Topic: Vulnerability in suidperl (sperl)
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The CERT Coordination Center has received reports of a buffer overflow
condition in suidperl built from Perl 4.n and Perl 5.n distributions on UNIX
systems. By calling this program with appropriately crafted parameters,
unauthorized local users can execute arbitrary commands as root. This
vulnerability is being actively exploited.
The CERT/CC team recommends installing a vendor patch if one is available (see
Section III.B). Until you can do so, we recommend disabling suidperl (Section
III.A). Two other alternatives are to install suidperl or sperl from version
5.003 source code along with the patch provided in Appendix B of this
advisory (see also Section III.C), or upgrade to Perl version 5.004 (Section
III.D). Note that Perl4 is no longer supported.
We will update this advisory as we receive additional information.
Please check our advisory files regularly for updates that relate to your site.
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I. Description
On some systems, setuid and setgid scripts (scripts written in the C
shell, Bourne shell, or Perl, for example, with the set user or group ID
permissions enabled) are insecure due to a race condition in the
kernel. For those systems, Perl versions 4 and 5 attempt to work around
this vulnerability with a special program named suidperl, also known as
sperl. This program attempts to emulate the set-user-ID and set-group-ID
features of the kernel.
There is a buffer overflow condition in suidperl built from Perl 4.n and
Perl 5.n distributions earlier than version 5.004. If this program is
called with appropriately crafted parameters, an attacker can execute
arbitrary commands as root. This vulnerability is being actively
exploited.
II. Impact
Users executing Perl scripts with the setuid bit set can execute
arbitrary commands with the effective uid of the owner of the Perl
script. Attackers can execute commands as root.
III. Solution
Use the command in Section A to help you determine if your system is
vulnerable and, if it is, to (optionally) disable the suidperl and sperl
programs (see Section A). If you find that your system is vulnerable,
replace the suidperl and sperl programs with new versions.
Section B describes how to do that if your site uses versions of suidperl
and sperl that are provided as part of a vendor-supplied distribution.
Sites that installed suidperl and sperl programs themselves from the Perl
source distribution should patch the distribution as described in Section
C or upgrade to version 5.004 as described in Section D. Note that Perl4
is no longer supported.
A. Determine if your system is vulnerable and disable vulnerable programs
To determine if a system is vulnerable to this problem and to disable
the programs that are believed to be vulnerable, use the following
find command or a variant. Consult your local system documentation to
determine how to tailor the find program on your system.
After you have run this command on all your systems, they will no
longer be vulnerable. Note that after disabling the suidperl and sperl
programs, they will no longer be able to emulate the set-user-ID and
set-group-ID features of the kernel.
You will need to run the find command on each system you maintain
because the command examines files on the local disk only. Substitute
the names of your local file systems for FILE_SYSTEM_NAMES in the
example. Example local file system names are /, /usr, and /var.
You must do this as root.
Note that this is one long command, though we have separated
it onto five lines using back-slashes.
find FILE_SYSTEM_NAMES -xdev -type f -user root \
\( -name 'sperl4.[0-9][0-9][0-9]' \
-o -name 'sperl5.00[0-3]' \
-o -name 'suidperl' \) \
-perm -04000 -print -ok chmod ug-s '{}' \;
This command will find all files on a system that are
- only in the file system you name (FILE_SYSTEM_NAMES -xdev)
- regular files (-type f)
- owned by root (-user root)
- named appropriately (-name 'sperl4.[0-9][0-9][0-9]'
-o -name 'sperl5.00[0-3]'
-o -name 'suidperl')
- setuid root (-perm -04000)
Once found, those files will
- have their names printed (-print)
- have their modes changed, but only if you type `y'
in response to the prompt (-ok chown ug-s '{}' \;)
B. Obtain and install the appropriate patch from your vendor
If your vendor ships suidperl or sperl, you may be vulnerable and need
a patch. Appendix A contains information provided by the following
vendors. If your vendor is not on this list, please contact the vendor
directly.
Berkeley Software Design, Inc. (BSDI)
Cray Research - A Silicon Graphics Company
Data General Corporation
Hewlett-Packard Company
IBM Corporation
Linux
The Santa Cruz Operation, Inc. (SCO)
Silicon Graphics, Inc. (SGI)
Until you can install a patch, we recommend disabling suidperl.
The find command above will help you do that. If you need
suidperl or sperl, see the alternatives in Sections C and D below.
C. Install suidperl or sperl from 5.003 source code and apply a patch.
Follow the instructions below, which were provided by Chip Salzenberg.
