    1) problem description, brief discussion, solution, upgrade information

        Squid is a feature-rich web-proxy with support for various web-related
        protocols.
        The NTLM authentication helper application of Squid is vulnerable to
        a buffer overflow that can be exploited remotely by using a long
        password to execute arbitrary code.
        NTLM authentication is enabled by default in the Squid package that
        is shipped by SUSE LINUX.

        There is no workaround known other then turning off the NTLM
        authentication.

        Please download the update package for your distribution and verify its
        integrity by the methods listed in section 3) of this announcement.
        Then, install the package using the command "rpm -Fhv file.rpm" to apply
        the update.
        Our maintenance customers are being notified individually. The packages
        are being offered to install from the maintenance web.

    2) Pending vulnerabilities in SUSE Distributions and Workarounds:

        - icecast
        The icecast service is vulnerable to a remote denial-of-service
        attack. Update packages will be available soon.

        - sitecopy
        The sitecopy package includes a vulnerable version of the
        neon library (CAN-2004-0179, CAN-2004-0398). Update packages will be
        available soon.

        - cadaver
        The cadaver package includes a vulnerable version of the
        neon library (CAN-2004-0179, CAN-2004-0398). Update packages will be
        available soon.

        - tla
        The tla package includes a vulnerable version of the
        neon library (CAN-2004-0179, CAN-2004-0398). Update packages are
        available on our FTP servers.

        - OpenOffice_org
        The OpenOffice_org package includes a vulnerable version
        of the neon library (CAN-2004-0179, CAN-2004-0398). Update packages
        will be available soon.

        - tripwire
        A format string bug in tripwire can be exploited locally
        to gain root permissions. Update packages will be available soon.

        - postgresql
        A buffer overflow in psqlODBC could be exploited to crash the
        application using it. E.g. a PHP script that uses ODBC to access a
        PostgreSQL database can be utilized to crash the surrounding Apache
        web-server. Other parts of PostgreSQL are not affected.
        Update packages will be available soon.

        - lha
        Minor security fix for a buffer overflow while handling command
        line options. This buffer overflow could be exploited in conjunction
        with other mechanisms to gain higher privileges or access the system
        remotely.

    ______________________________________________________________________________

    3) standard appendix: authenticity verification, additional information

      - Package authenticity verification:

        SUSE update packages are available on many mirror ftp servers all over
        the world. While this service is being considered valuable and important
        to the free and open source software community, many users wish to be
        sure about the origin of the package and its content before installing
        the package. There are two verification methods that can be used
        independently from each other to prove the authenticity of a downloaded
        file or rpm package:
        1) md5sums as provided in the (cryptographically signed) announcement.
        2) using the internal gpg signatures of the rpm package.

        1) execute the command
            md5sum <name-of-the-file.rpm>
           after you downloaded the file from a SUSE ftp server or its mirrors.
           Then, compare the resulting md5sum with the one that is listed in the
           announcement. Since the announcement containing the checksums is
           cryptographically signed (usually using the key security@suse.de),
           the checksums show proof of the authenticity of the package.
           We disrecommend to subscribe to security lists which cause the
           email message containing the announcement to be modified so that
           the signature does not match after transport through the mailing
           list software.
           Downsides: You must be able to verify the authenticity of the
           announcement in the first place. If RPM packages are being rebuilt
           and a new version of a package is published on the ftp server, all
           md5 sums for the files are useless.

        2) rpm package signatures provide an easy way to verify the authenticity
           of an rpm package. Use the command
            rpm -v --checksig <file.rpm>
           to verify the signature of the package, where <file.rpm> is the
           filename of the rpm package that you have downloaded. Of course,
           package authenticity verification can only target an un-installed rpm
           package file.
           Prerequisites:
            a) gpg is installed
            b) The package is signed using a certain key. The public part of this
               key must be installed by the gpg program in the directory
               ~/.gnupg/ under the user's home directory who performs the
               signature verification (usually root). You can import the key
               that is used by SUSE in rpm packages for SUSE Linux by saving
               this announcement to a file ("announcement.txt") and
               running the command (do "su -" to be root):
                gpg --batch; gpg < announcement.txt | gpg --import
               SUSE Linux distributions version 7.1 and thereafter install the
               key "build@suse.de" upon installation or upgrade, provided that
               the package gpg is installed. The file containing the public key
               is placed at the top-level directory of the first CD (pubring.gpg)
               and at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/pubring.gpg-build.suse.de .

      - SUSE runs two security mailing lists to which any interested party may
        subscribe:

        suse-security@suse.com
            - general/linux/SUSE security discussion.
                All SUSE security announcements are sent to this list.
                To subscribe, send an email to
                    <suse-security-subscribe@suse.com>.

        suse-security-announce@suse.com
            - SUSE's announce-only mailing list.
                Only SUSE's security announcements are sent to this list.
                To subscribe, send an email to
                    <suse-security-announce-subscribe@suse.com>.

        For general information or the frequently asked questions (faq)
        send mail to:
