CVE

CVE-2014-6271

TITLE

GNU Bash shell executes commands in exported functions in environment variables

DESCRIPTION

GNU Bash through 4.3 processes trailing strings after function definitions in the values of environment variables, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code 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, aka "ShellShock." NOTE: the original fix for this issue was incorrect; CVE-2014-7169 has been assigned to cover the vulnerability that is still present after the incorrect fix. GNU Bash 4.3 and earlier contains a command injection vulnerability that may allow remote code execution. 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. -----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.

HP 3PAR Service Processor (SP) versions prior to SP-4.1.0.GA-97.P011, SP-4.2.0.GA-29.P003, and SP-4.3.0.GA-17.P001. The shell is not accessible via the standard calibration or remote management interfaces. NOTE: Only the Z27x model is vulnerable. The unit provides Calibration Software running on embedded Linux, which includes a Bash Shell. The software is used for service purposes only. This bulletin will be revised when the firmware update is released. 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. Summary VMware product updates address Bash security vulnerabilities. Relevant Releases (Affected products for which remediation is present) vCenter Log Insight 2.0 3. Problem Description a. Bash libraries have been updated in multiple products to resolve multiple critical security issues, also referred to as Shellshock. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the identifiers CVE-2014-6271, CVE-2014-7169, CVE-2014-7186, and CVE-2014-7187 to these issues. VMware products have been grouped into the following four product categories: I) ESXi and ESX Hypervisor ESXi is not affected because ESXi uses the Ash shell (through busybox), which is not affected by the vulnerability reported for the Bash shell. See table 1 for remediation for ESX. II) Windows-based products Windows-based products, including all versions of vCenter Server running on Windows, are not affected. III) VMware (virtual) appliances VMware (virtual) appliances ship with an affected version of Bash. See table 2 for remediation for appliances. IV) Products that run on Linux, Android, OSX or iOS (excluding virtual appliances) Products that run on Linux, Android, OSX or iOS (excluding virtual appliances) might use the Bash shell that is part of the operating system. If the operating system has a vulnerable version of Bash, the Bash security vulnerability might be exploited through the product. VMware recommends that customers contact their operating system vendor for a patch. MITIGATIONS VMware encourages restricting access to appliances through firewall rules and other network layer controls to only trusted IP addresses. This measure will greatly reduce any risk to these appliances. RECOMMENDATIONS VMware recommends customers evaluate and deploy patches for affected products in Table 1 and 2 below as these patches become available. Column 4 of the following tables lists the action required to remediate the vulnerability in each release, if a solution is available. Table 1 - ESXi and ESX Hypervisor ================================= VMware Product Running Replace with/ Product Version on Apply Patch ============== ======= ======= ============= ESXi any ESXi Not affected ESX 4.1 ESX Patch pending * ESX 4.0 ESX Patch pending * * VMware will make VMware ESX 4.0 and 4.1 security patches available for the Bash shell vulnerability.