If you would like to keep using setuid Perl scripts, fix Perl
yourself by following these steps:
1. Go to your Perl 5.003 source directory, or else obtain a fresh
Perl 5.003 distribution from
http://www.perl.com/CPAN/src/5.0/perl5.003.tar.gz
or another CPAN archive accessible to you.
This file is approximately 1.5 megabytes in size.
2. Using the "patch" program, apply the patch that is enclosed
below in Appendix B.
3. Build and install the patched Perl 5.003. (If you have never
built Perl before, be sure to read the "INSTALL" file first.)
Perl 5.003 binaries that have had this patch applied, and therefore
are safe from all known attacks, can be identified by the
output of the "perl -v" command: the "locally applied patches" list
will include "SUIDBUF - Buffer overflow fixes for suidperl
security".
D. Install suidperl or sperl from 5.004 source code (no patch needed).
If you would like to upgrade to Perl version 5.004, follow these
steps:
1. Obtain a fresh Perl 5.004 distribution from
http://www.perl.com/CPAN/src/5.0/perl5.004.tar.gz
or another CPAN archive accessible to you.
This file is approximately 2.5 megabytes in size.
2. Build and install Perl 5.004 according to the instructions
given in the "INSTALL" file. Do NOT apply the patch.
Perl 5.004 binaries, which are safe from all known attacks, can be
identified by the output of the "perl -v" command: it should say
"This is perl, version 5.004". (Unlike the 5.003 patch mentioned
in Section C, the "locally applied patches" list will NOT include
"SUIDBUF - Buffer overflow fixes for suidperl security". The fact
that it is version 5.004 is sufficient in this case.)

Appendix A - Vendor Information
Below is a list of the vendors who have provided information for this
advisory. We will update this appendix as we receive additional information.
If you do not see your vendor's name, the CERT/CC did not hear from that
vendor. Please contact the vendor directly.
Berkeley Software Design, Inc. (BSDI)
=====================================
BSD/OS is vulnerable to the suidperl (sperl) buffer overflow problem. We
will be releasing a patch for BSDI 3.0 and perl 5.003 and are currently
working on patches for BSD/OS 3.0 and Perl 4.036. We will also be developing
patches for the perl versions shipped with BSD/OS 2.1.
Cray Research - A Silicon Graphics Company
==========================================
Cray Research does not ship perl as part of either Unicos or Unicos/mk.
Data General Corporation
========================
The only perl executables that are shipped with DG/UX are:
/bin/perl
and
/bin/perl5 /* in R420 */
These are not set uid programs.
Therefore,
No versions of DG/UX are vulnerable to this problem.
Hewlett-Packard Company
=======================
HP does not ship this product.
IBM Corporation
===============
AIX versions do not have Perl as part of the standard product.
However, the SP2's PSSP software does contain suidperl, but the
program is not installed with the setuid bit set.
IBM and AIX are registered trademarks of International Business Machines
Corporation.
Linux
=====
Red Hat 4.2 is not vulnerable
Red Hat 4.1/4.0 you can get the upgraded RPM from ftp.redhat.com
If you wish to check whether you have the fixed perl run perl -v and
check for
Locally applied patches:
SUIDBUF - Buffer overflow fixes for suidperl security
The Santa Cruz Operation, Inc. (SCO)
====================================
suidperl is not included in any SCO products.
SCO CMW+ and SCO OpenServer do not have kernel support for setuid
scripts, but you may have installed suidperl in order to emulate
that functionality - in that case you should replace your version of
perl with version 5.004, or patch your source code as noted in this
advisory.
SCO UnixWare does have safe kernel support for setuid scripts so
that suidperl is not necessary. If you have installed a version
of perl that includes suidperl, you should remove suidperl and
install a version of perl built so as not to require it.
Silicon Graphics, Inc. (SGI)
=============================
At this time, Silicon Graphics does not have any public information for
this suidperl/sperl issue. Silicon Graphics has communicated with
CERT and other external security parties and is actively investigating
this issue. When more Silicon Graphics information (including any
possible patches) is available for release, that information will
be released via the SGI security mailing list, wiretap.
For subscribing to the wiretap mailing list and other SGI security
related information, please refer to the Silicon Graphics Security
Headquarters website located at:
http://www.sgi.com/Support/Secur/security.html
Sun Microsystems, Inc.
======================
Sun does not ship this product.

Appendix B - Source Code Patch Information
The following patch information has been supplied by Chip Salzenberg. If you
built suidperl or sperl from 5.003 source code, we encouraged you to apply
this patch (see the explanation in Section III.C above).
Patch follows.
