Proposed Fedora Legacy Update Advisory for this issue. none

Description Marc Deslauriers 2005-05-23 14:11:36 UTC
It turns out that this is a potential Remote DoS bug resulting from not
checking a pointer for non-NULL before passing it to strncmp which
results in a crash. This can be triggered by a remote client sending an
SLP message with an empty body. (CAN-2005-1262)

A buffer overflow has been found in Gaim.  It is possible for a remote attacker
to send a message containing a very long URL to overflow a buffer.  This attack
is mitigated by the fact that not all the messaging protocols allow messages
long enough to overflow this particular buffer. (CAN-2005-1261)

QA w/ rpm-build-compare.sh:
 - source integrity verified
 - spec file changes minimal (but see below)
 - only language patches for the desktop icon, OK
 
I noticed that FC2 package doesn't have the perl build hack (maybe it
doesn't need it?) while the others do, and that perl integrationw as turned
on in RHL9 while previously it was turned off (but I recall it was turned
off because in the previous legacy package because it didn't work because of
the hack, so it should be OK).
 
I think the FC2 perl build hack, if it's even needed, can be added when
rebuilding, so..

Comment 3 Jeff MacDonald 2005-06-03 00:57:53 UTC
I'd like to know when these rpms are going to be published.

Comment 4 Pekka Savola 2005-06-03 05:30:51 UTC
Currently they're waiting to be built for updates-testing.  Before that happens,
there isn't much that can be done.  After that is done, the packages will need
to be VERIFYed (basically just simple testing that the program still works fine)
and then they can be released.

Comment 5 Marc Deslauriers 2005-06-04 19:44:09 UTC
Packages were pushed to updates-testing.

Comment 7 Marc Deslauriers 2005-07-28 23:27:15 UTC
We need to update to 1.3.1:

Description of problem:
05.24.26 CVE: CAN-2005-1269
Platform: Cross Platform
Title: Gaim Yahoo! Protocol Support File Download Denial of Service
Description: Gaim is an instant messaging client that supports
numerous protocols. Gaim is affected by a denial of service
vulnerability during the download of a file using the Yahoo! protocol.
This issue can allow remote attackers to cause an affected client to
fail. Gaim versions prior to 1.3.1 are reportedly affected by this
vulnerability.
Ref: http://gaim.sourceforge.net/security/index.php?id=18 

05.24.27 CVE: CAN-2005-1934
Platform: Cross Platform
Title: Gaim MSN Protocol Denial of Service
Description: Gaim is an instant messaging client. It is vulnerable to
a denial of service issue when handling malformed messages using the
MSN protocol. Gaim versions prior to 1.3.1 are not vulnerable.
Ref: http://gaim.sourceforge.net/security/index.php?id=19

*** Bug 160834 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 9 Marc Deslauriers 2005-08-17 00:52:54 UTC
Now we need to update to 1.5.0

Comment 10 David Eisenstein 2005-09-05 03:56:03 UTC
The three new vulnerabilities Marc is referring to in comment #9,
all fixed in version 1.5.0:

  * CAN-2005-2102 - AIM/ICQ non-UTF-8 filename crash
    "Invalid filenames can cause a crash on some systems.
    A remote user could cause Gaim to crash on some systems by sending
    the Gaim user a file whose filename contains certain invalid
    characters. It is unknown what combination of systems are affected,
    but it is suspected that Windows users and systems with older
    versions of GTK+ are especially susceptible."
        -- <http://gaim.sourceforge.net/security/index.php?id=21>

  * CAN-2005-2103 - AIM/ICQ away message buffer overflow
    "A remote AIM or ICQ user can cause a buffer overflow in Gaim by
    setting an away message containing many AIM substitution strings
    (such as %t or %n)."
        -- <http://gaim.sourceforge.net/security/index.php?id=22>

