To verify the sums, use the text of this advisory as input to
csum, md5sum, or sha1sum. For example:

csum -h SHA1 -i Advisory.asc
md5sum -c Advisory.asc
sha1sum -c Advisory.asc

These sums should match exactly. The PGP signatures in the tar
file and on this advisory can also be used to verify the
integrity of the fixes. If the sums or signatures cannot be
confirmed, contact IBM AIX Security at
security-alert@austin.ibm.com and describe the discrepancy.

C. INTERIM FIX INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT: If possible, it is recommended that a mksysb backup
of the system be created. Verify it is both bootable and
readable before proceeding.

Interim fixes have had limited functional and regression
testing but not the full regression testing that takes place
for Service Packs; thus, IBM does not warrant the fully
correct functionality of an interim fix.

Interim fix management documentation can be found at:

http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/set2/sas/f/aix.efixmgmt/home.html

To preview an interim fix installation:

emgr -e ipkg_name -p # where ipkg_name is the name of the
# interim fix package being previewed.

To install an interim fix package:

emgr -e ipkg_name -X # where ipkg_name is the name of the
# interim fix package being installed.

IV. WORKAROUNDS

There are no workarounds.

To verify the sums, use the text of this advisory as input to
csum, md5sum, or sha1sum. For example:

csum -h SHA1 -i Advisory.asc
md5sum -c Advisory.asc
sha1sum -c Advisory.asc

These sums should match exactly. The PGP signatures in the tar
file and on this advisory can also be used to verify the
integrity of the fixes. If the sums or signatures cannot be
confirmed, contact IBM AIX Security at
security-alert@austin.ibm.com and describe the discrepancy.

C. INTERIM FIX INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT: If possible, it is recommended that a mksysb backup
of the system be created. Verify it is both bootable and
readable before proceeding.

Interim fixes have had limited functional and regression
testing but not the full regression testing that takes place
for Service Packs; thus, IBM does not warrant the fully
correct functionality of an interim fix.

Interim fix management documentation can be found at:

http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/set2/sas/f/aix.efixmgmt/home.html

To preview an interim fix installation:

emgr -e ipkg_name -p # where ipkg_name is the name of the
# interim fix package being previewed.

To install an interim fix package:

emgr -e ipkg_name -X # where ipkg_name is the name of the
# interim fix package being installed.

IV. WORKAROUNDS

There are no workarounds.

===============================================================================
DETAILED INFORMATION

I. DESCRIPTION

There are multiple vulnerabilities in the AIX X server. Please
refer to the following links for more information:

http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2008-January/031918.html
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-6427

IBM SECURITY ADVISORY

First Issued: Thu Feb 21 10:43:47 CST 2008
===============================================================================
VULNERABILITY SUMMARY

VULNERABILITY: IBM Pegasus CIM Server for Director on AIX vulnerabilities.

PLATFORMS: AIX 5.2, 5.3, 6.1

SOLUTION: Apply the fix or workaround as described below.

THREAT: A remote attacker may run arbitrary code with root privileges,
and/or cause a Denial of Service (DoS) attack.

CERT VU Number: n/a
CVE Number: CVE-2008-0003, CVE-2008-0495
===============================================================================
DETAILED INFORMATION

I. OVERVIEW

IBM Pegasus CIM Server for Director provides common information model
(CIM) object management. This is a framework supporting Web-Based
Enterprise Management (WBEM) services. WBEM is a platform and resource
independent standard from the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF).
WBEM defines a CIM, and communication protocol for resource monitoring
and control.

Two vulnerabilities have been addressed in the IBM Pegasus CIM Server
for Director. The first is a stack buffer overflow flaw found in the PAM
authentication code in the CIM management server. The second is a Denial
of Service (DoS) vulnerability against the CIM service daemon itself.

II. DESCRIPTION

A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the IBM Pegasus CIM
Server for Director in which an unauthenticated remote user could trigger
this flaw and potentially execute arbitrary code with root privileges
(CVE-2008-0003). In addition a denial-of-service (DoS) issue exists in
the IBM Pegasus CIM Server for Director.

III. IMPACT

The successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities allows a
non-privileged remote user to execute code with root privileges
and/or cause a denial of service against the CIM server.

IV. PLATFORM VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT

To determine if your system is vulnerable, run the following commands:

lslpp -L sysmgt.pegasus.cimserver.rte

The following fileset levels are vulnerable for all supported versions
of AIX:

AIX Fileset Fileset Levels
—————————————————————-
sysmgt.pegasus.cimserver.rte 2.5.1.20
2.5.1.21
2.5.1.30

sysmgt.pegasus.cimserver.rte 2.6.1.0
2.6.1.1

V. SOLUTIONS

A. Installable images including these fixes for AIX 5.3 and AIX 6.1 will
be available for IBM Pegasus CIM Server on the IBM Director Download
website approximately in April 2008. These images will install
fileset ’sysmgt.cimserver.pegasus.rte’ level 2.6.1.20.

B. INTERIM FIXES

Interim Fixes are available. The fixes can be downloaded in two ways:

1. Via HTTP or Download Director from the IBM Director Web Download

cd pegasus_ifix

IMPORTANT: If possible, it is recommended that a mksysb backup
of the system be created. Verify it is both bootable and
readable before proceeding.

These interim fixes have not been fully regression tested;
thus, IBM does not warrant the fully correct functionality of
the interim fix.
