CVE-2014-6277

TITLE

GNU Bash shell executes commands in exported functions in environment variables

DESCRIPTION

GNU Bash through 4.3 bash43-026 does not properly parse function definitions in the values of environment variables, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (uninitialized memory access, and untrusted-pointer read and write operations) via a crafted environment, as demonstrated by vectors involving the ForceCommand feature in OpenSSH sshd, the mod_cgi and mod_cgid modules in the Apache HTTP Server, scripts executed by unspecified DHCP clients, and other situations in which setting the environment occurs across a privilege boundary from Bash execution. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2014-6271 and CVE-2014-7169. QNAP Systems, Inc. Provided by QTS teeth, Turbo NAS for OS is. QTS for, GNU Bash Vulnerability (JVNVU#97219505) caused by OS Command injection vulnerability (CWE-78) Exists. This vulnerability information is based on the Information Security Early Warning Partnership. IPA Report to JPCERT/CC Coordinated with the developer. Reporter : University of Electro-Communications Wakisaka Yuki MrAny application permission OS The command may be executed. An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition. NOTE: This vulnerability can only be exploited if the attacker already has valid administrative login credentials. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Note: the current version of the following document is available here: https://h20564.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/kb/ docDisplay?docId=emr_na-c04558068 SUPPORT COMMUNICATION - SECURITY BULLETIN Document ID: c04558068 Version: 1 HPSBMU03246 rev.1 - HP Insight Control for Linux Central Management Server Pre-boot Execution Environment running Bash Shell, Multiple Vulnerabilities NOTICE: The information in this Security Bulletin should be acted upon as soon as possible.

Follow these steps to update the HP Insight Control for Linux Central Management Server Pre-boot Execution Environment: NOTE: The following procedure updates the bash shell on the Linux Pre-boot Execution Environment. Please update the Bash shell version on the HP Insight Control for Linux Central Management Server also. 1. On the Production RHEL 6.2 OS: a. Prepare temporary directory for Bash update software: # mkdir -p $HOME/tmp/bash # cd $HOME/tmp/bash # pwd <home directory>/tmp/bash b. Download the file 'bash-4.1.2-15.el6_4.2.i686.rpm' for Insight Control for Linux Red Hat 6.2 i386 from https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2014-1311.html to the temporary directory '$HOME/tmp/bash'. c. Extract the Bash update software package. # rpm2cpio bash-4.1.2-15.el6_4.2.i686.rpm| cpio -idmv d. Verify the version of the Bash update software: # ./bin/bash --version GNU bash, version 4.1.2(1)-release (i686-redhat-linux-gnu) e. Verify version dependencies: # ldd ./bin/bash linux-gate.so.1 => (0x008a7000) libtinfo.so.5 => /lib/libtinfo.so.5 (0x00459000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x002c0000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x0012e000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00108000) f. Create archive file from '/lib' to copy and install on the Insight Control for Linux Central Management Server Pre-boot Execution Environment system: # mkdir $HOME/tmp/lib # cd /lib # cp * $HOME/tmp/lib # cd $HOME/tmp # pwd <home directory>/tmp # tar cvf bash_lib.tar * 2. Download the new archive file '$HOME/tmp/bash_lib.tar' from the Production RHEL 6.2 OS system to the Insight Control for Linux Central Management Server Pre-boot Execution Environment system. 3. On the HP Insight Control for Linux Central Managment Server Pre-boot Execution Environment system: a. Create a temporary folder for the toolkit and copy the toolkit there : # mkdir -p $HOME/tmp/temp-toolkit # cp /usr/share/systemimager/boot/i386/standard/toolkit.tar.gz $HOME/tmp/temp-toolkit b. Extract the file 'toolkit.tar.gz' into the temporary folder: # cd $HOME/tmp/temp-toolkit # tar zxvf toolkit.tar.gz # mv $HOME/tmp/temp-toolkit/toolkit.tar.gz /tmp c. Verify the version of the toolkit Bash: # $HOME/tmp/temp-toolkit/bin/bash --version GNU bash, version 3.2.0(1)-release (i386-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc. d. Verify dependencies versions: # ldd $HOME/tmp/temp-toolkit/bin/bash linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000) libtermcap.so.2 => /lib/libtermcap.so.2 (0xf7f8c000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x008bf000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00777000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00755000) e. Extract the archive 'bash_lib.tar' to directory '$HOME/tmp/bash_lib' . Then copy the bash binary and the library files to their respective locations: # tar xvf $HOME/tmp/bash_lib # cp $HOME/tmp/bash_lib/bash/bash $HOME/tmp/temp-toolkit/bin # cp $HOME/tmp/bash_lib/lib/* $HOME/tmp/temp-toolkit/lib f. Create the updated toolkit gzipped archive file and place in /usr/share/systemimager/boot/i386/standard # tar czvf toolkit.tar.gz * # cp toolkit.tar.gz /usr/share/systemimager/boot/i386/standard HISTORY Version:1 (rev.1) - 2 February 2015 Initial release Third Party Security Patches: Third party security patches that are to be installed on systems running HP software products should be applied in accordance with the customer's patch management policy.

This vulnerability allows users that have been granted access to a shell script to escalate privilege and execute unrestricted commands at the same security level as the Bash script. cachetoken NOTE: HP strongly recommends implementing the following security best practices to help reduce both known and future security vulnerability risks: Isolate the HP Integrity Server's management network by keeping it separate from the data or production network, and not connecting it directly to the Internet without additional access authentication. Patch and maintain Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) and web servers. Use virus scanners, intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS), and vulnerability scanners regularly. Apply all recommended HP Firmware updates