  * CAN-2005-2370 - Gadu-Gadu memory alignment bug
    "A memory alignment bug in the Gadu-Gadu protocol plugin can result
    in a buffer overflow.  There was a memory alignment bug in the
    library Gaim uses to access the Gadu-Gadu network. This bug can not
    be exploited on x86 architectures. This bug was recently fixed in the
    libgadu library, but also needed to be fixed in Gaim because Gaim
    includes a copy of the libgadu library."
        -- <http://gaim.sourceforge.net/security/index.php?id=20>


Comment 11 David Eisenstein 2005-09-05 04:16:36 UTC
I am willing to build .src.rpm packages for gaim-1.5.0 for all four releases.
However, I only have dialup access to the Internet, and it would be a pain to
download all four .src.rpm's currently in updates-testing (over 20.4 mega-
bytes) when all I need from them would be the current .spec files and/or any
patches that might be with them.

Does anyone have those .spec files (& appropriate patches) handy?  If so, 
could you email them to me, being careful to label which goes with which if
necessary?

Or post them somewhere I can download them easily?

Thanks in advance!   -David

Comment 12 John Dalbec 2005-09-08 12:39:35 UTC
FYI:

05.32.16 CVE: CAN-2005-2103, CAN-2005-2102
Platform: Cross Platform
Title: Gaim Protocols Multiple Vulnerabilities
Description: Gaim is an instant messaging client. It is vulnerable to
multiple issues affecting the AIM and ICQ protocols, such as buffer
overflow and denial of service. Gaim versions 1.3.1 and ealier are
vulnerable.

Comment 13 David Eisenstein 2005-09-09 03:04:24 UTC
Regarding comment 11 -- nevermind.  I am working on a FC1 version of gaim-1.5.0
(got sources from FC3 version, making a couple small changes to the spec-file
turning off FC3+ features.)

I will post a link to a FC1 .src.rpm in the next day or so for QA.  Perhaps 
someone who is more familiar with RH73, RH9 and FC2 will know what things need
tweaking to make make workable .src.rpm's for those O/S versions?

Enclosed for your review, gaim-1.5.0-FC1-build-files.tar.gz includes the spec
file and all of the patches needed to build a version of gaim-1.5.0 for FC1;
maybe other distro's as well.  It includes everything but the
gaim-1.5.0.tar.bz2 source tarball, which can be retrieved from RedHat's FC3
.src.rpm or from the upstream repository at gaim.sourceforge.net.

 22925 2005-09-08 12:13:17 gaim-1.5.0-FC1/other/gaim-1.5.0-1.fc1.1.legacy.spec

Have been running a binary package based on this.  It seems to work well.

(Please note that what I built and am currently running omits Red Hat's
PIE patch (is using the spec file in the "other/" directory, not "gaim.spec"),
because I wanted to run gaim under a debugger.	GDB refuses to run an exec-
utable that is also a shared object file.  Also note that I decided to
include a couple things in the doc directory that Red Hat decided not to --
The poem "The Penguin" is cute!)  :-)

If somebody can help me with some webspace, I can also upload an .src.rpm
file for your review.

Hope this helps.

Here is an updated Fedora Core 1 gaim package to QA:

943907fbd013a565e3634b69a1542b2763b13dc7  gaim-1.5.0-1.fc1.2.legacy.src.rpm

http://www.fedoralegacy.org/contrib/gaim/gaim-1.5.0-1.fc1.2.legacy.src.rpm

Please note that I changed the spec-file to include a couple things in the 
doc directory that Red Hat decided not to -- The poem "The Penguin" is cute!
:-)  Also the file "COPYRIGHT" so the list of gaim contributors would be
included with the binaries and not just the sources.  Also not that this gaim
includes Red Hat's gaim-1.3.1-PIE.patch.  I don't know why they include that
patch, but they do.  Maybe it's for security reasons.

Have been using this version of Gaim without incident since 8-Sep-2005.
Seems to work well.  If anyone wants test binaries to look at, I can post
them too.  Let me know.

Please QA and post your results.  Thanks.

Comment 17 Pekka Savola 2005-09-22 06:13:19 UTC
There were some minor changes to the desktop file, but nothing big.  I could
give FC1 version a publish, but I'd prefer to do it for all the arches at the
same time.

