Hello All,
I m using COMPAQ's DL320 server.'ve installed RHL7.2 with
apache1.3.26,php4.2.2,freetds0.53 and Oracle8i.
Php4.2.2 is installed for odbc,oracle,mysql,postgres,apache.
But server has one problem.When m/c get rebooted after some days uptime,it
doesnot bring eth0 up by stating that other host is having same ip.
so,i have to change ip in eth0's ifconfig file.then only it comes up on
network.
so,what cud be the problem???
i think there's something wrong with NIC.bad NIC which doesnot release ip.
or some network drivers problem??
Any suggestions are apprecitated.
Thanks in advance.
Rgds,
kavita
The venue for the meet has been fixed at Ruparel College. A formal
letter has been sent, and today I heard from the college that the
venue will be available for the meeting. I will inform the Romm
number tom. For this meeting LCD projection will not be possible, but
a PC will be provided by the college. Meanwhile get ready for
preparing.
The meeting starts at 3pm at Ruparel College.

Hi Abhay, I'm based in Goa. Could you check out who could offer you
commercial support services via the Mumbai LUG
(linuxers(a)mm.ilug-bom.org.in). You could also probably locate other
resources on ilug-bom.org.in Best wishes, FN

May be other machine on external network(your ISP) has same
IP address as your server. You might have to check with your ISP.

Subject: iDEFENSE Security Advisory 01.28.03: SSH2 Clients Insecurely Store Passwords
Date: 29 Jan 2003 12:51:42 -0500
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
iDEFENSE Security Advisory 01.28.03: SSH2 Clients Insecurely Store
Passwords (AbsoluteTelnet, SecureCRT, Entunnel, SecureFx, and PuTTY)
http://www.idefense.com/advisory/01.28.03.txt
January 28, 2003
I. BACKGROUND
PuTTY is a free implementation of Telnet and SSH for Win32 platforms,
along with an xterm terminal emulator. More information is available at
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/.
SecureCRT provides security for remote access, file transfer, and data
tunneling by combining the open Secure Shell protocol with emulation.
Entunnel provides SSH2 data tunneling (port forwarding) services when
connected to an SSH2 server. The SecureFX client application is an SFTP
and FTP over an encrypted SSH2 client. More information is available at
www.vandyke.com/products.
AbsoluteTelnet is a terminal client program developed for the Microsoft
Windows platform. AbsoluteTelnet supports multiple protocols including
Telnet, SSH1, SSH2, TAPI Dialup and direct COM. More information is
available at http://www.celestialsoftware.net/telnet/index.html.
II. DESCRIPTION
AbsoluteTelnet, SecureCRT, Entunnel, SecureFx, and PuTTY do not properly
scrub memory allowing an attacker with access to memory or a memory dump
to retrieve authentication information.
When connected via SSH2, an attacker can search memory or a memory dump
for logon credentials. Passwords transmitted by PuTTY can be found by
searching for the second occurrence of the string "password:". The user's
password is stored in plaintext shortly after this string. Passwords
transmitted by SecureCRT can be found by searching for the string
"ssh-connection". The logon and password is stored in plaintext on the
respective sides of this keyword. Passwords transmitted by AbsoluteTelnet
can be found by searching for the first occurrence of the string
"Password", that lies in a segment of read/write memory. The logon and
password is stored in plaintext on the respective sides of this keyword.
III. ANALYSIS
An attacker able to ascertain a target user's memory dump will be able to
recover passwords for remote systems. This is of special concern in shared
environments.
IV. DETECTION
iDEFENSE has verified the existence of this vulnerability in the following
versions of the above mentioned clients:
AbsoluteTelnet: latest (2.11)
SecureCRT: latest (4.0.2) and 3.4.6
SecureFX : 2.1.2 and 2.0.4
Entunnel: 1.0.2 and earlier
PuTTY: latest (0.53b)
Earlier versions of the tested clients as well as other clients may be
vulnerable as well.
V. VENDOR RESPONSE(S)/FIX
Current development snapshots of PuTTY are believed to have this problem
fixed. Unfortunately, we are in the middle of heavy code restructuring and
not currently in a position to make a stable release, but the current
snapshots should be good enough for anyone for whom this is a problem.
- ---------------
The SSH password vulnerability discovered by iDEFENSE has been found to
exist in all versions of AbsoluteTelnet prior to (and including) version
2.11.
Version 2.12, which Celestial Software will make available as a FREE
update to ALL existing users, fixes the problem by keeping password memory
"scrubbed" and free of plaintext copies of the password.
Version 2.12 is currently in beta testing pending the beta test group's
acceptance of the changes it contains. Upon release, it will be available
for download at the Celestial Software website:
http://www.celestialsoftware.net/telnet
For a sneak peak at the 2.12 beta, go here:

Thanks to iDEFENSE for bringing this to my attention and for allowing
adequate time to make corrections! In particular, thanks to David Endler
for staying on top of this!
- ---------------
VanDyke Software recognizes the efforts of iDEFENSE in discovering this
security issue and commends iDEFENSE for the responsible manner in which
the security issue was made known so as to allow time for revisions to be
made before the information was released to the public.
The vulnerability reported by iDEFENSE exists in the following versions of
VanDyke Software client applications:
SecureCRT: 4.0.2 and 3.4.7
SecureFX : 2.1.2 and 2.0.4
Entunnel: 1.0.2 and earlier
Earlier versions of these client applications are vulnerable as well.
VanDyke encourages all users whose licenses were purchased prior to June
1, 2000 to consider upgrading to the current version(s) of their licensed
applications.
Vulnerability fix downloads are available:
SecureCRT 4.0.3 - http://www.vandyke.com/download/securecrt/index.html
SecureCRT 3.4.8 -
http://www.vandyke.com/download/securecrt/3.4/index.html
