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

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 On Thu, 30 Jan 2003 amehta(a)cypherix.com wrote: > Fred, > greetings > I believe we have meet/interacted in the distant past.

[Fwd: iDEFENSE Security Advisory 01.28.03: SSH2 Clients Insecurely Store Passwords]
by Trevor Warren 30 Jan '03

30 Jan '03

-----Forwarded Message----- From: iDEFENSE Labs <labs(a)idefense.com> To: bugtraq(a)securityfocus.com 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: http://www.celestialsoftware.net/telnet/beta_software.html 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 SecureFX 2.1.3 - http://www.vandyke.com/download/securefx/index.html SecureFX 2.0.5 - http://www.vandyke.com/download/securefx/2.0/index.html Entunnel 1.0.3 - http://www.vandyke.com/download/entunnel/index.html - -------- VI. CVE INFORMATION The Mitre Corp.'s Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) Project assigned the following identification numbers to these issue: CAN-2003-0046 - AbsoluteTelnet CAN-2003-0047 - SecureCRT CAN-2003-0048 - PuTTY, SecureFx, and Entunnel VII.