As for PIE, it's not (directly) security related, so no need to add those
patches on arches which don't already have it.  See:

Comment 19 Pekka Savola 2006-01-21 08:36:10 UTC
I took a look at these; RHL9 and FC2 looked good.

I'd like to get new packages incorporating the CVS fixes etc. (similar
methodology as for FC2) for FC1 as well, so that the updates would be the same
"across the board".

RHL73 looked good, but .spec file wasn't "upgraded" based on FC4 similar to the
others.  Cursorily looking, the changes looked good though.  Was there a
particular reason not to bump the spec file (lack of RHL73 integration, maybe..) ?

Comment 20 Marc Deslauriers 2006-01-21 13:51:47 UTC
RHL 7.3 is substantially different. The desktop links are not in the same place,
we can't ship the tray icon plugin, etc. The changes to the spec file would be
substantial, so we're better off just using the old one.

I'll make another fc1 package.

I performed QA on the following:

a51c47a7e69e2ae0de301b5aea04a078a34bd494  gaim-1.5.0-0.73.1.legacy.i386.rpm
99901a3c55dc899071cd0373c71ce18b694e38d0  gaim-1.5.0-0.90.1.legacy.i386.rpm
fda20f97bf8c2ce8a5075c579bcbf6c3e3a66e81  gaim-1.5.0-1.fc1.1.legacy.i386.rpm
d8c6b98a019633a8a2debd6e2a86daccae6cdeda  gaim-1.5.0-1.fc2.1.legacy.i386.rpm

Upgraded fine.  Logged into AIM, tested by talking to a couple of bots.

Was able to log into ICQ, MSN and Yahoo.

VERIFY QA on FC1 version of gaim.

fda20f97bf8c2ce8a5075c579bcbf6c3e3a66e81  gaim-1.5.0-1.fc1.1.legacy.i386.rpm

  * SHA1sums match.
  * Properly signed by the Fedora Legacy key.
  * Installed fine; except -- I had already installed gaim-1.5.0-1.fc1 
    packages from ones that I had built and submitted for QA awhile back.
    I had to manually uninstall the other version of gaim to install the
    one in updates-testing.  The FC1 packages should have been named
    "gaim-1.5.0-1.fc1.3.legacy" for upward-compatibility.
  * This version of gaim, with the (upstream?) CVS changes included, works
    fine and has worked well ever since I installed it, a week or two ago.

GRIPE:  The fact that I did any work at all on this version of gaim, 
creating packages that address the security vulnerabilities this bug ticket
is supposed to address, has been obliterated in the changelog for the
RPM's that Marc Deslaurier submitted, which goes against Fedora Legacy
policy and good etiquette.  It is too late at this juncture to think about
changing the FC1 packages to reflect my work on this, poor as it may have
been; but I suppose that it doesn't matter, as that work was discarded
anyway.

We can do better than this.

Comment 28 Marc Deslauriers 2006-02-20 12:54:42 UTC
I am sorry David. I simply rebuilt the .src.rpm directly from upstream. I did
not intend to offend you by not using your updated package. :(

Comment 29 Pekka Savola 2006-02-20 13:00:27 UTC
I think one of the most important thinks FL should be focusing on is common
methodology for all the releases, i.e., unless there are good reasons for
otherwise, all the releases should be updated in a similar manner.  Also the
amount of non-required changes should be minimized.

The practical problem right now is that unless folks have set up local mach/mock
environments, have fast net access, etc., they can't really do propose packages
in a useful manner.


Comment 30 David Eisenstein 2006-02-21 06:39:11 UTC
Thank you, Marc.  Not necessary to use the package I made, especially if there
was a much better one out there.  But it is important to increment version 
numbers and retain changelog entries, even if nothing remains of the work but
those changelog entries.

Comment 31 David Eisenstein 2006-02-24 09:00:26 UTC
Created attachment 125165 [details]
Proposed Fedora Legacy Update Advisory for this issue.

Here is a proposed update advisory for this issue, so we can release these
packages to updates.   

Hope this helps.
