates. Happy threat hunting.
Please keep general commentary out of the bug - those are better placed on forums, mailing lists, IRC, etc. There's a lot of people CC'd to this for important developments.

I worked with him on these releases and have reproduced his tarball with only minor differences in dates. I encourage people to do the same: using the 'mydist' target in the Makefile is recommended to minimise differences. In future, I may package libtool-vanilla like we do for autoconf-vanilla and automake-vanilla to make comparisons easier.

Fixed releases are out and GLSA updated. I think we're all done. Lasse has updated the website, refreshed https://tukaani.org/xz-backdoor/, and published 1.0 of the review notes at https://tukaani.org/xz-backdoor/review.html.
